Click chemistry refers to selective reactions developed for grafting of bio(macro)molecules in their biological media. Caged click compounds have been employed to spatiotemporally control click reactions. Here, we survey the uncaging of photo-dibenzocyclooctyne-OH (photoDIBO-OH) to its click-chemistry active form DIBO-OH, with particular attention to its conversion timescale and efficiency. Ultraviolet pump-infrared probe experiments reveal a stepwise decarbonylation: first, carbon monoxide (C≡O) is released within 1.8 ps, and then, it converts, within 10 ps, to DIBO-OH. Completion of uncaging is achieved with an efficiency of ∼50%. A successful demonstration of two-photon uncaging of photoDIBO-OH at long wavelength (700 nm) confers enhanced in vivo compatibility and proceeds on the same timescale.

Negative Symptoms in Schizophrenia: An Update on Research Assessment and the Current and Upcoming Treatment Landscape.
CNS Drugs
January 2025
New York State Psychiatric Institute, 1051 Riverside Drive, New York, NY, 10032, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The negative symptoms of schizophrenia, like lack of emotion and motivation, are hard to treat and significantly impact daily functioning.
- This review highlights current research on treatment options for these symptoms, categorizing them into different types and evaluating various assessment scales.
- Although no treatments are conclusively proven as the best for these symptoms, some off-label and investigational medications show promise, including cariprazine and memantine, and further research is needed to explore new therapeutic possibilities.
Water Uptake, Thin-Film Characterization, and Gravimetric pH-Sensing of Poly(vinylphosphonate)-Based Hydrogels.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces
January 2025
Technical University of MunichTUM School of Natural Sciences, Department of Chemistry, WACKER-Chair of Macromolecular Chemistry, Lichtenbergstraße 485748 Garching, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- A novel type of superabsorbent hydrogels was created by cross-linking hydrophilic poly(vinylphosphonates) through a process called photochemical reaction, which involves light to trigger the bonding.
- The process included synthesizing specific copolymers using a rare earth metal technique, followed by modifications to introduce vinylphosphonic acid, leading to significant water absorption capabilities of up to 150g of water per g of hydrogel.
- The hydrogels were shown to respond to changes in pH, with experiments demonstrating their ability to swell and deswell reversibly in response to acidic or basic environments, making them suitable for use as sensors in various applications.
Blurring the lines: an empirical examination of the interrelationships among acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility.

Australian Genomics, Murdoch Children's Research Institute, Melbourne, Australia.
Background: Acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility are established implementation outcomes used to understand stakeholders' perceptions of an intervention. Further, they are thought to provide insight into behaviors, such as adoption. To date, measurement instruments for the three outcomes have focused on their individual assessment whilst nodding to the idea that they may interrelate.

Sphingolipid metabolism comprises a complex interconnected web of enzymes, metabolites and modes of regulation that influence a wide range of cellular and physiological processes. Deciphering the biological relevance of this network is challenging as numerous intermediates of sphingolipid metabolism are short-lived molecules with often opposing biological activities. Here, we introduce clickable, azobenzene-containing sphingosines, termed caSphs, as light-sensitive substrates for sphingolipid biosynthesis.
