Dechloranes, including Dechlorane Plus (syn- and anti-isomers), Dechlorane 602, Dechlorane 603, Dechlorane 604, Chlordene Plus, and Mirex are used as flame-retardants and were recently found in human serum of the European population. In order to investigate if food consumption would possibly be ...

Dechlorane 602 (Dec 602), Dechlorane 603 (Dec 603), Dechlorane 604 (Dec 604), Dechlorane 604 component B (Dec 604 CB) and Dechlorane Plus (DP) were analyzed in soil and fish collected across e-waste recycling sites in Guiyu. The results indicate that soil and fish are contaminated with dechloran...

Human exposure to dechloranes has been evaluated in Western Europe (France) with the analysis of Dechlorane Plus (DP), Dechloranes (Dec) 602, 603 and 604, Chlordene Plus (CP) and Mirex in 48 serum samples collected between 2003 and 2005. While no production source has been identified in Europe u...

We measured the concentrations of 60 flame retardants (and related compounds) in fish samples collected in the Great Lakes basin. These analytes include dechlorane-related compounds (Decs), organophosphate esters (OPEs), and brominated flame retardants (BFRs). Composite lake trout (Salvelinus na...

Dechlorane compounds, including Dechlorane Plus (DP), mirex, and Dechlorane (Dec) 602, 603 and 604, were measured in 61 serum samples collected from a Korean urban area (Seoul) in 2013. Dechlorane Plus and Dec 602 were dominant in most samples, whereas Dec 604 was not detected in any samples. Th...

Dechlorane Related Compounds (DRCs), including Dechlorane Plus (syn/anti-DP or syn/anti-DDC-CO) and related compounds (Dec-601 or DDC-ID, Dec-602 or DDC-DBF, Dec-603 or DDC-Ant and Chlordene Plus or DDC-PDD), are a group of polychlorinated flame retardants of concern since they were first report...

Dechlorane Plus (DP) is a flame retardant used as a substitute of Mirex since 1970s, but it was not detected in the environment until 2006. Since then, this compound and its main relatives, Dechlorane 602, 603 and 604, have been mainly studied in environmental matrices for monitoring purposes, b...

The asymmetric synthesis of two 5-lipoxygenase inhibitors (R)-N-1-(benzofuran-2-yl)ethyl-N-hydroxyurea, 99% ee, and (R)-N-1-(benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)ethyl-N-hydroxyurea, 95% ee, is described. The enantioselective reduction of 1-(benzofuran-2-yl)ethanone oxime O-benzyl ether and 1-(benzo[b]thiophen...

The photolysis of 3-ethoxyimino-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one 1 with λ 254 nm has been investigated in acetonitrile as solvent. Photoexcited 1 undergoes N-O bond homolysis with formation of a cyclic α-oxo-iminyl and an ethoxy radical. Cage recombination of these radicals affords th...

Aiming to identify novel potent ALK and ROS1 dual inhibitors, the relatively bulky piperidine fragment in ceritinib was replaced with substituted imidazolidin-2-one moiety which gave rise to a series of 2,4-diaryl-aminopyrimidine (DAAP) analogs (6–33). SAR studies were conducted based on cellul...

As a result of the various N-bicyclo-5-chloro-1H-indole-2-carboxamide derivatives with a hydroxy moiety synthesized in an effort to discover novel glycogen phosphorylase (GP) inhibitors, 5-chloro-N-(5-hydroxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl)-1H-indole-2-carboxamide (5b) was found to have poten...

Different N,N-diacylaniline derivatives such as N-acetyl-N-(2-methoxyphenyl)acetamide, N-acetyl-N-(2-Methoxy-phenyl)-4-nitrobenzamide, N-(4-nitrobenzamide)-N-(2-Methoxy-phenyl)-4-bromobenzamide, N-Acetyl-4-nitro-N-o-tolyl-benzamide, N-Acetyl-N-o-tolyl-acetamide, and 2-Chloro-N-(2-chloro-acetyl)-...

3-Aminopropyl glycosides of a series of linear β-(1→3)-linked d-glucooligosaccharides containing from 3 to 13 monosaccharide units were efficiently prepared. The synthetic scheme featured highly regioselective glycosylation of 4,6-O-benzylidene-protected 2,3-diol glycosyl acceptors with a disa...

2-Azido-2-deoxy-1-thioglucoside donors with an electron withdrawing group at position 6 were employed to study the stereoselectivity of the glycosylation reaction with several acceptors, ranging from unhindered small primary alcohols to other sugars and steroids, using NIS/TfOH as promoter. p-To...

Here we demonstrate that the thiol-reactive, environmentally sensitive fluorogenic molecules 6-bromoacetyl-2-dimethylaminonaphthalene and 6-acryloyl-2-dimethylaminonaphthalene are substrates for glutathione transferases (GSTs). Product formation can be measured by strong increase in fluorescence...

Microglia are the prime effector cells involved in immune and inflammatory responses in the central nervous system (CNS). In pathological conditions, microglia are activated to restore CNS homeostasis. However, chronic microglial activation endangers neuronal survival through the release of vari...

Three fluorescent probes have been developed by conjugating three different BODIPY donors to rhodamine and merocyanine acceptors for ratiometric determination of lysosomal pH variations. Probe A consists of a 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-BODIPY donor and a near-infrared rhodamine acceptor bearing a lysos...

With an increased use of color dye in textile industries and elevated fabrics output, more scientific studies and technology developments are needed to effectively treat wastewater containing dyes. However, better understanding of the interactions between dyes and suspended solids is a necessity...

Dendrimeric rhodamine-derived chemosensor for highly selective determination of Au in aqueous acidic solutions has been developed. The response mechanism is based on the destruction of the dendrimeric molecule to provide fluorescence enhancement via reducing intramolecular quenching. The probe e...
