AB  - Serotonin receptors modulate numerous behavioral and neuropsychological processes. Therefore, they are the target for the action of many drugs, such as antipsychotics, antidepressants, antiemetics, migraine remedies, and many others. The 5-HT1A receptors have been involved in the pathogenesis and treatment of anxiety and depression and represent a promising target for new drugs with reduced extrapyramidal side effects. In most antidepressants, a piperazine-based structural motif can be identified as a common moiety. Here we describe the synthesis, pharmacological, and in silico characterization of a novel arylpiperazines series with excellent 5-HT1A affinity. The final compounds, 4a, 8a, and 8b, were selected according to predictions of in silico pharmacokinetics, docking analysis, and molecular dynamics in conjunction with physical properties, and metabolic stability. The accentuated molecules could serve as a lead compound for developing 5-HT1A drug-like molecules for depression treatment.

AB  - We present the green, highly atom-economical, solid-state silica gel-catalyzed synthesis of polysubstituted 1,4- and 1,2-dihydropyridines (DHPs) from commercially available materials, amines and ethyl propiolate. The DHP skeleton was assembled by heating the reactants and silica gel in a closed vessel. Aliphatic amines provided 1,4-isomers as the main or only DHP products, but the reactions of aromatic amines yielded a mixture of 1,4- and 1,2-isomers. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of the formation of a 1,2-DHP structure by the reaction of an amine with propiolic ester. Addition of 1 mass percent of H2SO4 to silica gel shifted the product distribution to 1,4-DHP as the main or the only isomer obtained. Experimental and theoretical analyses led to the identification of two key intermediates en route to DHPs and the explanation of the observed regioisomeric ratios. 1,2-DHPs show blue-cyan fluorescence in MeOH with the quantum yield Φ = 0.10–0.22 relative to quinine sulfate Φ = 0.58 and 1,4-DHPs show blue-violet fluorescence with Φ = 0.09–0.81.

AB  - In search for antitumor metal-based drugs that would mitigate the severe side-effects of cisplatin, Ru(II) complexes
are gaining increasing recent interest. Their cytotoxic effect is widely known, however mechanism of
action, solution behavior, redox reactions within biological system are still focus of the new studies. Various
experiments and approach techniques are used to better understand ruthenium chemistry. In this order their
biological activity and the availability of reduction potential in the biological medium, it is necessary to know
their electrochemical redox behavior and properties. In this work, we report the electrochemical activity on
synthesized and characterized (1H- and 13C NMR, FT-IR, MS) half-sandwich organometallic Ru(II) complexes of
the general formula [Ru(η6-arene)(XY)Cl](PF6) where arene = benzene, toluene or p-cymene and XY = bidentates:
dipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c]phenazine (dppz derivatives) or 2-(9-anthryl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline
(aip), which are bound to Ru(II) via two phenanthroline-N atoms in a characteristic “piano-stool”
configuration of Ru(II)-arene complexes – as confirmed by vibrational and NMR spectra. It is shown that selected
complexes can be divided in four groups, based on their electrochemical behavior. These behaviors are correlated
with their structure and nature of ligands.

AB  - Environmental contextMitigating the environmental fallout of industrial accidents is crucial. In a recent study, researchers conducted tests on model substrates to explore the effectiveness of bioremediation in treating complex refinery contaminants resulting from both accidental and deliberate facility damage. The research reveals that bioremediation can be a promising, eco-friendly solution for cleaning up such pollutants, aligning with broader efforts to combat environmental harm resulting from industrial incidents.RationaleBioremediation harnesses microorganisms’ diverse metabolic abilities to detoxify and eliminate pollutants, particularly hydrocarbon-based ones such as oil. This natural biodegradation process performed by microorganisms is a cost-effective method for environmental cleanup compared to other remediation technologies.MethodologyIn this study, we examined the fate of heavy metals, cobalt and molybdenum, by the analysis of the basic chemical parameters of other sample components, such as n-hexane extractable substances and total petroleum hydrocarbons. The metal content was determined using inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Exchangeable (loosely bound to the surface of particles and due to its high mobility and availability is crucial for understanding the potential immediate impact of metal contamination) and more stable fractions of the metal and the metal forms were determined using a sequential extraction method. The phase composition of the samples was determined by X-ray diffraction.ResultsIn our microbiological analysis, we isolated various cultures from a consortium of microorganisms. Basic chemical analysis indicators, such as n-hexane extractable substances, total petroleum hydrocarbons and humic acids, reflected robust microbiological activity. During the study, metals in exchangeable form decreased and those in more stable forms increased.DiscussionThe sequential extraction of cobalt and molybdenum revealed shifts in various metal fractions within the bioaugmented substrate post-bioremediation, differing from the initial substrate. These alterations in metal fractions are likely attributable to microbial actions, leading to the formation of more stable metal fractions throughout the bioremediation process.

