Photochemical reactions are powerful tools for synthesizing organic molecules. The input of energy provided by light offers a means to produce strained and unique molecules that cannot be assembled using thermal protocols, allowing for the production of immense molecular complexity in a single chemical step. Furthermore, unlike thermal reactions, photochemical reactions do not require active reagents such as acids, bases, metals, or enzymes. Photochemical reactions play a central role in green chemistry. This article reports the isolation and structure determination of four new compounds (1-4) from the photoreaction products of the Polyozellus multiplex MeOH ext. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated using MS, IR, comprehensive NMR measurements and microED. The four compounds were formed by deacetylation of polyozellin, the main secondary metabolite of P. multiplex, and addition of singlet oxygen generated by sunlight. To develop drugs for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) on the basis of the amyloid cascade hypothesis, the compounds (1-4) obtained by photoreaction were evaluated for BACE1 inhibitory activity. The hydrolysates (5 and 6) of polyozellin, the main secondary metabolites of P. multiplex, were also evaluated. The photoreaction products (3 and 4) and hydrolysates (5 and 6) of polyozellin showed BACE1 inhibitory activity (IC: 2.2, 16.4, 23.3, and 5.3 μM, respectively).

Chemical modifications are widely used in research fields such as quantitative proteomics and interaction analyses. Chemical-modification targets can be roughly divided into four categories, including those that integrate isotope labels for quantification purposes, probe the structures of proteins through covalent labeling or cross-linking, incorporate labels to improve the ionization or dissociation of characteristic peptides in complex mixtures, and affinity-enrich various poorly abundant protein translational modifications (PTMs). A chemical modification reaction needs to be simple and efficient for use in proteomics analysis, and should be performed without any complicated process for preparing the labeling reagent.

An aryl radical assay is used to provide information about the formation of aryl radicals from aryl halides in coupling reactions to arenes in the presence of palladium sources and under LED irradiation (λ = 456 nm). The assay uses 2-halo--xylenes as substrates. Aryl radical formation is indicated both by a defined product composition and by signature deuterium isotope effects.

Tinidazole (TNZ), a common nitroimidazole antibiotic, is pervasive in aquatic ecosystems, posing potential threats to marine organisms. The environmental fate of TNZ, particularly under solar irradiation, and the associated secondary risks are not well characterized. Herein, the photochemical reactivity of TNZ and four other typical nitroimidazoles (i.

Sunlight irradiation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in surface water results in the production of photochemically produced reactive intermediates (PPRIs). This process is inevitably influenced by co-existing metal ions in aquatic environments; However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, the effect of co-existing copper ion (Cu) on PPRIs produced by irradiation of DOM was systematically investigated, because Cu is a typical redox transient cation and has strong affinity to DOM.

Semiconductor nanomaterials and nanostructured interfaces have important technological applications, ranging from fuel production to electrosynthesis. Their photocatalytic activity is known to be highly heterogeneous, both in an ensemble of nanomaterials and within a single entity. Photoelectrochemical imaging techniques are potentially useful for high-resolution mapping of photo(electro)catalytic active sites; however, the nanoscale spatial resolution required for such experiments has not yet been attained.
