Two (4-hydroxyphenyl) substituted polycyclic carbocycles were prepared and assayed for estrogen receptor activity. 4-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)tricyclo[3.3.1.1]decane-1-methanol (5a/b) and 7-(4-hydroxyphenyl)spiro[3.5]nonan-2-ol ((±)-11) were found to be potent ERβ agonists (1.9 ± 0.4 nM and 6.2 ± 1.4 nM respectively) in a cell-based functional assay. Furthermore, both 5a/b and 11 were highly selective for ERβ over ERα (377 and 1,100-fold selective respectively). While neither compound inhibited CYP2D6 or CYP3A4 at concentrations up to 62.5 μM, 5a/b did have weak binding to CYP2C9 with an IC of 10 ± 0.5 μM. Computational assessment of 5a/b and 11 predicted the most probable site of metabolism would be ortho to the phenolic hydroxyl group.

The fluorinated bisphenol A (2,2-bis[4-hydroxyphenyl]propane, BPA) substitute bisphenol AF (BPAF) could be more persistent and toxic than BPA, but little is known about its environmental fate. In this study, we established a co-metabolic BPAF-degrading bacterial enrichment culture with BPA as the growth substrate. BPAF degradation by the enrichment culture was dependent on BPA, and BPAF could be eliminated to below the detection limit with successive additions of BPA.

MsrB1 is a thiol-dependent enzyme that reduces protein methionine--sulfoxide and regulates inflammatory response in macrophages. Therefore, MsrB1 could be a promising therapeutic target for the control of inflammation. To identify MsrB1 inhibitors, we construct a redox protein-based fluorescence biosensor composed of MsrB1, a circularly permutated fluorescent protein, and the thioredoxin1 in a single polypeptide chain.

A series of sulfonamides incorporating a 1,2,3-triazolyloxime substituted 1,2,3-triazolyl moiety were conceptualized and synthesized as human carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitors. The synthesized small structures, denoted 7a through 7o, exhibited moderate inhibitory effects against the tumor-associated isoforms CA IX and CA XII compared to the well-known CA inhibitor acetazolamide. In contrast, these molecules demonstrated higher potency and a diverse range of selectivity against the cytosolic isoforms CA I and CA II.

Article Synopsis
- Phenylketonuria (PKU) arises from a deficiency in the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), which impairs the conversion of phenylalanine (Phe) to tyrosine (Tyr), resulting in elevated Phe levels that can disrupt neurotransmitter function and lead to cognitive issues.
- Research indicates that blood neurotransmitter metabolites (NTMs) can be used as indicators of brain neurotransmitter levels and show correlations between blood and brain NTMs in mice treated with PAH gene therapy.
- In a study of participants treated with pegvaliase for PKU, blood NTMs showed significant changes: while certain metabolites decreased with treatment, levels of phenylacetylglutamine (
Singlet Oxygen Produced by Aspalathin and Ascorbic Acid Leads to Fragmentation of Dihydrochalcones and Adduct Formation.

Singlet oxygen-mediated fragmentation of various dihydrochalcones and chalcones was reported. (Dihydro)cinnamic acids formed in the fragmentation showed a B-ring substitution pattern of the precursor (dihydro)chalcone. For the first time, the intrinsic generation of singlet oxygen by aspalathin and ascorbic acid under mild aqueous conditions (37 °C, pH 7.