AB  - As a functional extraction medium, natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) can dissolve various plant metabolites. Those solvents provide untapped potential for creating novel green extracts with distinctive phytochemical signatures and unique biological activities. This is particularly relevant given the rising need for eco-friendly and sustainable skin care products. The main aim of this work was to optimize the most efficient natural deep eutectic solvents (NADESs) for extracting bioactives from 18 medicinal herbs applicable to the cosmetic industry. Selection of the most potent herbs involved assessing their conventional extracts for tyrosinase inhibition, antioxidant activity, and keratinocyte cytotoxicity. Moreover, we analyzed the phenolic profile using ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (UHPLC/MS) and spectrophotometric assays such as total phenolic (TPC) and flavonoid content (TFC). Using the COSMO-RS method, we modeled the solubility of 12 phenolics in 64 virtual NADESs and selected the 7 most promising ones for further experimental validation. NADESs, including betaine-urea, betaine-proline, and betaine-lysine, were computationally chosen and demonstrated the highest levels of TPC and antioxidative capacity, as confirmed by in vitro assays. The proposed combination of NADES herbal extracts represents a promising natural constituent for the cosmetic industry.

AB  - Three oxorhenium(V) complexes [ReOLCl2(PPh3)] (C1–C3) were synthesized in the reaction of 2,3-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (HL1), 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (HL2), and 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (HL3) with [ReOCl3(PPh3)2]. Chemical structures of synthesized compounds were confirmed using standard analytical techniques. The most stable geometry of complexes was proposed using density functional theory calculations. The antiproliferative activity of the synthesized complexes was evaluated in a panel of human tumor cell lines (A549, PANC-1, OVCAR-3, and MDA-MB-231) and in one nontumor cell line (MRC-5), in comparison with the activity of cisplatin as a reference drug. The complex C3 exhibited the highest antiproliferative potential in PANC-1 cells, with IC50 48.73 ± 0.31 μM. Our previous research of oxorhenium(V) complexes suggested the involvement of drug-efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (Pgp) in the detoxification of rhenium complexes in pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells. In the present study, the effect of verapamil hydrochloride, the specific pharmacological blocker of Pgp, was tested in combination with novel rhenium complexes C1–C3 or cisplatin (CDDP), in PANC-1 cells. The verapamil enhanced the antiproliferative activity of complex C3, indicating again the role of Pgp in detoxification of oxorhenium(V) complexes in highly invasive and resistant PANC-1 cells.

abstract = "Three oxorhenium(V) complexes [ReOLCl2(PPh3)] (C1–C3) were synthesized in the reaction of 2,3-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (HL1), 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (HL2), and 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (HL3) with [ReOCl3(PPh3)2]. Chemical structures of synthesized compounds were confirmed using standard analytical techniques. The most stable geometry of complexes was proposed using density functional theory calculations. The antiproliferative activity of the synthesized complexes was evaluated in a panel of human tumor cell lines (A549, PANC-1, OVCAR-3, and MDA-MB-231) and in one nontumor cell line (MRC-5), in comparison with the activity of cisplatin as a reference drug. The complex C3 exhibited the highest antiproliferative potential in PANC-1 cells, with IC50 48.73 ± 0.31 μM. Our previous research of oxorhenium(V) complexes suggested the involvement of drug-efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (Pgp) in the detoxification of rhenium complexes in pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells. In the present study, the effect of verapamil hydrochloride, the specific pharmacological blocker of Pgp, was tested in combination with novel rhenium complexes C1–C3 or cisplatin (CDDP), in PANC-1 cells. The verapamil enhanced the antiproliferative activity of complex C3, indicating again the role of Pgp in detoxification of oxorhenium(V) complexes in highly invasive and resistant PANC-1 cells.",

AB  - The red macroalgae Porphyra, commonly known as Nori, is widely used as food around the world due to its high nutrient content, including the significant abundance of colored phycobiliproteins (PBPs). Among these, R-phycocyanin (R-PC) stands out for its vibrant purple color and numerous bioactive properties, making it a valuable protein for the food industry. However, R-PC's limited thermal stability necessitates alternative processing methods to preserve its color and bioactive properties. Our study aimed to investigate the in-situ stability of oligomeric R-PC under high pressure (HP) conditions (up to 4000 bar) using a combination of absorption, fluorescence, and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) techniques. The unfolding of R-PC is a multiphase process. Initially, low pressure induces conformational changes in the R-PC oligomeric form (trimers). As pressure increases above 1600 bar, these trimers dissociate into monomers, and at pressures above 3000 bar, the subunits begin to unfold. When returned to atmospheric pressure, R-PC partially refolds, retaining 50% of its original color absorbance. In contrast, heat treatment causes irreversible and detrimental effects on R-PC color, highlighting the advantages of HP treatment in preserving both the color and bioactive properties of R-PC compared to heat treatment.

