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  - It is known that positive potentials above the central regions of molecular surfaces are
indicators of the sensitivity towards detonation of molecules.[1] The higher the value is,
the more sensitive the molecule is considered to be. The presence of halogens in the
molecule significantly affects the charge distribution, and thus the sensitivity. However,
the exact influence depends on the type of halogen due to their different strength of
electron-withdrawing effect.[2]
In this work, electrostatic potential maps were calculated for the optimized geometries
of 1-halo-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene, 1,3-dihalo-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene and 1,3,5-trihalo-2,4,6
-trinitrobenzene. The geometry optimizations were obtained using the PBEPBE/6-
311G** level of theory in the Gaussian program. Calculations were made with and
without the inclusion of GD3BJ dispersion. The wfn files used in the WFA-SAS program
to obtain electrostatic potential maps for the mentioned molecules were obtained using
the same combination of method and basis set.
The results showed that within groups of molecules containing the same number of
halogen substituents, the value of the positive potential above the central region of the
molecule is the highest in cases where the substituent is fluorine. There is a decrease in
value as the substituents change in the direction from fluorine to iodine, with the largest
decrease being recorded in the case of 1,3,5-trihalo-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene. The obtained
results are in accordance with the strength of electron-withdrawing effect of the halogen
elements. There is also a noticeable trend of the increase in positive electrostatic
potential values with the increase in the number of halogen substituents (with the
exception of the sequence in which chlorine is the substituent).

AB  - Acetylsalicylic acid is a pharmaceutical drug well-known for its anti-inflammatory and
antipyretic effects, and it is commonly used for the treatment of pain and fever caused
by different diseases.[1] However, it is well known that pharmaceutical properties highly
depend on the geometry of chemical compounds. [2] Herein, we present a theoretical
study of the relationship between molecular geometry and chemical properties for
various acetylsalicylic acid structures obtained from the Cambridge Structural Database
(CSD). It is significant to emphasize that studied structures were synthesized and studied
under different experimental conditions, and some of them were classified as different
polymorphic structures.
In this work, we used quantum chemical calculations to study the influence of
differences in geometries on values of calculated electrostatic potentials in critical points
of selected acetylsalicylic acid molecules. The results showed that different crystal
structures have significant deviations in electrostatic potential values in critical points
above the ortho-Ar hydrogen atom. In addition, we studied the influence of geometry
differences on the strength of C-H/O interaction between acetylsalicylic acid and water
molecules. The results suggest that minor differences in the molecular geometry of
acetylsalicylic acid could significantly influence the strength of C-H/O interaction. In
conclusion, the geometry differences could have a crucial effect on the strength of non-
covalent interactions and pharmaceutical properties of acetylsalicylic acid.

AB  - Decreasing the sensitivity towards detonation of high-energy materials (HEMs) is the
ultimate goal of numerous theoretical and experimental studies. It is known that positive electrostatic
potential above the central areas of the molecular surface is related to high sensitivity towards the
detonation of high-energy molecules. Coordination compounds offer additional structural features
that can be used for the adjustment of the electrostatic potential values and sensitivity towards
detonation of this class of HEM compounds. By a careful combination of the transition metal atoms
and ligands, it is possible to achieve a fine-tuning of the values of the electrostatic potential on
the surface of the chelate complexes. Here we combined Density Functional Theory calculations
with experimental data to evaluate the high-energy properties of tris(3-nitropentane-2,4-dionato-κ2
O,O′) (nitro-tris(acetylacetonato)) complexes of Cr(III), Mn(III), Fe(III), and Co(III). Analysis of the
Bond Dissociation Energies (BDE) of the C-NO2 bonds and Molecular Electrostatic Potentials (MEP)
showed that these compounds may act as HEM molecules. Analysis of IR spectra and initiation of
the Co(AcAc-NO2)3 complex in the open flame confirmed that these compounds act as high-energy
molecules. The measured heat of combustion for the Co(AcAc-NO2)3 complex was 14,133 J/g, which
confirms the high-energy properties of this compound. The results also indicated that the addition
of chelate rings may be used as a new tool for controlling the sensitivity towards the detonation of
high-energy coordination compounds.

