We report a full-dimensional spin-orbit-corrected analytical potential energy surface (PES) for the HBr + CH → Br + CH reaction and a quasi-classical dynamics study on the new PES. For the PES development, the ROBOSURFER program package is applied and the ManyHF-based UCCSD(T)-F12a/cc-pVDZ-F12(-PP) energy points are fitted using the permutationally-invariant monomial symmetrization approach. The spin-orbit coupling at the level of MRCI-F12+Q(5,3)/cc-pVDZ-F12(-PP) is taken into account, since it has a significant effect in the exit channel of this reaction. Our simulations show that in the 1-40 kcal mol collision energy () range the = 0 reaction probability increases first and then decreases with increasing , reaching around 15% at the medium . No significant dependence is observed in the range of 5-20 kcal mol. The reaction probabilities decrease monotonically with increasing and the maximum where reactivity vanishes is smaller and smaller as increases. Unlike in the case of HBr + CH, the integral cross-section decays sharply as changes from 5 to 1 kcal mol. Scattering angle distributions usually show forward scattering preference, indicating the dominance of the direct stripping mechanism. The reaction clearly favors H-side attack over side-on HBr and the least-preferred Br-side approach, and favors side-on CHCH attack over the CH-side and the least-preferred CH-side approach. The initial translational energy turns out to convert mostly into product recoil, whereas the reaction energy excites the CH vibration. The vibrational and rotational distributions of the CH product slightly blue-shift as increases, and very few reactive trajectories violate zero-point energy.

In this present work, we describe the syntheses of a new series of 32 1H-indole-based-meldrum linked 1H-1,2,3-triazole derivatives (2-13, 15a-15f, 16a-16f, 17a-17f and 19a, 19b, 20a), which constitute a new class of 1H-1,2,3-triazoles. Compounds 15a-15f, 16a-16f, 17a-17f have been prepared by employing "click" reactions between substituted 1H-indole-based meldrum alkynes (11, 12 and 13) and substituted aromatic azides (14a-14f) in the presence of copper iodide (CuI) and Hünig's base. Then, the synthesis of compounds 19, 20 through decomposition of meldrum moiety.

The objective of this omega-3 feeding study was to elucidate the independent effects of α-linolenic acid (ALA) versus eicosapentaenoic (EPA)/docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on visceral adiposity and inflammatory signaling in diet-induced obese delta-6 desaturase (Fads2) knockout (KO) mice. Male wildtype (WT) and Fads2 KO mice were fed a high-fat diet (45% kcal from fat) containing either lard (no omega-3s), flaxseed (ALA), or menhaden (EPA/DHA) for 21 weeks. Epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) was analyzed for changes in tissue weight, adipocyte size, triacylglycerol (TAG) and fatty acid content, and inflammatory markers.

Prostate cancer is a prevalent and highly heterogeneous malignancy that affects men globally. Despite the availability of various treatment targets, Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes have gained significant attention due to their crucial role in metabolizing both endogenous and exogenous compounds. This study explores Diosmetin as a potential CYP antagonist for treating prostate cancer.