AB  - In this in silico study, it was investigated whether phycobilins
(phycocyanobilin, phycoerythrobilin and phycourobilin) could be inhibitors of
the activity of the main proteins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. All chromophores
exhibited a binding energy value of ≥–37 kJ mol-1 for PLpro-WT, PLpro-
-C111S, helicase-ANP binding site, Nsp3-macrodomain, Nsp3-MES site and
Nsp10/14-N7-Mtase. Phycocyanobilin showed the highest binding energy of
–44.77 kJ mol-1 against the target protein PLpro-C111S. It was found that,
apart from the hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions, phycobilins also
form electrostatic interactions with the SARS-CoV-2 proteins. The network of
non-covalent interactions was found to be important for the stability of the
examined virus proteins. All phycobilins have good pharmacokinetic and drug-
-likeness properties. This study’s results suggest that the screened phycobilins
could serve as promising drugs for the treatment of COVID-19 with further
rigorous validation studies.

AB  - Background: Epilepsy is a chronic brain disease affecting millions of people worldwide,
but little is known about the impact of anti-seizure medications on redox homeostasis. Methods:
This study aimed to compare the effects of the long-term use of oral anti-seizure medications in
monotherapy (lamotrigine, carbamazepine, and valproate) on antioxidant enzymes: superoxide dismutase,
catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, haemoglobin, and methaemoglobin
content in erythrocytes, and concentrations of total proteins and thiols, nitrites, lipid peroxides and
total glutathione in the plasma of epilepsy patients and drug-naïve patients. Results: The results
showed that lamotrigine therapy led to lower superoxide dismutase activity (p < 0.005) and lower
concentrations of total thiols (p < 0.01) and lipid peroxides (p < 0.01) compared to controls. On the
other hand, therapy with carbamazepine increased nitrite levels (p < 0.01) but reduced superoxide
dismutase activity (p < 0.005). In the valproate group, only a decrease in catalase activity was observed
(p < 0.005). Canonical discriminant analysis showed that the composition of antioxidant enzymes in
erythrocytes was different for both the lamotrigine and carbamazepine groups, while the controls
were separated from all others. Conclusions: Monotherapy with anti-seizure medications discretely
alters redox homeostasis, followed by distinct relationships between antioxidant components.

AB  - The plant-derived α-linolenic acid (ALA) is an essential n-3 acid highly susceptible to
oxidation, present in oils of flaxseeds, walnuts, canola, perilla, soy, and chia. After ingestion, it can
be incorporated in to body lipid pools (particularly triglycerides and phospholipid membranes),
and then endogenously metabolized through desaturation, elongation, and peroxisome oxidation
to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), with a very limited efficiency
(particularly for DHA), beta-oxidized as an energy source, or directly metabolized to C18-oxilipins.
At this moment, data in the literature about the effects of ALA supplementation on metabolic
syndrome (MetS) in humans are inconsistent, indicating no effects or some positive effects on all
MetS components (abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, impaired insulin sensitivity and glucoregulation,
blood pressure, and liver steatosis). The major effects of ALA on MetS seem to be through its
conversion to more potent EPA and DHA, the impact on the n-3/n-6 ratio, and the consecutive effects
on the formation of oxylipins and endocannabinoids, inflammation, insulin sensitivity, and insulin
secretion, as well as adipocyte and hepatocytes function. It is important to distinguish the direct
effects of ALA from the effects of EPA and DHA metabolites. This review summarizes the most recent
findings on this topic and discusses the possible mechanisms.