AB  - Pyramidane (tetracyclo[2.1.0.01,3.02,5]pentane, C5H4) and its derivates fall into the class of high-energy molecules with nonclasicall cage geometries [1]. Althoug pyrmidane itself has not been synthetized yet, cage molecules with strained triangular rings and an apex carbon atom were synthetized and their structures were determined. This provides an opportunity for the assessment of noncovalent bonding of the apex carbon atom in highly strained systems. Here, we analysed crystal stractures and performed interaction energies calculations to evaluate possibility of the apex carbon atom from pyramidane and pyramidane-like molecules to act as hydrogen atom acceptors in hydrogen bonds. 
Analysis of crystal structures from Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) showed that there are short hydrogen-carbon contacts between apex carbon atom from pyramidane-like structures and hydrogen atoms from X-H fragments. Results of quantum chemical calculations performed on MP2/DEF2-TZVP level showed that pyramidane molecules and its derivatives can form strong hydrogen bonds involving apex carbon atom as hydrogen atom acceptor. Calculated energy of O-H•••C hydrogen bond between  apex carbon atom of tetramethyl derivate of pyramidine and water was ΔE = -6.86 kcal/mol. This is significantly stronger than hydrogen bond between two water molecules (ΔE = 5.02 kcal/mol). Results of this study can by of greate importance for the recognition of nonclasical hydrogen bonds involving highly strained molecules. In addition, results presented here may help in the assessment of high-energy properties of strained cage molecules.

Here, we analysed crystal stractures and performed interaction energies calculations to evaluate possibility of the apex carbon atom from pyramidane and pyramidane-like molecules to act as hydrogen atom acceptors in hydrogen bonds. 
Analysis of crystal structures from Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) showed that there are short hydrogen-carbon contacts between apex carbon atom from pyramidane-like structures and hydrogen atoms from X-H fragments. Results of quantum chemical calculations performed on MP2/DEF2-TZVP level showed that pyramidane molecules and its derivatives can form strong hydrogen bonds involving apex carbon atom as hydrogen atom acceptor. Calculated energy of O-H•••C hydrogen bond between  apex carbon atom of tetramethyl derivate of pyramidine and water was ΔE = -6.86 kcal/mol. This is significantly stronger than hydrogen bond between two water molecules (ΔE = 5.02 kcal/mol). Results of this study can by of greate importance for the recognition of nonclasical hydrogen bonds involving highly strained molecules. In addition, results presented here may help in the assessment of high-energy properties of strained cage molecules.",

compounds, and minerals. Plum production in Norway is located in the fjord districts of the
In most cases, levels of nutrients are altered by the genotype, cultivation techniques and preharvest
conditions. Therefore, the aim of this work was to investigate influence of
geographical and botanical origin on chemical composition of organic cultivated Norwegian
plum fruits. Besides aroma, fruit color and firmness, sugar content is one of the main traits
that influence fruit taste and one of the main benchmarks. A total of eight sugars and two
sugar alcohols were quantified in 30 investigated plum samples. The most abundant sugar in
all tested samples was glucose, followed by fructose and sucrose. Significant differences in
the content of sugars and sugar alcohols were found among the examined samples. In
investigated plum, 24 mineral elements were determined. Four macro-elements were
quantified in larger amounts: potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, and calcium. Dominant
mineral in all investigated plums was K (10922 45002 mg kg-1). The contents of toxic
elements (mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium) were below the limit of quantification
(allowable concentration). These findings could be useful as a reference for selecting the
plum and cultivar breeding for each location.

