A spherical amide with symmetry was synthesized by a one-step cyclization reaction using triphenylphosphine and hexachloroethane as coupling reagents. This method enabled synthesis of -benzyl and -allyl derivatives, which could not be obtained by the previously reported method. The optical resolution of each compound was measured, and their electronic circular dichroism spectra revealed that they were mirror images. The high structural symmetry resulted in a higher Δε (molar absorption difference against right or left circular polarization: - value compared to that of another structural isomer synthesized previously. The absolute structure of the enantiopure crystal of the -benzyl derivative was determined using the Flack parameter obtained by X-ray crystallographic analysis.

To develop and characterize a chemically modified chitosan-benzoic acid (CS-BA) nanogel for enhanced encapsulation, stability, and controlled release of essential oils with improved antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, the CS-BA nanogel was synthesized via carbodiimide-mediated coupling (EDC) of chitosan with benzoic acid. The nanogel was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for morphology and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for chemical bonding analysis. The encapsulation efficiency of essential oils-Pinus roxburghii (PREO), Pinus wallichiana (PWEO), Cedrus deodara (CDEO), Thuja orientalis (TOEO), Cymbopogon citratus (CCEO), Cymbopogon khasianus (CKEO), and Mentha arvensis (MAEO) was evaluated, and in vitro release studies were conducted over 36 h.

Numerous studies on specific cannabis compounds (cannabinoids and phenolic acids) have demonstrated their therapeutic potential, with their administration methods remaining a key research focus. Transdermal drug delivery (TDD) systems are gaining attention due to their advantages, such as painless administration, controlled release, direct absorption into the bloodstream, and its ability to bypass hepatic metabolism. The thin films obtained via pulsed laser deposition consist of micro- and nanoparticles capable of migrating through skin pores upon contact.

The present study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic benefits of a hybrid material based on gold nanoparticles and natural extracts on an experimental model of thioacetamide-induced (TAA) liver injury in rats. The nanomaterials were synthesized using a green method, with L. extract as a reducing and capping agent (NPCS), and were then mixed with L.

New formulation of diflubenzuron, was carried out through a simple and green route using polyethylene glycol (PEG). The insecticidal efficacy of PEG nano-capsules loaded with diflubenzuron (DFB) pesticide was evaluated against Helicoverpa armigera (Heb). The loaded nanoparticles had the spherical-shape and an average size of 80 ± 20 nm.

Background: Testicular organoids (TOs) have generated great interest in reproductive biology as a reliable experimental tissue model for pharmaco-toxicology studies and therapeutic applications. However, current TOs mostly fail to recapitulate the native testicular architecture and function, likely due to an imbalance between the spermatogonia and functional niche cells. TGF-β signaling pathway is a critical regulator of testis development that can be harnessed to regulate the testicular cells' behavior.
