This study presents a novel approach in the realm of catalytic organic synthesis by integrating biomass catalytic conversion with organic synthesis techniques. UtilizingN-acetylglucosamine as the primary feedstock, the first phase of the research involves its catalytic transformation into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). The subsequent phase employs a condensation reaction between HMF and 3,3-Dimethyl-2-butanone to synthesize a new compound, (E)-1-(5-(hydroxymethyl) furan-2-yl)-4,4-dimethylpent-1-en-3-one. This two-step process not only demonstrates the feasibility of converting biomass into valuable chemical precursors but also exemplifies the synthesis of novel compounds through green chemistry principles. The successful execution of this methodology offers fresh insights and opens new avenues for advancements in catalytic organic synthesis, emphasizing sustainability and efficiency.

A facile and practical [3+2] cycloaddition/ring contraction for the construction of structurally diverse CF 2 H-containing spirocyclopropyloxindoles was developed. Starting from isatin-derived 3-ylideneoxindoles and in situ generated CF 2 HCHN 2 , the desired products were obtained in good to excellent results (up to 99% yield and >99:1 trans/cis ) in the absence of metal catalyst . The potential application of the protocol was also demonstrated by the synthesis of the CF 2 H-substituted analog of HIV-1 NNRTI inhibitor.

This study investigates the growth tolerance mechanisms ofChlorella pyrenoidosato 3-fluorophenol and its removal efficiency by algal cells. Our results indicate thatC. pyrenoidosacan tolerate up to 100 mg/L of 3-fluorophenol, exhibiting a significant hormesis effect characterized by initial inhibition followed by promotion of growth. InC. pyrenoidosacells, the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), as well as the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), were higher than or comparable to the control group. Metabolic analysis revealed that the 3-fluorophenol treatment activated pathways, such as glycerol phospholipid metabolism, autophagy, glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein biosynthesis, and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, contributed to the stabilization of cell membrane structures and enhanced cell repair capacity. After 240 h of treatment, over 50% of 3-fluorophenol was removed by algal cells, primarily through adsorption. Thus,C. pyrenoidosashows potential as an effective biosorbent for the bioremediation of 3-fluorophenol.

While biodegradation shows promise for removing 17β-estradiol-3-sulfate (E2–3S) from wastewater, its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. We systematically elucidated E2–3S biodegradation from both microbial community and individual strain perspectives by constructing microbial co-occurrence networks across diverse reaction environments and isolating degrading bacteria from activated sludge. The results showed that activated sludge achieved E2–3S removal greater than 90 %, though estrogenic activity reduction varied with reaction environments. Network analysis, connectivity and centrality analyses identified Pseudomonas species as the keystone taxon driving estrogenic activity reduction, supported by synergistic interactions with Azonexus , Dechloromonas and Obscuribacter species to maintain redox homeostasis and nutrient availability. We further isolated non-pathogenic Pseudomonas CE2S, which demonstrated exceptional E2–3S degradation (> 90 %) and estrogenic activity reduction (> 70 %) across concentration gradients. Two major degradation pathways were proposed for strain CE2S, including deconjugation, hydroxylation, and oxidative ring cleavage reactions, ultimately yielding low-estrogenic-activity products. To our knowledge, this work provides the first comprehensive mechanistic understanding of E2–3S biodegradation spanning community to strain levels, and reports the first isolation of an activated sludge bacterium capable of simultaneous E2–3S degradation and estrogenic activity reduction. These findings provide critical insights for understanding E2–3S biodegradation and developing bioaugmentation strategies for optimal E2–3S removal.

Sirtuin 3 involved in development of various diseases, but its role in inflammatory bowel disease is still unknown. We used inflammatory bowel disease biopsies, colitis animal model, and vitro cells RAW264.7 to study the role of Sirtuin 3 in the pathophysiology of inflammatory bowel disease. Sirtuin 3 negatively correlated with intestinal TNF-α. Sirt3 was less pronounced in pediatric and adult inflammatory bowel disease patients compared with corresponding control group. Sirtuin 3 activator Honokiol suppressed dextran sulfate sodium induced colonic manifestations, while Sirt3 inhibitor caused opposite results. Honokiol inhibited colonic oxidative stress by and reduced intestinal permeability. Honokiol repressed inflammatory response by reducing macrophage infiltration, pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels, and inhibiting activation of NF-κB p65 in the colitis mice. However, Sirt3 inhibitor amplified colonic oxidative stress and inflammatory response. In vitro study, Sirt3 inhibitor or siRNA Sirtuin 3 activated NF-κB p65 and enhanced TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 secretion from LPS stimulated RAW264.7, while Honokiol remarkably attenuated these pro-inflammatory cytokines secretion. Finally, knockdown of Sirt3 in Caco-2 cells enhanced TNF-α induced intestinal barrier integrity injury. Sirtuin 3 negatively regulates inflammatory bowel disease progression via reducing colonic inflammation and oxidative stress. Sirtuin 3 is a promising therapeutic target in clinical application for inflammatory bowel disease therapy.