AB  - Persian walnut (or English walnut) growing dates back to 7000 BC in Persia, a gene center of Juglans regia L. The top leading countries in walnut production are China, the USA, and Iran accounting for ~75% of world production. Nuts are an essential component in human nutrition because their consumption provides the required amount of energy (720 kcal per 100 g of fruits), unsaturated fatty acids, carbohydrates, proteins, fibers, sterols, tocopherols, minerals (K, P, Ca, Mg, and Na), volatiles, and other bioactive constituents. In addition, walnut kernels are rich in oil (50–70%) and protein, depending on the cultivar, location, and irrigation rate. Although mostly consumed raw, walnut kernels are increasingly processed by cold pressing into light yellow edible oil used in foods as flavoring, like salad dressings or cooking. Walnut oil is especially valued for its high content of essential fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic acids) and micronutrients such as phytosterols, squalene, and other tree nut oils polyphenols, and tocopherols. As by-products, both shell and cold-pressed cake from walnut that remains after the cold pressing process of oil can be used in various ways (food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical products, or textile industry). Especially residual walnut press cake is practical when used in food and in pharmacy, mostly integrated into other products. The reason for treating residual cake as a value-added product lies in the fact that defatted cake is generally rich in polar phenolic compounds and, as a source of natural antioxidants, is expected to show significant antioxidant activity. The most abundant polyphenols found in walnut oil cake are hydrolyzable tannins. In addition, press cake is rich in dietary fiber, protein, residual oil, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and tocopherol, all considered health-enhancing components. Therefore, by using walnut oil cake as a low-cost product, many aspects connected with the valorization of food wastes are covered, such as consumers' dietary habits, economy, and environmental protection. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

AB  - Berry fruits (such as strawberry – Fragaria × ananassa, raspberry – Rubus idaeus, blackberry – Rubus fruticosus, currants – Ribes sp., blueberry – Vaccinium sp., and many others) are known for their health benefits due to their richness in sugars, acids, vitamins, minerals, phenolics, and other nutrients. However, their contents are influenced by various factors, such as species, berry cultivar, ripeness, geographical origin, and growing conditions, and the type of extraction and processing of raw seed material. Generally, the berry industry for juice and fruit-wine production produces vast amounts of by-products (mostly seeds). Since berry seeds contain lipids, these by-products are very interesting as a raw material for oil production. As berry seed oil production generates certain waste, strategies towards reducing and valorizing need to be developed. Unlike beery fruits and berry seed oil, whose composition has been tested many times so far, berry seed oil by-products were the subject of a small number of published papers. Due to chemical richness and heterogeneity, it is expected that berry seed oil by-products to be promising natural bio-resource. Still, it is necessary to consider how many other biologically valuable compounds remain in seed waste. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

AB  - Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of synthetic chemicals that have been widely used in various industrial and consumer products due to their unique properties, such as oil and water repellency, thermal stability, and durability. However, the persistence and mobility of these chemicals in the environment have raised concerns about their potential adverse effects on human health and the environment. PFAS have been detected on a global scale in various environmental media, such as soil, water, air, and biota. As a country undergoing economic development and transition, Serbia faces the challenge of managing and addressing the PFAS contamination in its environment. This challenge requires a comprehensive and science-based strategy that can effectively reduce the exposure and risks of PFAS to human health and the environment. This document aims to provide a scientific strategy for solving the PFAS challenge in Serbia. Firstly, it is important to acknowledge that PFAS are persistent and bioaccumulative in the environment, which means that they do not break down easily and can accumulate in the food chain, posing a long-term risk to human health and the environment. Therefore, a precautionary approach is necessary to minimize the exposure and risks of PFAS. International experience and cooperation are very important for developing an effective scientifc strategy for addressing the PFAS challenge in Serbia. PFAS are a global issue, and many countries have already implemented measures to manage and reduce the exposure and risks of PFAS. Therefore, it is important to draw on international experience and best practices when developing the strategy for Serbia. International experience can provide valuable insights into the sources, pathways, and fate of PFAS, as well as the e"ectiveness of various risk management measures. For example, the United States, Canada, and some European countries have established regulatory frameworks for PFAS, which can serve as a model for Serbia. Other countries have implemented remediation measures for contaminated sites, which can provide valuable insights for selecting appropriate remediation technologies in Serbia. Moreover, international experience can provide access to the latest scientific knowledge, methods, and technologies for assessing and managing PFAS contamination. For example, international organizations such as the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) have developed guidance documents and tools for assessing and managing PFAS contamination. The scientific strategy for solving the PFAS challenge in Serbia is based on a thorough understanding of the sources, pathways, and fate of PFAS in the environment. It is also based on a comprehensive and systematic approach, including risk assessment, monitoring, regulation, remediation, and communication. This strategy is tailored to the specific context and needs of Serbia. It is based on the latest scientifc knowledge and practical experience from other countries and regions, focusing on the European Union, USA, China and Japan. The cultural, social, economic, and political factors can affect the implementation and effectiveness of the strategy, and therefore, the strategy is developed through a collaborative and participatory process involving stakeholders from different sectors and levels. The international experience provided helpful guidance and lessons learned, but ultimately, the strategy is based on local knowledge, priorities, and capacities. By implementing this strategy, we aim to contribute to that Serbia can protect its citizens and environment from the potential harm of PFAS and achieve sustainable development.

