Under mild conditions (room temperature, 80 psi of H2) Cp*Rh(2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl)H catalyzes the selective hydrogenation of the C═C bond in α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, including natural product precursors with bulky substituents in the β position and substrates possessing an array of additional functional groups. It also catalyzes the hydrogenation of many isolated double bonds. Mechanistic studies reveal that no radical intermediates are involved, and the catalyst appears to be homogeneous, thereby affording important complementarity to existing protocols for similar hydrogenation processes.

Ample evidence suggests that H2S is an important biological mediator, produced by endogenous enzymes and microbiota. So far, several techniques including colorimetric methods, electrochemical analysis and sulfide precipitation have been developed for H2S detection. These methods provide sensitive detection, however, they are destructive for tissues and require tedious sequences of preparation steps for the analyzed samples. Here, we report synthesis of a new fluorescent probe for H2S detection, 4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl 5-azidopentanoate (1). The design of 1 is based on combination of two strategies for H2S detection, i.e., reduction of an azido group to an amine in the presence of H2S and intramolecular lactamization. Finally, we measured salivary H2S concentration in healthy, 18–40-year-old volunteers immediately after obtaining specimens. The newly developed self-immolative coumarin-based fluorescence probe (C15H15N3O4) showed high sensitivity to H2S detection in both sodium phosphate buffer at physiological pH and in saliva. Salivary H2S concentration in healthy volunteers was within a range of 1.641–7.124 μM.

The acylation of alcohols, phenols, amines, and thiophenols was accomplished with 0.5 mol % of tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane [B(C 6F5)3] at ambient temperature under solvent-free condition. Major advantages of this method include high yield, short reaction time, simple procedure, compatibility with sensitive protecting groups as well as other functional groups, absence of racemization of optical active compounds, and epimerization of sugars.

A series of propiophenone derivatives (6-23) have been synthesized and evaluated for their in vivo antihyperglycemic activities in sucrose loaded model (SLM), sucrose challenged streptozotocin (STZ-S) induced diabetic rat model and C57BL/KsJ db/db diabetic mice model. Compound 15 and 16 were emerged as potent antihyperglycemics and lipid lowering agents. These compounds (15, 16) further validate the potency by reducing body weight and food intake in db/db mice model. Possible mechanism of action for the propiophenone derivatives was established by the evaluation in various in vitro models. Interestingly some of the compounds were efficiently inhibiting PTP-1B.
Structure activity studies with xenobiotic substrates using carboxylesterases isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana

Carboxylesterases (CXEs) catalyse the hydrolysis of xenobiotics and natural products radically altering their biological activities. Whereas the substrate selectivity of animal CXEs, such as porcine liver esterase (PLE) have been well studied, the respective enzymes in plants have yet to be defined and their activities determined. Using Arabidopsis thaliana (At) as a source, five representative members of the α/β hydrolase AtCXE family of proteins have been cloned, expressed and the purified recombinant proteins assayed for esterase activity with xenobiotic substrates. Two members, AtCXE5 and AtCXE18 were found to be active carboxylesterases, though AtCXE5 proved to be highly unstable as a soluble protein. AtCXE18 and the previously characterised S-formylglutathione hydrolase from Arabidopsis (AtSFGH) were assayed against a series of esters based on methylumbelliferone in which the acyl moiety was varied with respect to size and conformation. The same series was used to assay crude esterase preparation from Arabidopsis plants and the results compared with those obtained with the commonly used PLE. With straight chain esters, AtCXE18 behaved like PLE, but the Arabidopsis hydrolases proved less tolerant of branched chain acyl components than the mammalian enzyme. While none of the enzyme preparations accurately reflected all the activities determined with crude Arabidopsis protein extracts, the plant enzymes proved more useful than PLE in predicting the hydrolysis of the more sterically constrained esters.
