Simple elaboration of drug-SPION nanocapsules (hybridosomes®) by solvent shifting: Effect of the drug molecular structure and concentration.

Drug nanocapsules coated with iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) were elaborated by the simultaneous nanoprecipitation of the drug and the nanoparticles, through solvent shifting. We examined four drugs: sorafenib, sorafenib tosylate, α-tocopherol and paclitaxel, to cover the cases of molecular solids, ionic solids, and molecular liquids. We first investigated the formation of the drug core in the final mixture of solvents at different concentrations.

From ferrocene to decasubstituted enantiopure ferrocene-1,1'-disulfoxide derivatives.

The functionalization of (,)-,'-di--butylferrocene-1,1'-disulfoxide by deprotolithiation-electrophilic trapping sequences was studied towards polysubstituted, enantiopure derivatives for which the properties were determined. While the 2,2'-disubstituted ferrocene derivatives were obtained as expected, subsequent functionalization of the 2,2'-di(phenylthio) and 2,2'-bis(trimethylsilyl) derivatives occurred primarily at the 4- or 4,4'-positions. This unusual regioselectivity was discussed in detail in light of p values and structural data.

Modulates PYY Expression in a New a Multicellular Model including Enteroendocrine Cells.

The gut microbiota contributes to human health and disease; however, the mechanisms by which commensal bacteria interact with the host are still unclear. To date, a number of in vitro systems have been designed to investigate the host-microbe interactions. In most of the intestinal models, the enteroendocrine cells, considered as a potential link between gut bacteria and several human diseases, were missing.

Iridium-Catalyzed Direct Reductive Amination of Ketones and Secondary Amines: Breaking the Aliphatic Wall.

Invited for the cover of this issue are Matthieu Jouffroy from Discovery Process Research at Janssen Pharmaceutica N.V. and the group of Rafael Gramage-Doria at the University of Rennes.

Iridium-Catalyzed Direct Reductive Amination of Ketones and Secondary Amines: Breaking the Aliphatic Wall.

Direct reductive amination (DRA) is a ubiquitous reaction in organic chemistry. This transformation between a carbonyl group and an amine is most often achieved by using a super stoichiometric amount of hazardous hydride reagents, thus being incompatible with many sensitive functional groups. DRA could also be achieved by means of chemo- or biocatalysis, thereby attracting the interest of industry as well as academic laboratories due to the virtually perfect atom economy.

Enantiopure ferrocene-1,2-disulfoxides: synthesis and reactivity.

The rational use of directed deprotometallation, sulfur oxidation and sulfoxide/lithium exchange allowed the synthesis of enantiopure ferrocene-1,2-disulfoxide derivatives. Not only do they represent the first members of this original family, but some of them have shown promise as ligands in rhodium-catalysed conjugate addition.

Polar lipid composition of bioactive dairy co-products buttermilk and butterserum: Emphasis on sphingolipid and ceramide isoforms.

Bioactive lipids of the milk fat globule membrane become concentrated in two co-products of the butter industry, buttermilk and butterserum. Their lipid composition is detailed here with special emphasis on sphingolipid composition of nutritional interest, determined using GC, HPLC and tandem mass spectrometry. Butterserum was 2.

Butter serums and buttermilks as sources of bioactive lipids from the milk fat globule membrane: Differences in their lipid composition and potentialities of cow diet to increase n-3 PUFA.

Improving the nutritional and health properties of food products, e.g. infant milk formula, by the addition of functional ingredients is of primary importance.

Lipid droplets coated with milk fat globule membrane fragments: Microstructure and functional properties as a function of pH.

Processed lipid droplets coated by milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) material are of primary interest to mimic the specific functions provided by the fat globules in milk and dairy products. The objectives were to investigate, as a function of pH, the properties and microstructure of MFGM-coated lipid droplets prepared with an ingredient rich in MFGM containing polar lipids and proteins. The samples were prepared in water and in milk ultrafiltrate.
