New biologically active substances isolated from natural sources provide valuable information
on structural motifs that are important for a specifi c type of activity and can also be used
as drugs or serve as raw materials for chemical modifi cation in order to develop new pharmaceuticals.
This review considers natural antibiotics combining two pharmacophores in their
structure: a redox-active naphthoquinone moiety and a membrane-active polyol macrolide.
Data on their structures and the spectrum of biological activity are summarized.

Background Cardiac fibrosis represents a significant health burden, with endothelial dysfunction and damaged
perivascular microenvironment increasingly recognized as key contributors to fibrotic remodeling. The urokinase
plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), a critical component of the urokinase system, plays a pivotal role in vascular
remodeling and fibrosis. While prior evidence indicates that uPAR deficiency leads to microvascular dysfunction and
perivascular fibrosis, ...

Solubility is a crucial property of organic compounds, impacting their potential applications in synthetic chemistry, materials science and drug design. Moreover, in technological processes mixtures of solvents are often utilized, making the solubility assessment more complicated. Predicting solubility values in mixtures of solvents from a molecular structure can help to address this issue, although a ...

Heterostructures based on ZnO nanorods and CsPbBr3 nanocrystals were investigated for their potential as semiconductor SERS substrates. We found that ZnO morphology governs the efficiency of interfacial energy transfer, leading to enhanced photoluminescence under 390 nm excitation and a noticeable reduction of the bandgap in the composites. Raman analysis revealed a pronounced intensity enhancement and ...

The conformational mobility of the [8-EtO-8’-I-3,3’-Co(1,2-C2B9H10)2]− anion, which has been chosen as a model compound for many potential drugs based on cobalt bis(dicarbollide), was studied by 1H NMR spectroscopy, single crystal X-ray diffraction and quantum chemical calculations. According to the results of quantum chemical calculations, the most favourable conformation for [8-EtO-8’-I-3,3’-Co(1,2-C2B9H10)2]− is the transoid conformation, which is stabilized by one ...

Проведено квантово-химическое моделирование механизма экстракции Fe(III) из солянокислого раствора с использованием гидрофобных эвтектических растворителей на основе 1-октанола. Установлено, что путь реакции существенно различается в зависимости от того, является ли инертный компонент донором или акцептором водородной связи в димере с октанолом. На основе оценки прочности водородных связей показано, что более слабое взаимодействие между компонентами упрощает протекание ...

A new approach to managing the extraction properties of eutectic solvents based on aliphatic alcohols is proposed. Aliphatic alcohols, when functioning as hydrogen bond donors within a eutectic solvent, significantly enhance the solvent’s efficiency in extracting metal ions. Conversely, when the alcohol acts as a hydrogen bond acceptor, its extraction properties diminish. Molecular modelling reveals ...

The reactivity of polar vinyl monomers, unsaturated compounds containing functional groups, depends on the presence or absence of conjugation between the C=C bond and the neighbouring unsaturated moieties or donor heteroatoms. Conjugated polar vinyl monomers (acrylates, vinyl ethers, etc.) (co)polymerize upon free-radical initiation. The reaction is widely used to produce numerous polymer materials that qualitatively differ ...

Silica-supported chromium oxide catalysts, also named Phillips chromium catalysts (PCCs), provide more than half of the world’s production of high- and medium-density polyethylenes. PCCs are usually prepared in the Cr(VI)/SiO2 form, which is subjected to reductive activation. It has been explicitly proven that CO reduces Cr(VI) to Cr(II) species that initiate ethylene polymerization; ethylene activates ...

The reaction of copper(I) phenylacetylide [PhC ≡ CCu]n with the 2-pyridylphosphines (tBu2PyP and Ph2PyP) offers a straightforward route to structurally diverse clusters. With tBu2PyP, a trinuclear cluster [Cu3(C ≡ CPh)3(tBu2PyP)3] featuring a Cu3 triangular was isolated. Surprisingly, the reaction of [PhC ≡ CCu]n with Ph2PyP yields two isomeric clusters [Cu4(C ≡ CPh)4(Ph2PyP)4] with tetrahedral or zigzag-arranged Cu4 cores. Upon prolonged storage in acetonitrile, the tetrahedral Cu4 cluster converts to ...

The dipolar [3+2]-cycloaddition reactions of 3-aroylpyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzothiazine-1,2,4-triones with diarylnitrones lead to the formation of benzo[b]isoxazolo[5',4':2,3]pyrrolo[1,2-d][1,4]thiazines. The reac- tion proceeds stereoselectively to form exclusively the (2aS*,3R*,5aS*) diastereomers. Density functional theory computations for the model reaction showed that the (2aS*,3R*,5aS*) diastereomers are both kinetically and thermodynamically preferred over the alternative (2aS*,3S*,5aS*) diastereomers. At room temperature in solution, the ...
