We designed and synthesized two novel photocaged peroxide compounds, N5TBHP and N6TBHP, featuring nitrogen-containing fused ring coumarin skeletons. Notably, a tetrahydroquinoline fused coumarin derivative, N6TBHP demonstrated significantly higher photocleavage efficiency under visible light at 455 nm compared to N5TBHP, which contains an indoline fused coumarin. This process effectively releases the oxidative stress inducer tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP). Additionally, N6TBHP exhibits high resistance to glutathione (GSH), and its UV spectral analysis suggests enhanced intracellular stability due to reduced reactivity with GSH through self-assembly. Furthermore, N6TBHP can release an optimal amount of TBHP into cells under visible light irradiation with minimal cell damage. These properties position N6TBHP as a promising tool for advancing research in intracellular redox signaling.

We present a novel, metal- and additive-free method for the robust synthesis of dihydrofuran-fused naphthalenes and coumarins. This approach utilizes the annulative coupling of sulfoxonium ylides with aldehydes, naphthols, or coumarins at ambient temperature. The method exhibits broad substrate compatibility, accommodating various functional groups on sulfoxonium ylides and naphthol or coumarin derivatives and resulting in good to high yields of the desired products.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a heterogeneous endocrine disorder characterized by ovarian cysts, anovulation, endocrine variations, which includes oligo-amenorrhea along with associated subfertility and hyperandrogenism manifested as acne, hirsutism, and male-pattern alopecia. Coumarins are fused benzene and pyrone ring systems that exhibit a wide spectrum of bioactivities. This study aimed to investigate the effects of 3-acetyl coumarin (3-AC) on polycystic ovarian syndrome in female rats.

Established chromatographic techniques for mycotoxin control in foodstuffs require prior sample enrichment and clean-up, typically achieved using immunoaffinity columns (IACs). Bovine serum albumin (BSA) has recently emerged as a cost-effective alternative to antibodies used in IACs. This study aimed at exploring the BSA domain II (BDII), which houses the primary binding site for ochratoxin A (OTA), as a bioreceptor for OTA capture.

Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) are a class of homodimeric ligands that bind to their receptors (VEGFRs) to carryout physiological and pathological angiogenesis essential for regulating homeostasis of body. Overexpression of VEGF results in metastasis of benign tumor into malignant tumor. An active role of VEGFR-2 in cancer angiogenesis makes it a major target for cancer therapy.

A simple mono/dialkylation of acrylamide derivatives was achieved, affording diverse mono/dialkylated benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-]isoquinolines or polycyclic coumarins with good substrate scope. This system used common peroxides as alkylating reagents. Meanwhile, a series of scaled-up reactions and mechanistic explorations well demonstrated the application and reaction process of this cascade system.
