    Abstract Co-catalyzed stereospecific C-N and C-O bond formation of oxiranes with diaziridines has been accomplished to furnish tetrahydro-[1,3,4]-oxadiazines at room temperature. Optically active oxiranes can be coupled with high optical purities (>96% ee). Stereoselectivity, functional group tolerance, mechanistic studies using DFT, and natural product modification are the important practical features.

    Abstract Metal oxide resistive gas sensors suffer from poor selectivity that restricts their practical applicability. Conventional sensor arrays are used to improve selectivity which increased the system complexity. Here, we have proposed a novel NiO/ZnO-based p-n junction single-diode device for selective sensing of several volatile organic compounds (VOCs) simultaneously by tuning bias voltage. The operating voltage was varied between 3 and 5 volts to achieve selective sensing of 2-propanol (19.1 times for 95 ppm with response and recovery times of 70 s and 55 s respectively' at 3 volts), toluene (20.1 times for 95 ppm with response and recovery times of 100 s and 60 s respectively, at 4 volts), and formaldehyde (11.2 times for 95 ppm with response and recovery times of 88 s and 54 s respectively, at 5 volts). A probable mechanism of the tunable selectivity with operating bias voltage due to increase in surface carriers with increasing voltage was hence put forth. Thus, this device may play an important role to develop future selective multiple VOC sensor thereby replacing standard sensor arrays.

    Abstract: ... 1(fc21) lifespan. Synergistic rescue occurred only with glucose, nicotinic acid and N-acetylcysteine ...

    Abstract Mitochondrial respiratory chain disorders are empirically managed with variable antioxidant, cofactor and vitamin 'cocktails'. However, clinical trial validated and approved compounds, or doses, do not exist for any single or combinatorial mitochondrial disease therapy. Here, we sought to pre-clinically evaluate whether rationally designed mitochondrial medicine combinatorial regimens might synergistically improve survival, health and physiology in translational animal models of respiratory chain complex I disease. Having previously demonstrated that gas-1(fc21) complex I subunit ndufs2-/-C. elegans have short lifespan that can be significantly rescued with 17 different metabolic modifiers, signaling modifiers or antioxidants, here we evaluated 11 random combinations of these three treatment classes on gas-1(fc21) lifespan. Synergistic rescue occurred only with glucose, nicotinic acid and N-acetylcysteine (Glu + NA + NAC), yielding improved mitochondrial membrane potential that reflects integrated respiratory chain function, without exacerbating oxidative stress, and while reducing mitochondrial stress (UPRmt) and improving intermediary metabolic disruptions at the levels of the transcriptome, steady-state metabolites and intermediary metabolic flux. Equimolar Glu + NA + NAC dosing in a zebrafish vertebrate model of rotenone-based complex I inhibition synergistically rescued larval activity, brain death, lactate, ATP and glutathione levels. Overall, these data provide objective preclinical evidence in two evolutionary-divergent animal models of mitochondrial complex I disease to demonstrate that combinatorial Glu + NA + NAC therapy significantly improved animal resiliency, even in the face of stressors that cause severe metabolic deficiency, thereby preventing acute neurologic and biochemical decompensation. Clinical trials are warranted to evaluate the efficacy of this lead combinatorial therapy regimen to improve resiliency and health outcomes in human subjects with mitochondrial disease.

    Abstract A simple and efficient cascade pathway for the synthesis of pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(3H,5H)-diones by the reaction of N,N-dimethyl barbituric acid, aromatic aldehydes and terminal alkynes using ultrasonic irradiation as the energy source has been developed. The methodology describes the first use of easily accessible ZnCl₂ in alkynylide formation leading to multicomponent synthesis of the heterocycle. Additionally, the final products are obtained by recrystallization from hot ethanol without involving the laborious and solvent consuming chromatographic techniques. The proposed mechanistic pathway has been studied with Density Functional Theory and the compounds synthesized are characterized with SC-XRD, ¹H NMR ¹³C NMR, and HRMS analysis.

