This study presents the synthesis and comprehensive characterization of ketoprofen 1,4-sorbitan ester, a novel compound with potential applications in drug delivery. The compound was synthesized through a two-step process involving the acid-catalyzed dehydration of D-Glucose to form 1,4-sorbitan, followed by esterification with ketoprofen. The structures of ketoprofen 1,4-sorbitan ester and the reference compound, ketoprofen methyl ester, were rigorously analyzed using a combination of advanced analytical techniques. High-resolution accurate mass liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry was used to determine the precise molecular mass and elemental composition of the synthesized compounds. 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy provided detailed information on the molecular structure and atomic connectivity to identify the specific functional groups and confirm the formation of ester bonds.

The title compound (1) was obtained within a project aimed at synthesizing inhibitors of the human enzyme lactate dehydrogenase A (hLDHA). Compound 1 was synthesized by Suzuki cross-coupling of (E)-1-(4-bromophenyl)-N-(4-methoxyphenyl)methanimine (2a) or (E)-1-(4-iodophenyl)-N-(4-methoxyphenyl)methanimine (2b) with 4-(trifluoromethyl)phenylboronic acid (3) using Pd(PPh3)4 as a catalyst in 86% and 87% yields, respectively. Halo-imines 2a and 2b were previously obtained by condensation reaction between p-anisidine (4) and 4-bromo-benzaldehyde (5a) or 4-iodo-benzaldehyde (5b), respectively. The structure of compound 1 was established by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopies, and high-resolution mass spectrometry.

Capsicum annuum, commonly known as pepper, is a widely cultivated crop valued for its nutritional and economic significance. Among its varieties, the small red bell pepper, locally known as “pimienta palmera”, is a unique cultivar from La Palma in the Canary Islands, renowned for its distinctive flavor and use in traditional dishes. Despite its cultural importance, limited research exists on the chemical composition of this pepper variety. This study investigates the chemical constituents of dichloromethane and n-butanol fractions extracted from the pericarp of Capsicum annuum var. palmera. Isolation and structural elucidation of compounds were achieved using high-resolution mass spectrometry (HREIMS), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), and chromatographic techniques. A previously unreported pyrrolo-lactone compound, 2-(6-formyl-3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]oxazin-4-yl)acetic acid, was identified alongside other metabolites, including α-tocopherol, β-sitosterol, and oleic acid. This alkaloid adds to the chemical diversity of Capsicum species and highlights the unique bioactive potential of this regional pepper. These findings enhance the understanding of pimienta palmera’s composition and suggest potential applications in nutraceuticals and pharmacology due to the biological activity associated with pyrrole alkaloids. The characterization of this compound underscores the need to further explore the phytochemical richness of traditional crops with limited prior research.

We have previously reported that thiazolylketol acetates, synthesized by the addition of 2-lithiothiazole to sugar lactones followed by acetylation, are efficient glycosyl donors affording O-, N-, P-, and C-glycosides. After the first example of C-glycosidation recently described by us, we report here on the unexpected outcome of the reaction of a thiazolylketol acetate with allyltrimethylsilane in the presence of trimethylsilyl triflate. The obtained intermediate, an intramolecular N-thiazolium salt, could be stereoselectively converted into the desired allyl C-thiazolylketoside.

Reactions of 2,2′-bipyridine-6,6′-dicarbonyl-bis(N,N-diethylthiourea), H2Lbipy, with a mixture of thorium nitrate hydrate and nickel acetate hydrate in methanol with NEt3 as a supporting base yield brown single crystals of the bimetallic complex [ThNi(Lbipy)2(CH3COO)2(MeOH)]. Two 2,2′-bipyridine-centered bis(aroylthioureato) ligands connect the metal atoms in a way that the thorium atom is coordinated by two O,N,N,O donor atom sets, while the nickel atom establishes two S,O chelate rings in its equatorial coordination plane. The metal atoms are connected by a bridging acetato ligand, and their coordination spheres are completed by one methanol ligand (nickel) and a monodentate acetato ligand (thorium). A distorted octahedral coordination environment is established around the Ni2+ ion, while the Th4+ ion is in first approximation a 10-coordinate with a diffusely defined coordination polyhedron.

Lipid-like nanoparticles (LLNPs) have been shown to be an effective encapsulation and delivery tool for therapeutic molecules. While the preclinical development of lipid nanoparticle formulations has been of paramount importance, next-generation LLNPs present an opportunity of enhanced biocompatibility. With the change in amido functionality as part of the core backbone, our target, carbamate functionality within the LLNP core scaffold, was realized upon reaction of a protected amino alcohol onto the isocyanate generated in situ via a Curtius rearrangement. The single-step assembly of carbamate functionality starting from cyclohexane carboxylic acid in the presence of diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA) exceeds the metrics set forth for the rapid installment and enhanced biodegradability of next-generation lipid-like nanoparticles.

Surfactants are very important compounds that are ubiquitous in biological systems and detergents. Among them, ferrocene surfactants are a very valuable class of stimuli-responsive materials since the presence of ferrocene moiety discloses the chance to control and even modify their amphiphilic properties via a redox-induced change in the surfactant charge. In this paper, we report a new ferrocene-based surfactant: a ferrocene C-3 derivative of cholic acid, a non-classical surfactant. The title compound of this work was meant to show the significant self-assembly behaviour typical of bile salts, improved by the presence of the aromatic ferrocene subunit. We intended to demonstrate that the presence of the redox mediator should provide the derivative with sensitivity to an oxidative stimulus and control over the aggregation properties. The title compound was prepared in two steps from easily accessible precursors, and its optical properties were investigated through UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. The determination of its critical micellar concentration and redox potential confirmed this derivative’s amphiphilic nature and its tendency to be reversibly oxidized.