The brain and gut are intricately connected and respond to various stimuli. Stress-induced brain-gut communication is implicated in the pathogenesis and relapse of gut disorders. The mechanism that relays psychological stress to the intestinal epithelium, resulting in maladaptation, remains poorly understood. Here, we describe a stress-responsive brain-to-gut metabolic axis that impairs intestinal stem cell (ISC) lineage commitment. Psychological stress-triggered sympathetic output enriches gut commensal Lactobacillus murinus, increasing the production of indole-3-acetate (IAA), which contributes to a transferrable loss of intestinal secretory cells. Bacterial IAA disrupts ISC mitochondrial bioenergetics and thereby prevents secretory lineage commitment in a cell-intrinsic manner. Oral α-ketoglutarate supplementation bolsters ISC differentiation and confers resilience to stress-triggered intestinal epithelial injury. We confirm that fecal IAA is higher in patients with mental distress and is correlated with gut dysfunction. These findings uncover a microbe-mediated brain-gut pathway that could be therapeutically targeted for stress-driven gut-brain comorbidities.

Self-powered poly (3-hexylthiophene)/zinc oxide (P3HT/ZnO) heterojunction ultraviolet photodetectors decorated by silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were fabricated by sol-gel and spin-coating techniques. The ultraviolet photoresponse performance of the P3HT/ZnO heterojunction photodetectors influenced by the position of plasmonic Ag NPs was investigated. The responsivity and detectivity of the P3HT/Ag/ZnO photodetector with placed Ag NPs at the interface of ZnO and P3HT layers enhanced to 1.92 and 1.15 times compared to the reference devices. When the Ag NPs embedded into ZnO layer , the responsivity, detectivity and external quantum efficiency were 16.42 mA/W, 5.97 × 10 11 Jones, and 5.36 %, respectively, which were 5.77 times, 4.64 times and 5.77 times to that of the pristine P3HT/ZnO photodetector. The enhancement mechanism of plasmonic metallic nanoparticles to the performance of the photodetectors was discussed in details. This study presents a simple route to high performance self-powered photodetectors.

Graphical The dehydration of 2,4-pentanediol to unsaturated alcohol was performed over ceria-based catalysts with high selectivity. A stereocatalytic effect of CeO 2 catalyst was observed for the production of trans -3-penten-2-ol, with negligible content of cis -3-penten-2-ol. The transformation of biobased alkanediols over heterogeneous catalysts is a major object. Here, a series of catalysts were prepared for 2,4-pentanediol dehydration to 3-penten-2-ol. Ceria-based catalysts had a unique property of showing high efficiency. More importantly, a stereocatalytic effect was observed for CeO 2 , yielding trans -3-penten-2-ol with a high selectivity. Raman, XPS, TPD, and TPR were carried out to clarify the catalyst structure, and the relationship between the catalyst structure and catalytic performance were studied. The amount of Lewis acid sites can hardly be correlated with the total concentrations of the oxygen vacancies. It was suggested that the geometry structure of the active sites played a crucial role in trans -3-penten-2-ol production. The oxygen vacancies originating from CeO 2 consisted of active sites with a geometrical structure, which were different from those created by Pr doping CeO 2 . In addition, the Pr doping enhanced the oxygen migration, which resulted in side reactions, consequently, giving a lower selectivity to trans -3-penten-2-ol.