    Abstract A unique facile process has been adopted for fast assembly of a poly(N-vinyl imidazole) cross-linked β-cyclodextrin hydrogel through microwave-assisted free radical polymerization, using N,N′-methylenebis(acrylamide) cross-linker. The copolymer possesses positive surface charge, one of the characteristic properties of an ideal hemostatic hydrogel. The functionalized imidazole-based hydrogel demonstrates rapid, superior blood coagulation kinetics under in vitro and in vivo conditions. On application to a major renal arterial hemorrhagic model, this hydrogel shows better blood clotting kinetics, leading to complete hemostasis in as few as ∼144 ± 7 s. Additionally, 350 μL of whole blood was clotted instantly, in ∼35 s, and therefore, reinforcing its hemostatic potential. The hydrogel demonstrates excellent biocompatibility, when seeded with human dermal fibroblast cells, retaining the native property of its predecessor. In addition, the hydrogel presents excellent hemocompatibility when tested with whole blood with the highest hemolytic ratio of 1.07 ± 0.05%. Moreover, it also demonstrates potential as a carrier for sustained release of an anesthetic drug, lidocaine hydrochloride monohydrate (∼83% in 24 h). The rapid hemostatic behavior of the hydrogel is coupled with its cytocompatibility and hemocompatibilty properties along with controlled drug release characteristics. These behaviors evidently demonstrate it to be an excellent alternative for a superior hemostatic material for severe hemorrhagic conditions.

    Abstract A new ligand N,N-bis-(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)L-methionine has been synthesized and well characterized by different analytical techniques. The ligand has a very strong affinity for silver(I) and is used for the selective extraction of silver ions from aqueous solution into 1-butanol. The effect of concentration of Ag(I), pH, diverse ions, and temperature on the extraction is reported. The developed method has success-fully been applied to the determination of silver in different samples. Radiotracer technique, using ¹¹⁰ᵐAg(I) as a tracer, has been used for monitoring the concentration of silver ion.

    Abstract GM2 gangliosidoses, including Tay-Sachs disease and Sandhoff disease, are lysosomal storage disorders caused by deficiencies in β-N-acetylhexosaminidase (Hex). Patients are afflicted primarily with progressive central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction. Studies in mice, cats, and sheep have indicated safety and widespread distribution of Hex in the CNS after intracranial vector infusion of AAVrh8 vectors encoding species-specific Hex α- or β-subunits at a 1:1 ratio. Here, a safety study was conducted in cynomolgus macaques (cm), modeling previous animal studies, with bilateral infusion in the thalamus as well as in left lateral ventricle of AAVrh8 vectors encoding cm Hex α- and β-subunits.

    Abstract A metal-free one-pot strategy has been developed for the first time to synthesize pharmaceutically important α-amino ketones from readily available benzylic secondary alcohols and amines using N-bromosuccinimide. This new reaction proceeds via three consecutive steps involving oxidation of alcohols, α-bromination of ketones, and nucleophilic substitution of α-bromo ketones to give α-amino ketones. Importantly, this novel one-pot greener reaction avoids direct usage of toxic and corrosive bromine. This methodology has been employed efficiently to synthesize pharmaceutically important amfepramone and pyrovalerone in a single step.

    Abstract Multiple bonding has always excited chemists. Recently, triple bonding between beryllium and N atoms in the HNBeCO complex has been reported based on experimental infrared spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. However, the present work reports a different structure based on a detailed potential energy surface scan. The global minimum geometry features only a weak partial Be-N double bond. The global minimum geometry lies very deep in the potential energy surface with respect to the reported one. Isomerization kinetics reveals that the reported structure has to overcome a very small barrier (5.4 kcal/mol) to isomerize to the global one. Although the previously reported structure is a real minimum, the present study identifies a much lower energy structure. A re-examination of the experimental spectra might show that the global minimum has also been observed.

    Abstract The Calogero-Leyvraz Lagrangian framework, associated with the dynamics of a charged particle moving in a plane under the combined influence of a magnetic field as well as a frictional force, proposed by Calogero and Leyvraz, has some special features. It is endowed with a Shannon "entropic" type kinetic energy term. In this paper, we carry out the constructions of the 2D Lotka-Volterra replicator equations and the N=2 Relativistic Toda lattice systems using this class of Lagrangians. We take advantage of the special structure of the kinetic term and deform the kinetic energy term of the Calogero-Leyvraz Lagrangians using the κ-deformed logarithm as proposed by Kaniadakis and Tsallis. This method yields the new construction of the κ-deformed Lotka-Volterra replicator and relativistic Toda lattice equations.
