Metal dihydride dihydrogen‐derived intermediates can be short‐lived and difficult to detect despite their ubiquitous role in chemical transformations such as hydrogenation. Here, highly reactive [Ir(H)3(η2‐η2‐COD)(IMes)] forms by trapping [Ir(H)2(η2‐H2)(η2‐η2‐COD)(IMes)]X [X=Cl or MeO], resulting from reaction of the Ir(I) precatalyst [IrCl(η2‐η2‐COD)(IMes)] with a base and H2. This trihydride allows access to the unusual [Ir2(H)4(OMe)(IMes)2(pyridine)3]X, [Ir2(H)2(μ2‐H)2(η2‐η2‐COD)(IMes)2], [Ir3(H)9(IMes)3], [Ir4(H)12(IMes)4] and [Ir2(H)4(μ2‐H)2(IMes)2(pyridine)2]. A combination of 2D NMR, parahydrogen hyperpolarized NMR, MS, and XRD are used to characterise these reaction products and rationalise their formation via the moiety {Ir(H)3(IMes)}. Consequently, the results of these studies have implications for iridium‐catalyzed polarization transfer from parahydrogen via the well‐known precursor [IrCl(η2‐η2‐COD)(IMes)].

The Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technique was used to analyse the complex permittivity spectra of the Pyridine-n-propyl alcohol mixture across the concentration and temperature range of 10–25°C. The Cole-Davidson model was used to match the Pyridine- n-propyl alcohol complex permittivity spectra. The nonlinear least squares fit approach has been used to obtain the Static dielectric constant (ε0), Relaxation time (τ), Effective Kirkwood correlation factor (geff) Excess permittivity$\left({\varepsilon _0^E} \right)$ε0E, Thermodynamic parameters (activation enthalpy and activation entropy), and Bruggeman factor (fB). Furthermore, the analysis of excess characteristics and the Bruggeman factor points towards the presence of hydrogen bonding between the pyridine and n-propyl alcohol molecules.

Metal‐free synthesis of heterocycles is highly sought after in the pharmaceutical industry and has garnered widespread attention due to eliminating the need to remove trace metal catalysts from the reaction. We report a radical 6‐endo addition method for pyridine synthesis from cyclopropylamides and alkynes under metal‐free conditions. Various terminal and substituted alkynes are inserted as C2 units into cyclopropylamides to synthesize versatile pyridines with 57 examples. Mechanistic investigations and computational studies indicate the unprecedented 6‐endo‐trig addition of vinyl radicals to the imine nitrogen atom rather than the conventional 5‐exo‐trig addition to the imine carbon atom, in which the hypervalent iodine(III) plays a critical role. This reaction easily scales up with excellent functional group compatibility and suits the late‐stage pyridine installation on complex molecules. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ABSTRACT Here, we have succeeded in developing an eco‐efficient, mild, and metal‐free synthetic protocol for biologically significant scaffolds: imidazopyridines and their derivatives via radical cyclization from a wide variety of simple 2‐aminopyridines and phenacyl bromides as reactants and utilizing visible light as a reaction promoter in the ethanol/water solvent. To the best of our knowledge, the present strategy is the first example of visible light promoted synthesis of imidazo[1,2‐a]pyridine via the formation of C‐N bonds. The proposed methodology has various advantages namely quick reaction time, low cost, simple setup, high atom efficiency, easy‐availability of reactants and non‐involvement of specific glasswares and photo reactor system.

Calix[n]porphyrinoids containing both sp2 and sp3meso‐carbons can bind metals like porphyrinoids and anions like calix[n]pyrroles. Thus, calix[n]porphyrinoids are hybrid macrocycles of porphyrinoids and calix[n]pyrroles. The core‐modified calix[n]porphyrinoids resulted by replacing one or more pyrroles of calix[n]porphyrinoids with different heterocycles or carbacycles that possesses very attractive structural, spectral, and coordination properties. For the past two decades, several different types of core‐modified calix[n]porphyrinoids in which one or more pyrroles were replaced with other heterocycles such as thiophene, selenophene, tellurophene, silole, phosphole, pyridine, etc and carbacycles such as m/p‐phenylene have been synthesized and explored their structure, metal coordination and anion sensing properties. This review describes different synthetic strategies used for the synthesis of various types of core‐modified calix[4]phyrins and expanded calix[n]phyrins and discusses their key structural aspects, properties, coordination chemistry and applications.