AB  - The aim of this study was to compile a detailed phytochemical profile and assess the antioxidant properties of bee-collected pollen (PBP) obtained from corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas L.) plants. To achieve this, a lipid fraction was prepared for quantifying fatty acids using GC-FID. Extractable and alkaline-hydrolysable PBP fractions (obtained from a defatted sample) were used to determine the qualitative and quantitative profiles of phenolic compounds, phenylamides and alkaloids using UHPLC/Q-ToF-MS. Additionally, various spectrophotometric assays (TAC, FRP, CUPRAC, DPPH⦁) were conducted to evaluate the antioxidant properties. Phenolic compounds were more present in the extractable fraction than in the alkaline-hydrolysable fraction. Luteolin was the predominant compound in the extractable fraction, followed by tricetin and various derivatives of kaempferol. This study presents one of the first reports on the quantification of tricetin aglycone outside the Myrtaceae plant family. The alkaline-hydrolysable fraction exhibited a different phenolic profile, with a significantly lower amount of phenolics. Kaempferol/derivatives, specific compounds like ferulic and 5-carboxyvanillic acids, and (epi)catechin 3-O-gallate were the predominant compounds in this fraction. Regarding phenylamides, the extractable fraction demonstrated a diverse range of these bioactive compounds, with a notable abundance of different spermine derivatives. In contrast, the hydrolysable fraction contained six spermine derivatives and one spermidine derivative. The examined fractions also revealed the presence of seventeen different alkaloids, belonging to the benzylisoquinoline, berberine and isoquinoline classes. The fatty-acid profile confirmed the prevalence of unsaturated fatty acids. Furthermore, both fractions exhibited significant antioxidant activity, with the extractable fraction showing particularly high activity. Among the assays conducted, the CUPRAC assay highlighted the exceptional ability of PBP’s bioactive compounds to reduce cupric ions.

AB  - The paper reports results from organic petrological and geochemical characterization of Suhostrel bituminous coal deposit, SW Bulgaria. Three high ash (21–47 wt%) and thin (up to 0.6 m) coal seams, representing splits from a locally compact coal bed (∼1.8 m thick), were formed around the southern and south-western rim of the Padesh Graben during its Eocene evolution. High total organic carbon contents (avg. ∼86 wt%, daf), vitrinite reflectance (avg. Ro = 1.05%) and Tmax (avg. 457 °C) argue for high vol. A/medium vol. bituminous coalification rank. Maceral composition is dominated by vitrinite (avg. ∼ 95 vol%), accompanied by small amounts of liptinite (avg. ∼ 5 vol%). Apart from few occurrences of funginite, inertinite is not present. The organic matter is mostly represented by detrovitrinite and collotelinite, the latter generally occurring in the form of gelified leaf-derived tissues. Liptinite is mainly represented by cutinite and microsporinite and display no evidence for organic matter contribution from algae. Low TPI and VI indices indicate peat formation from vegetation with poor preservation potential. Insignificant contents of gelovitrinite, coupled with high GI indices denote greater importance of the geochemical processes for the gelification of the organic matter. Striking predominance of mid- and long-chain n-alkanes argues for peat formation from a mixture of aquatic macrophytes and terrestrial vegetational communities. Presence of oleanane, albeit in low concentration, provides robust argument for contribution from angiosperm plants, whereas absence of resin-derived sesqui- and diterpenoid hydrocarbons denotes insignificant role of conifers during peat accumulation. Reconstructed depositional settings indicate organic matter accumulation under marginal aquatic, marsh/fen-type peatland with meso- to rheotrophic characteristics (GWI > 0.5). High mineral matter contents, coupled with the abundance of siliciclastic grains, imply hydrologically active environment. Plant remains deposited under oxidizing conditions (Pr/Ph = 1.5–2.5), but because of high water table were likely subjected to frequent (perhaps seasonal) changes in Eh settings. The resultant limited aerobic biodegradation of the plant remains is evidenced by low concentrations of hopanoid biomarkers and their diagenetic degradation products – drimane-type sesquiterpenoids. Post-depositional marine influence and downward infiltrating sulfate-rich waters is considered responsible for the presence of dibenzothiophene derivatives in Suhostrel coal. All molecular maturity-related ratios (e.g. CPI, Ts/(Ts + Tm), βα/(αβ + βα) C30 hopanes, ββ/(ββ + αα) C29 steranes, MPI-1, etc.) are fully compatible with the bulk geochemical parameters (e.g., TOC, Tmax, Ro) and confirm the bituminous coalification rank of the coal. Based on this data, temperatures of ∼130–140 °C were likely reached during burial of the sediments in a zone, characterized by high thermal influx (geothermal gradient ∼43–47 °C/km).