The chemical structures and purity of synthesized compounds were confirmed using standard analytical methods such as 1H, 13C NMR and IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis, and their electrochemical behavior was evaluated using cyclic voltammetry experiments. The stability of synthesized compounds in dimethyl sulfoxide solution was confirmed using 1H NMR spectroscopy. Finally, the antimicrobial potential of two complex precursors (CP1, [Ru(η6-benzene)Cl(μ-Cl)]2  and CP2, [Ru(η6-toluene)Cl(μ-Cl)]2), four ligands (L1 – L4), and eight corresponding complexes (C1 – C8) was screened against nine pathogenic microorganisms and two reference bacterial strains, using the micro-well dilution method. The highest antibacterial activity (0.63 mg/mL) exerted C5 against S. aureus, B. cereus, E. coli, and S. enteritidis, while complex C8 displayed more pronounced antimicrobial activity against C. albicans (MIC/MMC = 0.31 mg/mL). Subsequently, the studied complexes underwent a detailed examination utilizing the DFT methodology, acquiring important quantum-chemical descriptors. Notably, the HOMO-LUMO gap was established as a significant correlate with the antimicrobial activity of synthesized compounds.

AB  - Chemical substances are of utmost importance for the biotic interactions between animals and their predators/
parasites; many of these semiochemicals are emitted for defence purposes. One of the most deterrent and toxic
biogenic substances we know of is hydrogen cyanide, which can be stored by certain insects, millipedes, centipedes
and arachnids in the form of stable and less volatile molecules. The aim of this study was to analyse the
biology and chemistry of such a defence mechanism in a geophilomorph centipede (Chilopoda). The cyanogenic
secretion of Clinopodes flavidus is discharged from the ventral glands, whose glandular units are located in the
space between the cuticle and the trunk muscles and do not extend deep into the segment. In addition to
hydrogen cyanide, the ventral secretion contains 2-methylpentanoic acid, benzaldehyde, benzoyl cyanide, 2-
methyl branched C-9 carboxylic acid (tentatively identified as 2-methyloctanoic acid), methyl 2-phenylacetate,
benzoic acid and mandelonitrile as well as four major proteins with a molecular weight of 150, 66.2, 59 and 55
kDa. The correlation between the presence of ventral glands and guarding with the female’s ventral side facing
away from the eggs and young indicates a functional link between these two traits. We hope that the specificity of
the chemical composition of the ventral secretion could serve as a criterion for chemotaxonomy and that the
analysis of more species will help to clarify the phylogenetic relationships within the Geophilomorpha.

AB  - Intensive physical activity (PA) can lead to proteinuria and, consequently, serum protein
profiles in athletes. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of acute aronia juice
consumption before a simulated half-marathon race on serum protein profiles in recreational runners.
The pilot study was designed as a single-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study, with 10
male participants who consumed aronia juice (containing 1.3 g polyphenols) or placebo before the
race. The blood levels of total proteins, albumin, the non-albumin fractions gamma, beta, alpha2
and alpha1, as well as renal function parameters, were determined before and 15 min, 1 h and 24 h
after the race. The significant changes in urea, creatinine and uric acid levels were noticed at selected
time points in both groups. In the placebo group, a significant decrease in total proteins (p < 0.05)
was observed 24 h after the race, along with an increase in gamma fraction abundance (p < 0.05). In
addition, urea and uric acid levels returned to baseline only in the aronia group 24 h after the race.
Thus, according to the results obtained, acute aronia juice supplementation before intensive PA
could influence the transient change in renal function and PA-induced protein loss in recreational
runners.

AB  - Propranolol, a beta-blocker, is a widely used drug for cardiovascular diseases. A synthetic sample containing propranolol (PRO) solution at native pH was recirculated up to ten times through an original coaxial non-thermal plasma reactor with a water falling film. Different discharge conditions, feed gasses, and power greatly influenced the extent of PRO degradation and the abundance of degradation products. The highest degradation rates were achieved in Ar plasma, either pure or in a mixture with O2, with over 70% of PRO degraded after only two passes through the DBD reactor. The full non-thermal plasma treatment was followed by a minimal change of pH value and conductivity. On the other hand, ambient air as the feed gas resulted in 60% of PRO degradation rate after the full treatment and contributed to a major drop in pH value and an increase in the conductivity of the treated solution. The structures of 47 degradation products in all three gases were identified and the degradation pathway is proposed, supported by DFT methodology. Scavenging experiments demonstrated that hydroxyl radical was predominant when plasma was generated using ambient air and Ar, while it had a minimal effect on the degradation in the mixture of Ar and O2. The desired level of propranolol decomposition was achieved only by the adjustment of the nonchemical parameters of the treatment, such as plasma gas composition and power. These results imply that a non-thermal plasma reactor is a highly effective method for pharmaceutical wastewater treatment, with no catalysts added.

