A method for the rapid synthesis of polycyclic 3,3'-biindole derivatives has been developed through AgOTf-catalyzed nucleophilic addition and cycloisomerization processes. The cascade reaction employs readily accessible indoles and their -2-formylphenyl derivatives and provides functionalized polycyclic 3,3'-biindoles in moderate to good yields under mild conditions. This reaction is highly efficient and takes only several minutes (∼5 min). Notably, the method is also highlighted by a Selectfluor-mediated oxidation reaction that quickly generates the oxindole derivatives.

The aim of the present review is to provide a systematic survey on the recent advancements in the chemical synthesis of thiochromones, thiochromanones, the less explored thiochromene-4-thiones and some analogs. These compounds are used as versatile building blocks in the synthesis of other complex and polycyclic heterocyclic analogs. Highlights on biological and photophysical properties of these thio derivatives are also included and discussed.

The mechanism underlying the effects of Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on missed abortion (MA) remains unclear. This study explored the relationship between PAHs exposure, telomere length (TL), metabolizing enzyme gene polymorphism, and MA in a case-control study with 253 pregnant women. A competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to quantify PAH-DNA adducts.

Herein, we report the first asymmetric synthesis of cycloartobiloxanthone, a polycyclic dihydroxanthone natural product. Our convergent synthesis employs a rhodium-catalyzed C-H insertion reaction to construct the key fused tricyclic core with high enantioselectivity. Two fragments were joined together by a displacement reaction and a Friedel-Crafts acylation to generate the dihydroxanthone core.

Marine ecosystems are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic pollutants, including plastics, persistent organic pollutants, heavy metals, oil, and emerging contaminants. This meta-analysis examined the accumulation patterns of five major contaminants-mercury (Hg), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), microplastics, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)-in relation to trophic level and lifespan across marine species. Data synthesis revealed distinct differences in bioaccumulation and biomagnification between legacy and emerging contaminants.

The behavior of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) released from tire road wear particles (TRWPs) in human digestive fluids may pose a significant risk to human health. However, the current understanding of the release pattern and influencing factors of PAHs from TRWPs is still insufficient. In this study, the release characteristics of PAHs from UV-aging TRWPs (ATRWPs) were systematically investigated by in vitro digestive simulation experiments, release kinetic model fitting and control variable experiments.
