Lipophenols, combining phenolic and lipid characteristics in an amphiphilic molecule, offer unique bioactive properties with therapeutic potential, including anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects. Thus, palmitoyl-epigallocatechin gallate (PEGCG)...

Accurate determination of carbon core-electron binding energies (C1s CEBEs) is crucial for X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) assignments and predictive computational modeling. This study evaluates density functional theory (DFT)-based methods fo...

Plant polyphenols have emerged as potent bioactive molecules that can modulate key cellular pathways associated with aging and chronic disorders. The Mediterranean diet and the traditional Japanese style of life are rich in polyphenol-containing food...

This study evaluated the in vitro anti-inflammatory activity of serotonin derivatives from safflower seed powder and elucidated their mechanism against ulcerative colitis using network pharmacology. Compounds were extracted and purified via silica ge...

Rapid economic growth has led to an increase in the use of multilayer plastic packaging, which involves complex polymer compositions and hinders recycling. This study investigated the catalytic pyrolysis of plastic packaging waste in a 3000 cm3 semib...

At a time of climate change, farmers face difficulties in providing food for a growing population. This results in the overuse of water and fertilisers. The aim of the research was to test the possibility of introducing waste sheep wool fibres into a...

Oxysterols can be derived from the diet, physiologically produced via specific enzymes, or are generated by autoxidation. These molecules have physiological properties and can also adversely affect vital organs. Indeed, some of them have pro-oxidant...

Lippia multiflora Moldenke is widely used in Angola, on the African continent, and beyond for the treatment of many health conditions such as hypertension, enteritis, colds, gastrointestinal disturbances, stomachaches, jaundice, coughs, fevers, nause...

Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease that affects the periodontal supporting tissues. Its cardinal clinical manifestations encompass gingival inflammation, periodontal pocket formation, and alveolar bone resorption. Urolithin A (UA), a gut microb...

Three previously synthesized ketene dithioacetals were used as intermediates to obtain four nucleophiles to synthesize ten tetra-substituted pyrazoles (11–20). This was achieved through microwave irradiation in ethanol as the solvent, yielding...
