The long chain free fatty acid receptor 4 (FFA4/GPR120) has recently been recognized as lipid sensor playing important roles in nutrient sensing and inflammation and thus holds potential as a therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. To explore the effects of stimulating this receptor in animal models of metabolic disease, we initiated work to identify agonists with appropriate pharmacokinetic properties to support progression into in vivo studies. Extensive SAR studies of a series of phenylpropanoic acids led to the identification of compound 29, a FFA4 agonist which lowers plasma glucose in two preclinical models of type 2 diabetes.

Sewage sludge-derived carbonaceous materials (SW) treated with different kinds of acids were used as catalysts for catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) of m-cresol. The SW catalysts were characterized by XRF, XRD, FTIR, XPS and TPD-MS. The results showed that SW treated with HNO3 (HNO3-SW) exhibited the best catalytic activity. When the initial concentration of m-cresol was 5000 mg L-1, the conversion of m-cresol reached 99.0% with HNO3-SW after 90 min at 160 °C and 0.66 MPa oxygen. Continuous experiments were carried out for 8 d to investigate the durability and catalytic performance of HNO3-SW in CWAO reaction. Some correlation was observed between the conversion of m-cresol and the content of carboxyl groups, indicating that the carboxyl group might play a key role in determining the catalytic activity of SW catalysts in CWAO reaction. Based on the intermediate products identified by GC-MS, HPLC-MS, IC and HRMS analyses, the oxidation pathways of m-cresol in CWAO were proposed.

Here the aromatic formylation mediated by TiCl4 and dichloromethyl methyl ether previously described by our group has been explored for a wide range of aromatic rings, including phenols, methoxy- and methylbenzenes, as an excellent way to produce aromatic aldehydes. Here we determine that the regioselectivity of this process is highly promoted by the coordination between the atoms present in the aromatic moiety and those in the metal core.

Photochemical synthesis, conformational analysis, and transformation of [60]fullerene-o-quinodimethane adducts bearing a hydroxy group

, p. 1247 - 1252 (2007/10/03)
The photochemical reactions of [60]fullerene with various aromatic aldehydes or ketones 1a-n carrying an alkyl group at the ortho position were examined. Some of them afforded stable o-quinodimethane adducts 2 with a hydroxy group attached to the cyclohexene ring. The adducts 2 were found to adopt one or both of two conformers A and E, which possess pseudoaxial and pseudoequatorial hydroxy groups, respectively. The conformer ratios depended remarkably on the substituents attached to the aromatic nucleus and the cyclohexene ring. The dynamic behavior of 2 was also investigated by the VT-NMR technique.
