Molecular portrayal regarding multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates.
The level of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) was significantly elevated in the riclinoctaose cecum. Our results suggested that riclinoctaose as a prebiotic may have a great potential application in functional foods.A new method was developed for the synthesis of 4-chalcogenyl-1H-isochromen-1-ones through the 6-endo-dig electrophilic cyclization of 2-alkynylaryl esters and diorganyl dichalcogenides under ultrasound irradiation. The reactions were performed under mild conditions, using Oxone as a green oxidant to promote the cleavage of the chalcogen-chalcogen bond in diorganyl diselenides and ditellurides to generate electrophilic species in situ. A total of 25 compounds were selectively obtained after 30-70 min, in good to excellent yields (74-95%). This procedure was extended to prepare 5H-selenopheno[3,2-c]isochromen-5-ones. Additionally, for the first time, the 4-chalcogenyl-1H-isochromen-1-ones were used as substrates in the thionation reaction, using Lawesson's reagent and microwave irradiation under solvent-free conditions, obtaining the thio derivatives in yields of up to 99% in only 15 min.For solving the "coordinate problem" in a product state-resolved calculation with the quantum wave packet method, an interaction-asymptotic region decomposition (IARD) method has been proposed for a general triatomic reactive scattering process. In the IARD method, the three asymptotic regions are represented by the corresponding Jacobi coordinates, but the hyperspherical coordinate is applied for representing the interaction region. For a triatomic reaction A + B2 with symmetry, explicit inclusion of all three channels in the calculations is unnecessary. Thus, numerical methods for exploring the symmetry of the A + B2 reaction need to be developed. Due to the symmetry of reactant B2, spherical harmonics with only even or odd number are required for representing the angular degree of freedom in the reactant channel and only one product channel needs to be considered. For representing the interaction region, the symmetry in the hyperspherical coordinate could also be explored to reduce the computational effort. The advantages of the IARD method with symmetry adoption were illustrated by calculating the product state-resolved reaction probabilities of the 16O + 36O2, 18O + 32O2, F + H2, and D+ + H2 reactions in the ultracold collision region. The numerical results calculated using the famous ABC code and the reactant coordinate-based method were provided for comparison.Hybrid bismuth-containing halides are emerging as alternative candidates to lead-containing perovskites for light-harvesting applications, as Bi3+ is isoelectronic with Pb2+ and the presence of an active lone pair of electrons is expected to result in outstanding charge-carrier transport properties. Here, we report a family of one binary and three ternary iodobismuthates containing 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO). These materials have been prepared solvothermally and their crystal structures, thermal stability, and optical properties determined. Reactions carried out in the presence of bismuth iodide and DABCO produced (C6H12N2)BiI3 (1), which consists of hybrid ribbons in which pairs of edge-sharing bismuth octahedra are linked by DABCO ligands. Short I···I contacts give rise to a three-dimensional network. Similar reactions in the presence of copper iodide produced (C8H17N2)2Bi2Cu2I10 (2) and [(C6H13N2)2BiCu2I7](C2H5OH) (3) in which either ethylated DABCO cations (EtDABCO)+ or monoprotonated DABCO cations (DABCOH)+ are coordinated to copper in discrete tetranuclear and trinuclear clusters, respectively. In the presence of potassium iodide, a unique three-dimensional framework, (C6H14N2)[(C6H12N2)KBiI6] (4), was formed, which contains one-dimensional hexagonal channels approximately 6 Å in diameter. The optical band gaps of these materials, which are semiconductors, range between 1.82 and 2.27 eV, with the lowest values found for the copper-containing discrete clusters. Preliminary results on the preparation of thin films are presented.Cardioprotective activity of dexrazoxane (ICRF-187), the only clinically approved drug against anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity, has traditionally been attributed to its iron-chelating metabolite. Disufenton However, recent experimental evidence suggested that the inhibition and/or depletion of topoisomerase IIβ (TOP2B) by dexrazoxane could be cardioprotective. Hence, we evaluated a series of dexrazoxane analogues and found that their cardioprotective activity strongly correlated with their interaction with TOP2B in cardiomyocytes, but was independent of their iron chelation ability. Very tight structure-activity relationships were demonstrated on stereoisomeric forms of 4,4'-(butane-2,3-diyl)bis(piperazine-2,6-dione). In contrast to its rac-form 12, meso-derivative 11 (ICRF-193) showed a favorable binding mode to topoisomerase II in silico, inhibited and depleted TOP2B in cardiomyocytes more efficiently than dexrazoxane, and showed the highest cardioprotective efficiency. Importantly, the observed ICRF-193 cardioprotection did not interfere with the antiproliferative activity of anthracycline. Hence, this study identifies ICRF-193 as the new lead compound in the development of efficient cardioprotective agents.A methyl group can have a profound impact on the pharmacological properties of organic molecules. Hence, developing methylation methods and methylating reagents is essential in medicinal chemistry. We report a palladium-catalyzed dimethylation reaction of ortho-substituted iodoarenes using dimethyl carbonate as a methyl source. In the presence of K2CO3 as a base, iodoarenes are dimethylated at the ipso- and meta-positions of the iodo group, which represents a novel strategy for meta-C-H methylation. With KOAc as the base, subsequent oxidative C(sp3)-H/C(sp3)-H coupling occurs; in this case, the overall transformation achieves triple C-H activation to form three new C-C bonds. These reactions allow expedient access to 2,6-dimethylated phenols, 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans, and indanes, which are ubiquitous structural motifs and essential synthetic intermediates of biologically and pharmacologically active compounds.
