Four benzophenones, three dihydrocoumarins, and two coumarins were synthesised by a 1-3 step reaction, with yields ranging from 6.2 to 35%. Next, we investigated the antitumour activity of these compounds. Compounds 1, 8, and 9 exhibited strong antitumour activity and were considered promising candidates in this field. In particular, compound 1 exhibited very strong inhibitory activity against HL-60, A-549, SMMC-7721, and SW480 cells, with IC values of 0.48, 0.82, 0.26, and 0.99 μM, respectively. Finally, the antitumour mechanism of compound 1 was investigated through network pharmacology and molecular docking analyses, which identified 22 key genes and 21 tumour pathways. AKT1, ALB, CASP3, ESR1, GAPDH, HSP90AA1, and STAT3 were considered as potential target hub genes for compound 1. These results will enable the future development of benzophenone and its derivatives.

Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) is a crucial chemical process involving the simultaneous or sequential transfer of protons and electrons, playing a vital role in biological processes and energy conversion technologies. This study investigates the use of an organic photoredox catalyst to facilitate a unimolecular PCET process for the generation of alkyl radicals from benzylic alcohols, with a particular focus on alcohols containing electron-rich arene units. By employing a benzophenone derivative as the catalyst, the reaction proceeds efficiently under photoirradiation, achieving significant yields without the need for a Brønsted base.

The level of the human body's burden of benzophenone and camphor ultraviolet (UV) filters can be estimated from their urinary levels. The present study describes the implementations and validation of the sensitive analytical method for the analysis of seven benzophenone and two camphor UV filters in urine. Sample preparation includes overnight enzymatic hydrolysis and ethyl acetate extraction followed by purification by dispersive solid-phase extraction using a sorbent Z-Sep.

The conversion of bio-based molecules into valuable chemicals is essential for advancing sustainable processes and addressing global resource challenges. However, conventional catalytic methods often demand harsh conditions and suffer from low product selectivity. This study introduces a series of bifunctional PdPt catalysts supported on TiO, designed for achieving selective and mild-temperature catalysis in biomass conversion.