AB  - We present a novel approach for the enzymatic functionalization of graphene, utilizing horseradish peroxidase (HPO) and laccase (LC) from Trametes versicolor. This study demonstrates, for the first time, the covalent modification of non-homogeneous graphene with a low surface-to-volume ratio, both in solution and on solid support. Through thermogravimetry analysis, we estimate the degree of functionalization to be 11% with HPO and 4% with LC, attributed to the varying redox potentials of the enzymes. This work highlights the potential of enzymatic reactions for tailored functionalization of graphene under mild conditions.

AB  - The significant role of papain-like cysteine proteases, including papain, cathepsin L and SARS-CoV-2 PLpro, in biomedicine and biotechnology makes them interesting model systems for sensor development. These enzymes have a free thiol group that is suitable for many sensor designs including strong binding to gold nanoparticles or low-molecular-weight inhibitors. Focusing on the importance of the preservation of native protein structure for inhibitor-binding and molecular-imprinting, which has been applied in some efficient examples of sensor development, the aim of this work was to examine the effects of the free-thiol-group’s reversible blocking on papain denaturation that is the basis of its activity loss and aggregation. To utilize biophysical methods common in protein structural transitions characterization, such as fluorimetry and high-resolution infrared spectroscopy, low-molecular-weight electrophilic thiol blocking reagent S-Methyl methanethiosulfonate (MMTS) was used in solution. MMTS binding led to a two-fold increase in 8-Anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid fluorescence, indicating increased hydrophobic residue exposure. A more in-depth analysis showed significant transitions on the secondary structure level upon MMTS binding, mostly characterized by the lowered content of α-helices and unordered structures (either for approximately one third), and the increase in aggregation-specific β-sheets (from 25 to 52%) in a dose-dependant manner. The recovery of this inhibited protein showed that reversibility of inhibition is accompanied by reversibility of protein denaturation. Nevertheless, a 100-fold molar excess of the inhibitor led to the incomplete recovery of proteolytic activity, which can be explained by irreversible denaturation. The structural stability of the C-terminal β-sheet rich domain of the papain-like cysteine protease family opens up an interesting possibility to use its foldamers as a strategy for sensor development and other multiple potential applications that rely on the great commercial value of papain-like cysteine proteases.

