The N1-acetylderivatives (ASA) of sulphanylamides (SA) were prepared and their stability to hydrolysis was evaluated together with the spectroscopic and antibacteric activity parameters, with the aim both of obtaining electronic structure-activity relationships and of comparing these results with those previously found for SA. From our results it appears that: a) the stability to hydrolysis is dramatically reduced on passing from the aqueous medium (pH 7) to the culture broth, and that b) in general, the ASA examined do not show any greater antibacterial activity with respect to the parent compounds, as suggested by the values of the spectroscopic indices-taken as experimental electronic indices. This result is in full agreement with the structure-activity relationships previously proposed fo the sulpha drugs.

Rationally manipulating the in-situ formed catalytically active surface of catalysts remains a significant challenge for achieving highly efficient water electrolysis. Herein, we present a bias-induced activation strategy to modulate in-situ Ga leaching and trigger the dynamic surface restructuring of lamellar Ir@Ga2O3 for the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction. The in-situ reconstructed Ga-O-Ir interface sustains high water oxidation rates at OER overpotentials.

Metallofullerenols and fullerenols have attracted attention due to their remarkable ability to interact with various biologically relevant molecules, paving the way for biomedical applications, ranging from medical imaging techniques to drug carriers, acting with increased efficiency and reduced side effects. In this work, we investigated the effects of two fullerene derivatives, Gd@C(OH) and C(OH), on erythrocyte membrane components under oxidative stress conditions induced by 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH) as a source of peroxyl radicals. The results demonstrated that gadolinium encapsulation within the fullerene cage enhanced the electron affinity of Gd@C(OH), resulting in stronger antioxidant activity.

mRNA-based protein replacement therapy has become one of the most widely applied forms of mRNA therapy, with lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) being extensively studied as efficient delivery platforms for mRNA. However, existing LNPs tend to accumulate in the liver or kidneys after intravenous injection, highlighting the need to develop vectors capable of targeting specific organs. In this study, we synthesized a small library of ionizable lipids and identified PPz-2R as a promising candidate, exhibiting lung-targeting capabilities, high mRNA transfection efficiency, and good stability through structure-activity relationship studies.

Recent research has shed light on the complex world of bacterial communication through quorum sensing. This sophisticated intercellular signalling mechanism, driven by auto-inducers, regulates crucial bacterial community behaviours such as biofilm formation, expression of virulence factors, and resistance mechanisms. The increasing threat of antibiotic resistance, coupled with quorum sensing mediated response, necessitates alternative strategies to combat bacterial infections.

This study elucidated the mechanisms involved in the impact of Tsamba (a highland barley product) starch digestibility by different thermal treatments. The results demonstrate that different thermal processing methods (microwave, roasting, sand frying, frying, baking, and steaming) significantly alter the polyphenol content of highland barley, which in turn affects its ability to inhibit α-amylase activity. SEM, CLSM, XRD and FTIR were used to evaluate the effects on starch microstructure and digestibility.
