On Networks with Active and Passive Agents [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
We introduce an active-passive networked multiagent system framework, which consists of agents subject to exogenous inputs (active agents) and agents without any inputs (passive agents), and analyze its convergence using Lyapunov stability.

Factors Controlling Diastereoselectivity and Reactivity in the Catalytic Aerobic Carbooxygenation of (E)‐2‐Fluoro‐3‐aryl‐allyl Nitroacetates

Chemistry – An Asian Journal, EarlyView.
Experimental and computational methods reveal unique diastereoconvergency in radical‐based catalytic aerobic carbooxygenation of 2‐fluoro‐3‐aryl‐allyl nitroacetates. Both (E)‐ and (Z)‐isomers are converted into α,α,β,β‐tetrasubstituted γ‐lactones with high syn‐selectivity, even without E/Z isomerization of the alkene unit.

Visible Light‐Mediated Preparation of a Key Intermediate Employed in the Synthesis of Zolpidem and Several Analogs

Chemistry – An Asian Journal, EarlyView.
A new visible light‐induced method is reported for the C3‐alkylation of imidazo[1,2‐a]pyrimidines and ‐pyridines with aryldiazoacetates. This protocol can be performed in open air and serves as a convenient entry to several known and new molecules. A formal synthesis of zolpidem is achieved by changing the alkylating agent to an appropriate hypervalent

Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 offers an anti-inflammatory and antifungal method in the treatment of Aspergillus fungus keratitis in vitro and in vivo [PDF]

arXiv
Background: Fungal keratitis is a serious blinding eye disease. Traditional drugs used to treat fungal keratitis commonly have the disadvantages of low bioavailability, poor dispersion, and limited permeability. Purpose: To develop a new method for the treatment of fungal keratitis with improved bioavailability, dispersion, and permeability.

Design and Synthesis of Triazole‐Based p‐tert‐Butylcalix[4]Arene Conjugates and Evaluation of Their Antimicrobial, Antibiofilm, and Anti‐Quorum‐Sensing Activities

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Macrocyclic calix[n]arenes have many applications, with diverse structures that can easily be functionalized either on upper or lower rims, mostly to impart solubility and improve biological activities. In this study, triazole‐based p‐tert‐butylcalix[4]arene conjugates (AT10a and AT10b) and their p‐tert‐butylphenol analogs (AT10b and AT11b ...
