A photoresponsive electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex, formed by indole and hypervalent iodine such as diacetoxyiodobenzene (DAIB/PIDA, ), was detectable through absorption and emission spectroscopy. Irradiation of the EDA complex with visible light triggered photoinduced single electron transfer (SET) processes that were synthetically useful for the catalyst-free, regioselective acetylation of indoles. The photocatalytic reaction with excess DAIB was also used for the synthesis of isatins. The synthetic protocols were tolerant of a wide variety of substituents on the indole ring, including -substitutions. DFT and TD-DFT studies were performed to model the excited states of the EDA complex and validate the photoinduced SET mechanism.

With the increasing complexity of urban roads and rising traffic flow, traffic safety has become a critical societal concern. Current research primarily addresses drivers' attention, reaction speed, and perceptual abilities, but comprehensive assessments of cognitive abilities in complex traffic environments are lacking. This study, grounded in cognitive science and neuropsychology, identifies and quantitatively evaluates ten cognitive components related to driving decision-making, execution, and psychological states by analyzing video footage of drivers' actions.

The NLRP3 inflammasome, plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by activating inflammatory cytokines such as IL1β and IL18. Targeting NLRP3 has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for RA. In this study, a multidisciplinary approach combining machine learning, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) modeling, structure-activity landscape index (SALI), docking, molecular dynamics (MD), and molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area MM/PBSA assays was employed to identify novel NLRP3 inhibitors.

A visible-light-promoted azidation/arylation of unactivated alkenes with Togni-N has been achieved, leading to a series of azidated pyrrolo[1,2-]indoles under photocatalyst-free conditions. Notably, an EDA complex derived from the electron-rich indole derivatives and Togni-N served as the key intermediate in this reaction.

The increasing number of contaminants released into the environment necessitates innovative strategies for their detection and identification, particularly in complex environmental matrices like hospital wastewater. Hospital effluents contain both natural and synthetic hormones that might significantly contribute to endocrine disruption in aquatic ecosystems. In this study, HT-EDA has been implemented to identify the main effect-drivers (testosterone, androsterone and norgestrel) from hospital effluent using microplate fractionation, the AR-CALUX bioassay and an efficient data processing workflow.

Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are topoisomerase II inhibitors with antibacterial activity, repositioned recently as anti-cancer agents. Glutamic acid (GLA) is an amino acid that affects human metabolism. Since an anti-cancer mechanism of FQs is human topoisomerase II inhibition, it is expected that FQ-GLA hybrids can act similarly.
