Progress Toward Replacing Animals in Toxicity Testing for Cosmetics [PDF]
In the 1980’s, animal rights activists successfully motivated the cosmetic industry to begin researching alternatives to animal tests.

ABSTRACT Rhizorhabdus wittichii RW1 is known for its ability to degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, such as dibenzo‐p‐dioxin (DD) and dibenzofuran (DF). We hypothesized that the R. wittichii RW1 benzoate 1,2‐dioxygenase shares electron transfer components with the DD/DF angular dioxygenase (DxnA1A2), similar to many aromatic hydrocarbon degrading

The rearrangement of beta,gamma-unsaturated esters, such as 2-(3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1-yl)-propionic acid ethyl ester, with thallium trinitrate (TTN) in acetic acid leads to 3-indan-1-yl-2-methyl-3-oxo-propionic acid ethyl ester in good yield, through a ...

Abstract figure legend The volume‐regulated anion channel (VRAC), composed of leucine‐rich repeat‐containing 8 (LRRC8) proteins, serves both canonical and non‐canonical functions in vertebrate cells. The canonical function of this channel relates to its original description, which is homeostatic regulation of cell volume in response to hypotonic ...

Research progress of donepezil for treating mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease
Donepezil is the second generation of cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs), which has a good effect on mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD). In recent years, there were a lot of studies on the mechanism of donepezil. This paper mainly introduces the

Novel merocyanine derivatives with a strong diphenyl‐dihydrophenazine donor and a series of strong electron acceptors were developed. The indanone and indandione acceptor units were modified by dicyanovinylene groups to tune acceptor strength. Among these derivatives, DPPZ‐IDD realized an ultranarrow electrochemical gap of 0.93 eV and an optical band ...

Hochgradig enantioselektive Organokatalyse mit zweizähnigen Halogenbrückendonoren
In einer Mukaiyama‐Aldol‐Modellreaktion mit allgemeinen Substraten wurden hohe Enantioselektivitäten mit einem modifizierbaren, bidentaten Iod(I)‐basierten Halogenbrücken‐Organokatalysator erreicht. Die entscheidende Rolle der Halogenbrücken wurde durch das schlechte Abschneiden des entsprechenden Wasserstoffbrückendonors und durch DFT‐Berechnungen ...

Highly Enantioselective Organocatalysis with Bidentate Halogen Bond Donors
In a model Mukaiyama aldol reaction with unbiased substrates, high enantioselectivity was achieved with a modifiable bidentate iodine(I)‐based halogen bonding organocatalyst. The crucial role of halogen bonding was confirmed by the low performance of the corresponding hydrogen bond donor and via DFT calculations.

Examining the regulatory value of multi-route mammalian acute systemic toxicity studies [PDF]
Regulatory information requirements for pesticides call for submission of acute systemic toxicity data for up to three different exposure routes (oral, dermal, inhalation) for both active ingredients and formulated products.
