N-Aryl Acridone Derivatives as Effective Catalysts for Energy Transfer Reactions. [PDF]
Acridones derivatives have high triplet energy, are simple accessible, and could be used in challenging [2+2] ENT reactions. ABSTRACT Organic photocatalysts capable of promoting high‐energy triplet energy transfer (EnT) remain limited, particularly for demanding [2+2] photocycloaddition reactions.

Antioxidant Chemistry of Phenolics in Chinese Herbal Medicines: A Holism-Based Review. [PDF]
Phenolic antioxidants in CHMs mainly include chalcone, stilbene, flavonoid, xanthone, and Diels–Alder‐type adducts. They undergo direct and indirect pathways to exert antioxidant action. The indirect pathway is transition metal‐chelating, while the direct pathway comprises several redox‐based reactions (e.g., SET and HAT) and RAF reactions.

Enzymatic synthesis of bioactive quinolones and (thio)coumarins by fungal type III polyketide synthases. [PDF]
Quinolones are valuable scaffolds for drug discovery but are rare in nature. Here, we show that two fungal enzymes, AthePKS and FerePKS, can generate 2‐quinolones and two additional heteroaromatic scaffolds. Using AthePKS, we designed an artificial enzymatic cascade towards an antimicrobial quinolone from a simple precursor and implemented it in E ...

Antioxidant Profiling of Glycosmis cyanocarpa: In Vitro Assays and Pearson's Correlation Study. [PDF]
Oxidative stress is a major contributor to the development of various chronic illnesses, making the evaluation of plant‐derived antioxidants a crucial step in the search for novel therapeutic agents. Glycosmis cyanocarpa (Blume) Spreng., a relatively underexplored species native to South and Southeast Asia, has shown potential as a natural antioxidant ...
