Cutaneous penetration of methyl nicotinate has been investigated in 20 women divided into reactors and non-reactors on the basis of response to 10% aqueous solution of lactic acid. The vasodilation induced was measured using a laser Doppler perfusion imager (LDPI) every 5 min for 1 h after application of methyl nicotinate. The intensity and duration of inflammation generated by methyl nicotinate were used to assess penetration of this chemical in persons with sensitive skin compared to those with normal skin. Significant differences were found between reactors and non-reactors. Reactors showed a significantly increased intensity of response to methyl nicotinate as early as 5 min after application, and for 30 min afterwards, though the duration of inflammation in these 2 groups was the same. Correlation between increased penetration of methyl nicotinate and skin response to lactic acid may suggest increased penetration of water-soluble chemicals in individuals with sensitive skin.

This work presents a sustainable approach for synthesizing esters from carboxylic acids, amino acids and carbohydrates using a robust and eco-friendly chitosan-incorporated ionic liquid under solvent-free conditions. Ionic liquids with carbon chain lengths ranging from 3 to 8 were integrated into the chitosan molecule, resulting in a heterogeneous catalyst optimized for esterification reactions. Among these, the 6-carbon chain ionic liquid demonstrated superior catalytic activity and substrate tolerance.

The integumentary system, a vital organ, constitutes a multifaceted barrier against pathogens and environmental factors, crucial for maintaining homeostasis. Intrinsic and extrinsic factors can accelerate skin aging and compromise its homeostatic functions and solar rays, particularly ultraviolet (UV) radiation, pose a significant risk for skin cancer. Polyphenols are molecules that donate hydrogen or electrons, preventing the oxidation of substances, such as lipids, or the formation of inflammatory mediators by cyclooxygenase enzymes.

This paper presents a clinical demonstration of an electrochemical sensor that detects methyl-nicotinate (MN), a volatile organic biomarker associated with active pulmonary tuberculosis. The sensor was initially tested on a patient cohort comprised of 57 adults in Kampala, Uganda, of whom 42 were microbiologically confirmed TB-positive and 15 TB-negative.

Herein, we present the first racemic total synthesis of the structurally complex monoterpene indole alkaloids rhynchines A-E, starting from commercially available methyl nicotinate and 3-(2-bromoethyl)-1-indole. The success of our synthesis is attributed to the utilization of a bioinspired synthetic strategy, which facilitated the rapid construction of the pentacyclic core skeleton of the target molecules through biomimetic skeletal rearrangement and late-stage C-H oxidative cyclization. Additionally, silica-gel-promoted tautomerization played a crucial role as a strategic element in the chemical synthesis of rhynchines A and B.