3(5)-Nitropyrazole is obtained by rearrangement of 1-nitropyrazole in high boiling organic solvents. In this paper, the solubility of 3(5)-nitropyrazole in 12 high boiling solvents (anisole, benzonitrile, mesitylene, o-dichlorobenzene, 1-octanol, benzyl alcohol, 2-ethylhexyl acetate, dimethyl glutarate, cyclohexanone, N,N-dimethylformamide, N-methylformamide, and isophorone) was determined using the static gravimetric method over the temperature range of 283.15–323.15 K. The experimental results revealed that the solubility of 3(5)-nitropyrazole exhibited a positive correlation with temperature. Under ambient conditions at 298.15 K, the solubility decreased in the following order: N,N-dimethylformamide (37.705 × 10–2), N-methylformamide (20.131 × 10–2), cyclohexanone (13.469 × 10–2), isophorone (11.957 × 10–2), dimethyl glutarate (6.667 × 10–2), benzyl alcohol (3.909 × 10–2), benzonitrile (2.915 × 10–2), 1-octanol (1.916 × 10–2), 2-ethylhexyl acetate (1.220 × 10–2), o-dichlorobenzene (0.666 × 10–2), anisole (0.688 × 10–2), and mesitylene (0.246 × 10–2). The solubility of 3(5)-nitropyrazole was fitted using the Apelblat equation, λh equation, NRTL model, and van’t Hoff model. The fitting results were evaluated using average relative deviation and RMSD. The NRTL model exhibited the best overall performance. The use of Hansen solubility parameters for solubility prediction and analysis has certain limitations.

A series of Pd/N-doped graphene catalysts were designed for the efficient and highly selective synthesis of muscone through the hydrogenation of 3-methylcyclopentadecenone (XT). The catalysts were characterized using FT-IR, BET, XPS, XRD, Raman and SEM–EDS. All results indicated the uniform dispersion of Pd on NG. By optimizing reaction conditions, the hydrogenation of XT achieved a high yield and selectivity of muscone, producing a 99% yield at 2 MPa H 2 and 90 °C in 10 h using a 10 wt% Pd/N-doped graphene catalyst functionalized with melamine (Pd/NmG), which significantly outperformed conventional Pd/C catalysts.

The rapid increase in the commercialization of electric vehicles and portable electronics has markedly raised the demand for lithium resources. Extracting lithium from brine has become a critical pathway to address future lithium production challenges. However, the lithium extraction efficiency of conventional technologies is limited by the low levels of Li + and the high Mg 2+ /Li + ratio present in brine. A method involving one-step electrolysis with a solid-state electrolyte has been introduced for the direct and efficient extraction of metallic lithium. Li 1.3 Al 0.3 Ti 1.7 (PO 4 ) 3 (LATP) is considered a highly promising selective membrane for large-scale lithium extraction from brine sources due to its low cost, excellent stability, and high ionic conductivity. Herein, LATP electrolytes were synthesized through the optimization of solid-state reaction conditions. The resulting LATP pellets exhibited a high relative density of 98.29 % and an impressive ionic conductivity of 3.88 × 10 −4 S cm −1 . The lithium extraction device utilizing LATP as a selective membrane achieved a remarkable current efficiency of 97.4 % and a high lithium production rate of 40.4 μg h −1 cm −2 . After lithium extraction process, the LATP pellets retained the ionic conductivity of 2.69 × 10 −4 S cm −1 and preserved the sodium super ion conductors (NASICON) crystal structure. This study presents an efficient Li + selective membrane for extracting lithium directly from natural brine.

Tanshinone is widely used for treatment of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases with increasing demand. Herein, key enzyme genes SmHMGR (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase) and SmDXR (1-deoxy- d -xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase) involved in the tanshinone biosynthetic pathway were introduced into Salvia miltiorrhiza ( Sm ) hairy roots to enhance tanshinone production. Over-expression of SmHMGR or SmDXR in hairy root lines can significantly enhance the yield of tanshinone. Transgenic hairy root lines co-expressing HMGR and DXR (HD lines) produced evidently higher levels of total tanshinone (TT) compared with the control and single gene transformed lines. The highest tanshinone production was observed in HD42 with the concentration of 3.25 mg g −1 DW. Furthermore, the transgenic hairy roots showed higher antioxidant activity than control. In addition, transgenic hairy root harboring HMGR and DXR (HD42) exhibited higher tanshinone content after elicitation by yeast extract and/or Ag + than before. Tanshinone can be significantly enhanced to 5.858, 6.716, and 4.426 mg g −1 DW by YE, Ag + , and YE-Ag + treatment compared with non-induced HD42, respectively. The content of cryptotanshinone and dihydrotanshinone was effectively elevated upon elicitor treatments, whereas there was no obvious promotion effect for the other two compounds tanshinone I and tanshinone IIA. Our results provide a useful strategy to improve tanshinone content as well as other natural active products by combination of genetic engineering with elicitors.
