To meet the needs of developing efficient extractive materials alongside the evolution of miniaturized sorbent-based sample preparation techniques, a mesoporous structure of g-CN doped with sulfur as a heteroatom was achieved utilizing a bubble template approach while avoiding the severe conditions of other methods. In an effort to increase the number of adsorption sites, the resultant exfoliated structure was then modified with thymol-coumarin NADES as a natural sorbent modifier, followed by introduction into a nylon 6 polymer via an electrospinning process. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis validated S-doped g-CN and composite production.

Contemporary research has convincingly demonstrated that upregulation of G protein-coupled receptor 183 (GPR183), orchestrated by its endogenous agonist, 7α,25-dihydroxyxcholesterol (7α,25-OHC), leads to the development of cancer, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, infectious, and inflammatory diseases. A recent study unveiled the cryo-EM structure of 7α,25-OHC bound GPR183 complex, presenting an untapped opportunity for computational exploration of potential GPR183 inhibitors, which served as our inspiration for the current work. A predictive and validated two-dimensional QSAR model using genetic algorithm (GA) and multiple linear regression (MLR) on experimental GPR183 inhibition data was developed.

Covering: 2016 to 2023The synthetic chemistry community is always in pursuit of efficient routes to natural products. Among the many available general strategies, skeletal reorganization, which involves the formation, cleavage, and migration of C-C and C-heteroatom bonds, stands out as a particularly useful approach for the efficient assembly of molecular skeletons. In addition, it allows for late-stage modification of natural products for quick access to other family members or unnatural derivatives.

This review focuses on a rare group of steroids and triterpenoids that share common properties as regulators of lipid metabolism. This group of compounds is divided by the type of chemical structure, and they represent: aromatic steroids, steroid phosphate esters, highly oxygenated steroids such as steroid endoperoxides and hydroperoxides, α,β-epoxy steroids, and secosteroids. In addition, subgroups of carbon-bridged steroids, neo steroids, miscellaneous steroids, as well as synthetic steroids containing heteroatoms S (), Se (), Te (), and At () were presented.