AB  - Herein, we report the synthesis and application of a highly active and
versatile Pd/chemical vapor synthesis-ZnO (Pd/CVS-ZnO) catalytic system. The twostep
preparation of the catalyst includes chemical vapor synthesis (CVS) of ultrapure
ZnO nanotetrapods, followed by the liquid-phase in situ reduction of a Pd precursor
and deposition of polycrystalline Pd nanoparticles (∼6 nm). The as-synthesized catalyst
was characterized using standard instrumental techniques. The catalyst was successfully
applied in four chemical reactions: Suzuki−Miyaura cross-coupling, reduction of
nitroarenes, decarbonylation, and hydrodebromination of aromatic compounds, of
which, the latter two are reported for the first time for the Pd/ZnO catalytic system.
The catalyst showed excellent activity within a wide range of substrates, delivering the products in high yields (70−99%). The
recyclability of the Pd/CVS-ZnO catalyst was tested through two different approaches. First, the catalyst recyclability was examined
in all four reactions, reusing the catalyst up to four times in the Suzuki−Miyaura cross-coupling reaction, as well as the reduction of
4-nitrobenzonitrile, without a significant loss of yield. Furthermore, the catalyst was successively used in three different reactions,
showing a high degree of stability and delivering excellent product yields in all cases. In addition to its excellent activity, versatility,
and stability, the Pd/CVS-ZnO catalytic system also exhibits excellent recyclability over consecutive runs, which makes it a
promising candidate for future application in complex industrial processes.

AB  - Polyurethanes (PUs) are an exceedingly heterogeneous group of plastic polymers, widely used in a variety of industries from construction to medical implants. In the past decades, we have witnessed the accumulation of PU waste and its detrimental environmental impacts. PUs have been identified as one of the most toxic polymers leaching hazardous compounds derived both from the polymer itself and the additives used in production. Further environmental impact assessment, identification and characterization of substances derived from PU materials and establishing efficient degradation strategies are crucial. Thus, a selection of eight synthetic model compounds which represent partial PU hydrolysis products were synthesized and characterized both in terms of toxicity and suitability to be used as substrates for the identification of novel biocatalysts for PU biodegradation. Overall, the compounds exhibited low in vitro cytotoxicity against a healthy human fibroblast cell line and virtually no toxic effect on the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans up to 500 µg mL−1, and two of the substrates showed moderate aquatic ecotoxicity with EC50 values 53 µg mL−1 and 45 µg mL−1, respectively, on Aliivibrio fischeri. The compounds were successfully applied to study the mechanism of ester and urethane bond cleaving preference of known plastic-degrading enzymes and were used to single out a novel PU-degrading biocatalyst, Amycolatopsis mediterranei ISP5501, among 220 microbial strains. A. mediterranei ISP5501 can also degrade commercially available polyether and polyester PU materials, reducing the average molecular number of the polymer up to 13.5%. This study uncovered a biocatalyst capable of degrading different types of PUs and identified potential enzymes responsible as a key step in developing biotechnological process for PU waste treatment options.

abstract = "Polyurethanes (PUs) are an exceedingly heterogeneous group of plastic polymers, widely used in a variety of industries from construction to medical implants. In the past decades, we have witnessed the accumulation of PU waste and its detrimental environmental impacts. PUs have been identified as one of the most toxic polymers leaching hazardous compounds derived both from the polymer itself and the additives used in production. Further environmental impact assessment, identification and characterization of substances derived from PU materials and establishing efficient degradation strategies are crucial. Thus, a selection of eight synthetic model compounds which represent partial PU hydrolysis products were synthesized and characterized both in terms of toxicity and suitability to be used as substrates for the identification of novel biocatalysts for PU biodegradation. Overall, the compounds exhibited low in vitro cytotoxicity against a healthy human fibroblast cell line and virtually no toxic effect on the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans up to 500 µg mL−1, and two of the substrates showed moderate aquatic ecotoxicity with EC50 values 53 µg mL−1 and 45 µg mL−1, respectively, on Aliivibrio fischeri.

AB  - The synthesis and characterization of four dumbbell-shaped fullerene molecules connected by isosorbide and isomannide moieties is presented. Additionally, their electrochemical behavior and their ability to form complexes with [10]cycloparaphenylene ([10]CPP) were investigated. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) results of the fullerene dumbbells demonstrate a high electron affinity, indicating their strong interaction with electron-donating counterparts such as carbon nanorings, which possess complementary charge and shape properties. To study the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of complexation, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) was employed. NMR titration experiments provided further insights into the binding stoichiometries. Two distinct approaches were utilized to create bridged structures: one based on cyclopropane and the other based on furan. Regardless of the type of linker used, all derivatives formed conventional 2 : 1 complexes denoted as [10]CPP2 ⊃C60derivative . However, the methano-dumbbell molecules exhibited distinct binding behavior, resulting in the formation of mono- and bis-pseudorotaxanes, as well as oligomers (polymers). The formation of linear polymers holds significant potential for applications in solar energy conversion processes.