potvrđena je analizom potencijalno interferirajućih supstanci. Dalje, CPE/Ho2O3 senzor
pokazao je veoma dobre vrednosti „recovery“-ja , pri detekciji DU u realnim uzorcima. Takođe,
praktična primena senzora u realnim uzorcima potvrđena je konvencionalnom metodom kao

AB  - A lot of scientific effort was dedicated to research into a cure for cancer over past 
decades. Many of them failed due to a low solubility of synthetized compounds or low 
selectivity between healthy and pathogenic cells. It was shown that apigenin, a natural 
pigment of chamomile, showed some cytotoxic activity itself,[1] however, its extremely 
low solubility in water is a limiting factor in its use as a potential anticancer drug.
Here, we present a crystal structure of the first Re(V) complex containing apigenin 
– a natural occurring ligand. Various types of non-covalent interactions were found in 
the crystal structure (Figure 1). Namely, there are a couple of different hydrogen bonds 
(i.e. mono and bifurcated O-H∙∙∙O; O-H∙∙∙Cl; C-H∙∙∙Cl), T-shaped C-H∙∙∙π and π∙∙∙π 
stacking interactions. At least some of these interactions could be responsible for 
compounds’ final mechanism of anticancer action.

AB  - As detection and subsequent remediation of misconceptions developed within high-school organic chemistry courses in regard to various classes of organic compounds are a prerequisite for meaningful learning of more advanced organic chemistry content, this study sought to identify high-school students’ misconceptions about alcohols and carbonyl compounds by means of a four-tier test. The test items comprise the answer and reason tier in a multiple-choice question format, and the response to each tier is accompanied by a confidence rating provided on a six-point confidence scale. The test was administered to 154 students, and evidence of satisfactory validity and internal consistency of both the cognitive scores and confidence ratings was obtained. Since a correct response to a four-tier item presupposes that both the answer and the reason tier within which all the distracters originate from the previously detected challenges with the above-mentioned content are answered correctly, the mean score on the test was predictably low. At the same time, the confidence ratings associated with the students’ incorrect responses enabled a more accurate differentiation between wrong answers caused by the lack of knowledge and the existence of misconceptions, compared to all of the other types of diagnostic tests that were previously implemented for this purpose. The identification of eight misconceptions about alcohols and carbonyl compounds within this study paves the way for the development of remediation approaches that would neutralize the negative impact of these conceptual difficulties on the meaningful learning of all related organic chemistry content.

AB  - Hemiacetals of cyclopropanone can be isolated and stocked, contrary to their highly reactive parent ketone.  However, they are not readily converted to cyclopropanone, which limits their use as its synthetic equivalents.  2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy hemiacetals are expected to be better cyclopropanone surrogates, however, they have  never been prepared, so far. We show that oxyallyl cations with a heteroatom in the -position can be  intercepted with 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, with formation of cyclopropanone trifluoroethoxy hemiacetals stable  enough to be isolated, purified and characterized. These species can serve as synthetic equivalents of  cyclopropanone under mild conditions.

AB  - Copper(II) complexes with an α-diimine show a wide variety of biological activities, such as antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant and anticancer. In this work, we synthesized and structurally characterized two novel Cu(II) complexes with methyl 3-formyl-4-hydroxybenzoate (HL) and α-diimines: 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen). Crystal structure analysis shows that the formulas of the compounds are [Cu(bipy)(L)(BF4)] (1) and [Cu(phen)(L)(H2O)](BF4)·H2O (2), with BF4− as a ligand in complex 1, which is rarely coordinated to metals. Both complexes have a square pyramidal geometry, while DFT calculations showed that the most stable structures of complexes 1 and 2 in a water/DMSO mixture are square-planar derivatives [Cu(bipy)(L)]+ and [Cu(phen)(L)]+. The antibacterial activity of compounds was evaluated in vitro on four Gram-negative and four Gram-positive bacterial strains. Complex 2 showed greater antibacterial activity towards all bacterial strains comparable to the control compound Amikacin. Complex 2 exerted a strong cytotoxic effect against the tested cancer cell lines (IC50 values ranging from 0.32 to 0.44 μM). Both complexes caused apoptotic cell death in HeLa cells and a noticeable in vitro antiangiogenic effect. In the concentration range of 5 to 100 μM, the complexes showed the absence of a genotoxic effect and displayed a protective effect against oxidative DNA damage induced by H2O2 in human peripheral blood cells. The interaction between the compounds and calf–thymus DNA was evaluated by diverse techniques suggesting a tight binding, which was also confirmed by molecular docking. In addition, it was found that the complexes bind tightly and reversibly to bovine and human serum albumin.
