A three-component condensation of 2-unsubstituted imidazole -oxides, 3-ketonitriles, and aldehydes is described. The reaction proceeds sequential Knoevenagel condensation/Michael addition under mild, catalyst-free conditions with various substrates. Furthermore, the corresponding 2-functionalized imidazole -oxides can be further dehydrated to ()-2-aroyl-3-(1-imidazol-2-yl)-acrylonitriles, which may also be directly prepared by changing the reaction conditions as a cascade of Knoevenagel condensation/Michael addition/dehydration.

Given the prevalence of nitrogen-containing heterocycles in commercial drugs, selectively incorporating a single nitrogen atom is a promising scaffold hopping approach to enhance chemical diversity in drug discovery libraries. We harness the distinct reactivity of sulfenylnitrenes, which insert a single nitrogen atom to transform readily available pyrroles, indoles, and imidazoles into synthetically challenging pyrimidines, quinazolines, and triazines, respectively. Our additive-free method for skeletal editing employs easily accessible, benchtop-stable sulfenylnitrene precursors over a broad temperature range (-30 to 150°C).

Article Synopsis
  • Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) face challenges due to the limitations of Nafion membranes, which can degrade when exposed to strong oxidizers, prompting the need for new stable proton-conductive materials.
  • A novel material, Htimb-based PMo-based POMOFs (CUST-577), was synthesized, demonstrating excellent proton conductivity and longevity, with a proton conductivity of 8.9 × 10 S cm at 80 °C and 98% relative humidity.
  • CUST-577 also showed impressive capacitance properties in a three-electrode system, with a high specific capacitance of 308 F/g and strong retention after extensive cycling, indicating its potential

Article Synopsis
  • Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a common pregnancy complication that can affect renal function and oxidative stress, prompting this study on the potential benefits of olive leaf extracts and stem cells.
  • Research involved pregnant rats with induced diabetes to measure various kidney and oxidative stress markers, finding that treatments significantly improved these conditions.
  • Results indicated that both treatments not only reduced harmful substance levels but also promoted cellular regeneration and improved kidney tissue structure, suggesting their effectiveness in managing GDM-related complications.

Renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common clinical factor for acute kidney injury (AKI). A current study investigated the renoprotective effects of the trinitroglycerine (TNG) combination with chitosan nanoparticles (CNPs) on renal I/R-induced AKI. Rats were randomly assigned to five groups (n = 8/group): Sham, I/R, TNG (50 mg/kg) + I/R, CNPs (60 mg/kg) + I/R, and TNG-CNPs + I/R.

Background: Acute lung injury (ALI) significantly impacts the survival rates in intensive care units (ICU). Releasing a lot of pro-inflammatory mediators during the progression of the disease is a core feature of ALI, which may lead to uncontrolled inflammation and further damages the tissues and organs of patients. This study explores the potential therapeutic mechanisms of Dexmedetomidine (Dex) in ALI.
