Iron-catalyzed iodonium ion promoted activation of conventional thioglycosides for stereoselective 1,2- furanosylations.

Iron-catalyzed activation of conventional thioglycosides using the iodonium ion enabled the selective synthesis of 1,2- furanosides. This strategy accommodates diverse furanosyl donors (D-ribose, D-arabinose, L-arabinose) and various -nucleophiles (1°, 2°, 3°). Additionally, 1,2- hexaribofuranoside was synthesized, and the influence of the C2 functional group on selectivity was investigated.

Fe(OTf)3 or Photosensitizer-free blue light activated diazo-thioglycoside donors for Iterative and stereoselective glycosylations.

Conventional methods for thioglycoside activation often rely on precious and toxic platinum group metals. Here, we report a catalytic glycosylation strategy employing diazo-thioglycoside donors activated by earth-abundant iron or photosensitizer-free blue light conditions. It confers orthogonal reactivity relative to most glycosyl donors, including widely used thioglycosides and alkyne-based donors, thereby enabling one-pot orthogonal synthesis of glycans.

In a previous study, we reported that an extract of T. cordifolia (TCE) possessed antioxidant and anti-apoptotic properties that improved mitochondrial function against rotenone-induced neurotoxicity.

Role of Image-Guided Biopsy in Nonpalpable Breast Lesions: A Study in the Sub-Himalayan Region of North India.

Background: Nonpalpable breast lesions pose a challenge in their early diagnosis. Image-guided biopsy is preferred in these cases so that a pathological diagnosis of breast carcinoma is reached timely for a better prognosis as the disease has an increased chance of successful outcome with early identification and treatment.

Objective: The study aims at evaluating the role of stereotactic core needle biopsy (CNB) and percutaneous ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy (US-CNB) in diagnosing suspicious nonpalpable breast lesions.

Analysis of the TiO Photoanode Process Using Intensity Modulated Photocurrent Spectroscopy and Distribution of Relaxation Times.

Photoelectrochemical water splitting offers a promising pathway for green hydrogen production, but its efficiency is limited by electron-hole recombination. Overcoming this challenge requires detailed analysis of the relationship between charge separation and charge transfer kinetics under operando conditions. Here, we applied intensity-modulated photocurrent spectroscopy (IMPS) combined with distribution of relaxation times (DRT) analysis to the photoanodic process under varying light intensities.

Correlations of Anthropometric Measurements With Body Fat Percentage, Fat Mass, and Fat Mass Index in School-Age Children.

Background: Childhood obesity is a growing public health issue globally, including in India. Anthropometric measures such as body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and skinfold thickness are commonly used to estimate body fat percentage (BF%), but their correlations with fat mass (FM) and fat mass index (FMI) are less emphasized. This study aimed to explore the relationships between anthropometric measurements and body fat indicators (BF%, FM, and FMI) in school-age children and obtain prediction equations for FM and FMI.

Catalytic Thioglycoside Activation with Diazo-Derived Copper Carbenes.

Traditional glycosylation methods using thioglycosides often require harsh conditions or expensive metal catalysts. This study presents a more sustainable alternative by employing copper, an earth-abundant catalyst. We developed diazo-based thioglycoside donors that, through copper catalysis, undergo intramolecular activation to form glycosyl sulfonium ions, leading to the generation of oxocarbenium ions.

Tracking trash to treasure: monitoring of single microbial cell oil biosynthesis from waste cooking oil using Raman spectroscopy and imaging.

Waste cooking oil is a major pollutant that contaminates terrestrial and aquatic bodies which is generated from household kitchens and eateries. The bioremediation of waste cooking oil (WCO) into microbial oil, also known as single microbial cell oil (SMCO), can be accomplished by oleaginous microbes. Conventional methods excel in SMCO analysis but lack efficacy for or lysis-free monitoring of nascent SMCO synthesis and turnover.

Anti-filarial efficacy of : unravelling the underlying mechanisms through biochemical, HRAMS proteomics and MD simulation approaches.

Traditionally, (CA) has been reported to be a potent anti-filarial, however no reports are available detailing its mechanism of action against filarial parasites. In this study, we have evaluated the anti-filarial activity of CA against lymphatic filarial parasites using biochemical, proteomics and approaches. The motility and viability of the parasites decreased significantly after treatment with CA concentrations of ≥125 μg mL.

Sensing the Bactericidal and Bacteriostatic Antimicrobial Mode of Action Using Raman Deuterium Stable Isotope Probing (DSIP) in .

The mode of action of antibiotics can be broadly classified as bacteriostatic and bactericidal. The bacteriostatic mode leads to the arrested growth of the cells, while the bacteriocidal mode causes cell death. In this work, we report the applicability of deuterium stable isotope probing (DSIP) in combination with Raman spectroscopy (Raman DSIP) for discriminating the mode of action of antibiotics at the community level.

Synthesized Gold Nanoparticles with Moringa Oleifera leaf Extract Induce Mitotic Arrest (G2/M phase) and Apoptosis in Dalton's Lymphoma Cells.

The therapeutic potential of chemically synthesized AuNPs has been demonstrated in various types of cancer. However, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) synthesized using typical chemical methods have concerns regarding their environmental safety and adverse impact on human well-being. To overcome this issue, we used an environmentally friendly approach in which gold nanoparticles were synthesized using Moringa oleifera leaf extract (MLE).

PdBi intermetallic particles prepared by the photodeposition method for photocatalytic ethane production from methane.

A PdBi intermetallic compound (IMC) was photocatalytically deposited onto the gallium oxide (GaO) surface at room temperature. Conventional impregnation and reduction methods were difficult for the formation of the PdBi IMC on GaO, highlighting the importance of the photodeposition approach. The PdBi-loaded GaO photocatalyst exhibited 84% selectivity in methane-to-ethane conversion with hydrogen production in the presence of water vapour.

Dermorphin [D-Arg2, Lys4] (1-4) Amide Alleviates Frostbite-Induced Pain by Regulating TRP Channel-Mediated Microglial Activation and Neuroinflammation.

Cold injury or frostbite is a common medical condition that causes serious clinical complications including sensory abnormalities and chronic pain ultimately affecting overall well-being. Opioids are the first-choice drug for the treatment of frostbite-induced chronic pain; however, their notable side effects, including sedation, motor incoordination, respiratory depression, and drug addiction, present substantial obstacle to their clinical utility. To address this challenge, we have exploited peripheral mu-opioid receptors as potential target for the treatment of frostbite-induced chronic pain.

Biodegradation of furfuryl alcohol by indigenous Bacillus species of industrial effluent-contaminated sites: estimation, biokinetics and toxicity assessment of bio-transformed metabolites.

Furfuryl alcohol (FA) and other furanic compounds have garnered considerable attention in the quest for sustainable alternatives. FA-based resins have been used in various sectors that entail the release of FA into the environment. Hence, to ensure sustainability in this scenario, devising a dependable approach to its degradation is imperative.