AB  - This narrative review summarizes epidemiological studies on breast cancer and prostate cancer with an overview of their global incidence distribution to investigate the relationship between these diseases and diet. The biological properties, mechanisms of action, and available data supporting the potential role of isoflavones in the prevention of breast cancer and prostate cancer are discussed. Studies evaluating the effects of isoflavones in tissue cultures of normal and malignant breast and prostate cells, as well as the current body of research regarding the effects of isoflavones attained through multiple modifications of cellular molecular signaling pathways and control of oxidative stress, are summarized. Furthermore, this review compiles literature sources reporting on the following: (1) levels of estrogen in breast and prostate tissue; (2) levels of isoflavones in the normal and malignant tissue of these organs in European and Asian populations; (3) average concentrations of isoflavones in the secretion of these organs (milk and semen). Finally, particular emphasis is placed on studies investigating the effect of isoflavones on tissues via estrogen receptors (ER).

AB  - Considering the health-benefits of berry fruits consumption and increased market demands for food authenticity
as one of the most important quality assurances, phenolic profiling by high-performance thin layer chroma-
tography and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography hyphenated with mass spectrometry was combined
with multivariate analysis for phytochemical characterization and intercultivar discrimination of cultivated
berry seeds. The phenolic profiles of 45 berry seeds from nine genuine Serbian cultivated fruit species (straw-
berry, raspberry, blackberry, black currant, blueberry, gooseberry, cape gooseberry, chokeberry, and goji berry)
revealed a good differentiation according to botanical origin. In order to determine biomarkers responsible for
the classification, a total of 103 phenolic compounds were identified, including 53 phenolic acids and their
derivatives, 26 flavonoids and 24 glycosides. Biomarkers derived from the phenolic profile of berry seeds proved
to be a powerful tool in the authentication of botanical origin, and may be useful in detection of frauds in berry-
based seed-containing product.

AB  - Strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo L.) honey (STH) has been used since ancient times as a folk medicine remedy, especially in certain Mediterranean countries. This honey, rich in phenolic content, is well recognized for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities, and is used for the treatment of skin lesions as well as gastrointestinal and respiratory disorders. This study investigated whether STH alleviates genome damage in human peripheral blood lymphocytes produced by the cytotoxic drug irinotecan. The phenolic profile of STH was previously estimated by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to a linear ion trap–Orbitrap hybrid mass spectrometer. The effects of STH were evaluated at three concentrations (1×, 5×, and 10×), based on the daily consumption of the honey by an adult person. After 2 h of in vitro exposure, standard lymphocyte cultures for the analysis of chromosome aberrations and the cytokinesis-block micronucleus cytome assay were established. Our results demonstrate that STH offered remarkable geno- and cytoprotection when administered with irinotecan. These findings are relevant for drawing preliminary conclusions regarding the in vitro safety of the tested honey. However, further studies are needed with the application of more complex experimental models.

AB  - Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica L.) is one fantastic plant widely used in folk medicine, pharmacy, cosmetics, and food. This plant’s popularity may be explained by its chemical composition, containing a wide range of compounds significant for human health and diet. This study aimed to investigate extracts of exhausted stinging nettle leaves after supercritical fluid extraction obtained using ultrasound and microwave techniques. Extracts were analyzed to obtain insight into the chemical composition and biological activity. These extracts were shown to be more potent than those of previously untreated leaves. The principal component analysis was applied as a pattern recognition tool to visualize the antioxidant capacity and cytotoxic activity of extract obtained from exhausted stinging nettle leaves. An artificial neural network model is presented for the prediction of the antioxidant activity of samples according to polyphenolic profile data, showing a suitable anticipation property (the r2 value during the training cycle for output variables was 0.999).
