As a gasotransmitter, carbon monoxide could induce the tumor cells apoptosis by reversing the Warburg effect. The carbon monoxide-releasing molecules (CORMs) is a pleading option for CO administration, but how to deliver the threshold concentration of CO into tumor tissue remains a challenge. A series of novel targeted carbon monoxide release molecules (CORMs), combining glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) derivatives

High UV shielding and mechanical properties of shellac composite film for fruit packaging. New J. Chem. (IF 3.3) Pub Date : 2024-03-11 Lingsu Zhang, Deyan Du, Weifu Dong, Tatsuo Kaneko, Hongji Zhang, Mingqing Chen, Dongjian Shi
Shellac, a natural degradable material, has been applied as a carrier to load some functional and active compounds in the packing fields, but rarely directly used as a substrate to prepare the packing films, due to its unsatisfied solubility and mechanical properties. In this research, ammonia was used as a solvent to dissolve shellac and then a smooth and tough shellac film could be formed via interaction

Lewis Acid-mediated Modular Route to the Synthesis of 3-Substituted Quinolines from 2-Aminobenzyl alcohols and Enamine(one)s New J. Chem. (IF 3.3) Pub Date : 2024-03-11 Aritra Ghosh, Samridhi Upadhyay, Dipak J Dahatonde, Ruchir Kant, Sanjay Batra
A Lewis acid-mediated synthesis of 3-substituted quinolines from readily available 2-aminobenzyl alcohols and N, N'-dimethylenamine(one)s is reported. The Friedlander-type reaction described herein is modular and allows the installation of a variety of electron-withdrawing groups (COPh, CN, CO2Me, NO2, SO2Ph) at the 3-position of the quinoline nucleus to afford the final products in moderate to good
