We report the design, synthesis, structure, bonding, and reaction of a neutral 2π aromatic three-membered disilaborirane. The disilaborirane is synthesized by a facile one-pot reductive dehalogenation of amidinato-silylene chloride and dibromoarylborane with potassium graphite. Despite the tetravalent arrangement of atoms around silicon, the three-membered silicon-boron-silicon ring is aromatic, as evidenced by NMR spectroscopy, nucleus independent chemical shift calculations, first-principles electronic structure studies using density functional theory (DFT) and natural bond orbital (NBO) based bonding analysis. Trimethylsilylnitrene, generated in situ, inserts in the Si-Si bond of disilaborirane to obtain a four-membered heterocycle 1-aza-2,3-disila-4-boretidine derivative. Both the heterocycles are fully characterized by X-ray crystallography.

Lasso peptides, a unique class of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide (RiPP), are challenging to synthesize chemically, making the discovery of new peptides and their biosynthetic pathways essential. This study reports the discovery and characterization of a novel lasso peptide, actinosynnelassin, from subsp. DSM 44131.

Oxidase-mimicking nanozymes with specificity for catalyzing oxidation of aromatic amines are of great significance for recognition of aromatic amines but rarely reported. Herein, Cu-A nanozyme (synthesized with Cu as a node and adenine as a linker) could specifically catalyze oxidation of -phenylenediamine (OPD) in Britton-Robinson buffer solution. Such a specific catalytic performance was also corroborated with other aromatic amines, such as -phenylenediamine (PPD), 1,5-naphthalene diamine (1,5-NDA), 1,8-naphthalene diamine (1,8-NDA), and 2-aminoanthracene (2-AA).

This research aims to investigate the effects of 2-aminoanthracene (2-AA), a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), on the liver. PAH is a by-product of the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels. Specifically, the impact of 2-AA on different body tissues in animals has been reported.

In this research report, an in house developed octadecyl monolithic (ODM) column has been exploited in the reversed-phase capillary electrochromatography (RP-CEC) of precolumn derivatized mono- and oligosaccharides with three different tagging agents, namely 1-naphthylamine (1-NA), 2-aminoanthracene (2-AA) and 3-amino-2,7-naphthalenedisulfonic acid (ANDSA). These three derivatizing agents, which differed in their charges, nonpolar characters and optical absorption properties, led to different RP-CEC elution patterns and UV detection signals. In fact, the limit of detection of the derivatized sugars were 50 µM for the ANDSA- and 1-NA-sugar derivatives and 35 µM for the 2-AA-sugar derivatives due to the presence of three fused aromatic rings in 2-AA versus 2 fused rings in the 1-NA and ANDSA tags.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disorder caused by the destruction of insulin-secreting β-cells.T1D is on the rise around the world. Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) including 2-aminoanthracene (2AA) is considered a contributor to TID increase.
