Step- and atom-economical synthesis of 2-aryl benzimidazoles via the sulfur-mediated redox condensation between o-nitroanilines and aryl methanols was written by Le, Huy X.;Nguyen, Khoa D.;Phan, Nam T. S.;Le, Ha V.;Nguyen, Tung T.. And the article was included in Tetrahedron in 2022.Name: (4-Methoxyphenyl)methanol This article mentions the following:

2-Nitroanilines and arylmethanols were used in the preparation of 2-aryl benzimidazoles I [R = 6-Me, 4-Me, etc.; R1 = Ph, 4-ClC6H4, etc.] in the presence of elemental sulfur and an amine. Mechanistic results indicated a dual role of sulfur as both oxidizing and reducing agents in this synthetic pathway. A variety of benzimidiazoles containing halogens, as well as trifluoromethyl, methoxy, and cyano groups, plus heterocycles were prepared in moderate-to-good yields. The utilization of more stable and available substrates in the absence of transition metals and other solvents offers a rapid and green synthesis of benzimidazoles.

Abstract: Novel mesoporous carbon cathode material for Lithium-Sulfur battery were successfully synthesized from the shells of the avocado fruit. The crystalline structure of the formed carbon was characterized via X-Ray diffraction while SEM was used to observe the morphol. The electronic conductivity was determined as a function of pressure and the COOH functional group were quantified via a titration The mesoporous structure of the formed carbon network allows for good sulfur penetration which is translated by decent electrochem. performance both in terms of cycle life and rate capability. Carbons prepared from waste avocado shells and functionalized with HNO3 offer a good performance in terms of capacity retention (500 mAh/g of sulfur after 100 cycles). This favorable performance may be attributed to the role of functional COOH groups on the surface of the activated carbon. Graphical abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury is a complication of liver surgery that involves mitochondrial dysfunction resulting from mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening. Cyclophilin D (PPIF or CypD) is a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase that regulates mPTP opening in the inner mitochondrial membrane. We investigated whether and how recently created small-mol. inhibitors of CypD prevent opening of the mPTP in hepatocytes and the resulting effects in cell models and livers of mice undergoing ischemia/reperfusion injury. We measured the activity of 9 small-mol. inhibitors of cyclophilins in an assay of CypD activity. The effects of the small-mol. CypD inhibitors or vehicle on mPTP opening were assessed by measuring mitochondrial swelling and calcium retention in isolated liver mitochondria from C57BL/6J (wild-type) and Ppif-/- (CypD knockout) mice and in primary mouse and human hepatocytes by fluorescence microscopy. We induced ischemia/reperfusion injury in livers of mice given a small-mol. CypD inhibitor or vehicle before and during reperfusion and collected samples of blood and liver for histol. anal. The compounds inhibited peptidyl-prolyl isomerase activity (half maximal inhibitory concentration values, 0.2-16.2 μmol/L) and, as a result, calcium-induced mitochondrial swelling, by preventing mPTP opening (half maximal inhibitory concentration values, 1.4-132 μmol/L) in a concentration-dependent manner. The most potent inhibitor (C31) bound CypD with high affinity and inhibited swelling in mitochondria from livers of wild-type and Ppif-/- mice (indicating an addnl., CypD-independent effect on mPTP opening) and in primary human and mouse hepatocytes. Administration of C31 in mice with ischemia/reperfusion injury before and during reperfusion restored hepatic calcium retention capacity and oxidative phosphorylation parameters and reduced liver damage compared with vehicle. Recently created small-mol. inhibitors of CypD reduced calcium-induced swelling in mitochondria from mouse and human liver tissues. Administration of these compounds to mice during ischemia/reperfusion restored hepatic calcium retention capacity and oxidative phosphorylation parameters and reduced liver damage. These compounds might be developed to protect patients from ischemia/reperfusion injury after liver surgery or for other hepatic or nonhepatic disorders related to abnormal mPTP opening.

This study employed dual-functional Cu(triNHC) (triNHC = tri-N-heterocyclic carbene) catalysts for the efficient coupling of CO2 with alcs. and amines to form various carbonates and carbamates with good yields. The direct synthesis of carbonates and carbamates from CO2 was realized by the Cu(triNHC)-catalyzed carboxylative cyclization of CO2 and propargyl alc. and subsequent reactions with an addnl. nucleophile (alcs. or amines). The free carbene dangled from the Cu(triNHC) catalysts deprotonated the propargyl alc. to increase the nucleophilicity toward CO2 and the subsequent cyclization was accelerated by the coordination of the copper ion of Cu(triNHC).

Diflunisal Analogues Stabilize the Native State of Transthyretin. Potent Inhibition of Amyloidogenesis was written by Adamski-Werner, Sara L.;Palaninathan, Satheesh K.;Sacchettini, James C.;Kelly, Jeffery W.. And the article was included in Journal of Medicinal Chemistry in 2004.Formula: C7H5BrF2O This article mentions the following:

Analogs of diflunisal, an FDA-approved nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID), were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of transthyretin (TTR) aggregation, including amyloid fibril formation. High inhibitory activity was observed for 26 of the compounds Of those, eight exhibited excellent binding selectivity for TTR in human plasma (binding stoichiometry >0.50, with a theor. maximum of 2.0 inhibitors bound per TTR tetramer). Biophys. studies reveal that these eight inhibitors dramatically slow tetramer dissociation (the rate-determining step of amyloidogenesis) over a duration of 168 h. This appears to be achieved through ground-state stabilization, which raises the kinetic barrier for tetramer dissociation Kinetic stabilization of WT TTR by these eight inhibitors is further substantiated by the decreasing rate of amyloid fibril formation as a function of increasing inhibitor concentration (pH 4.4). X-ray cocrystal structures of the TTR-3′,5′-difluorobiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid (I) and TTR-2′,6′-difluorobiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid (II) complexes reveal that I and II bind in opposite orientations in the TTR binding site. Moving the fluorines from the meta positions in I to the ortho positions in II reverses the binding orientation, allowing the hydrophilic aromatic ring of II to orient in the outer binding pocket where the carboxylate engages in favorable electrostatic interactions with the ε-ammonium groups of Lys 15 and 15′. The hydrophilic aryl ring of I occupies the inner binding pocket, with the carboxylate positioned to hydrogen bond to the serine 117 and 117′ residues. Diflunisal itself appears to occupy both orientations based on the electron d. in the TTR·12 structure. Structure-activity relationships reveal that para-carboxylate substitution on the hydrophilic ring and dihalogen substitution on the hydrophobic ring afford the most active TTR amyloid inhibitors.