To evaluate bifunctional ligand reactivity involving NH acidic sites in the secondary coordination sphere, complexes where the proton has been substituted with a methyl group (NMe) are often investigated. An alternative strategy involves substitution of the NH group for an O. This contribution considers and compares the merits of these approaches; the synthesis and characterization of cationic square‐planar Rh carbonyl complexes bearing diprotic bispyrazole pyridine ligand L1, and the bis‐methylated pyrazole pyridine ligand L1Me are described. The syntheses and characterization of the novel monoprotic pyrazole isoxazole pyridine ligand L2 and aprotic bisisoxazole pyridine ligand L3, and their corresponding Rh carbonyl complexes are also described. Comparison of the CO stretching frequencies of the four Rh complexes suggest that substitutions of NH with NMe, as well as with O, lead to significant electronic differences. These electronic differences result in different reactivities with respect to ligand addition/substitution of the Rh carbonyl complexes. Overall, the data suggest that electronic differences arising due to the NH substitutions can be significant and should be considered when the NH group is substituted in investigations of the participation of the NH proton in a reaction.

3‐Hydroxypyridines are attractive owing to their potential applications in medicinal chemistry. However, only a few reports on the synthesis of 2,4,6‐trisubstituted 3‐hydroxypyridines have been published to date. Herein, we describe a novel method for synthesizing 2,4,6‐trisubstituted 3‐hydroxypyridines. Au(III)‐catalyzed reactions using C‐alkynyl‐O‐vinyl oximes via intramolecular nucleophilic addition, followed by skeletal rearrangement, including N−O bond cleavage. This protocol provides unprecedented 25 examples of 2,4,6‐trisubstituted 3‐hydroxypyridines with good functional and bulky‐group tolerances. Mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction proceeds through the generation of isoxazolium and nitrene species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ABSTRACT A new Schiff base ligand, HNMPC, was prepared and reacted with some metal ions, including Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Mn(II), and VO(IV). The infrared, electronic, mass, electron spin resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance, thermal and elemental analysis, molar conductance, and magnetic susceptibility measurements were used to characterize the metal complexes. The HNMPC ligand acts as a monoanionic tridentate ONO donor in all complexes, and the coordinating sites are C=Opyridone, C=N, and the phenolate anion. All metal complexes exhibit octahedral configurations, and the results showed that the metal ion:ligand ratio was 1:2. The molecular structural parameters of the ligand and its metal complexes were determined based on the DFT level implemented in the Gaussian 09 program B3LYP/GENECP method at the 6‐311G(d,p) basis set for C, H, N, and O atoms and the SDD (Stuttgart/Dresden) basis set for the metal atoms. The theoretical data were correlated with the experimental results. Gram‐positive bacteria, Gram‐negative bacteria, yeast, and fungi were used to test the current compounds' antimicrobial activity. Investigating the antitumor activity of the ligand and its complexes against the HepG2 cell lines showed encouraging IC50 values that were on par with those of cisplatin. In order to determine the affinity and binding pattern for the synthesized compounds toward the VEGFR‐2 active site, molecular docking studies were conducted, and the results were correlated with antitumor data. Based on the obtained results, future work aimed to synthesize a new category of Schiff bases and their metal complexes derived from the current aminopyridine derivative with diverse aldehydes and ketones.

Despite the existence of three competing reactions for propargyloxyoxindoles, we report a chemoselectivity switch between enantioselective propargyl [2,3]‐Wittig rearrangement and Conia‐ene‐type reactions, with suppression of the [1,2]‐Wittig‐type rearrangement. Using C1‐symmetric imidazolidine‐pyrroloimidazolone pyridine as the ligand and Ni(acac)2 as the Lewis acid, diverse 3‐hydroxy 3‐substituted oxindoles containing allenyl groups were obtained in up to 98 % yield and 99 % ee via asymmetric propargyl [2,3]‐Wittig rearrangement. In the presence of AgOTf‐Duanphos, chiral spiro dihydrofuran oxindoles were given in up to 98 % yield and 91 % ee through a Conia‐ene‐type reaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ABSTRACT The primary objective of this study was to explore the synthesis of novel dihydrocyclopenta[b]pyrrole derivatives with a high degree of efficiency. The work utilized a nanocatalyst composed of Ag/Fe3O4@MWCNTs in a multicomponent reaction including vinilydene aldehydes, ethyl 2‐amino‐4‐dioxo‐4‐arylbutanoates, and alkyl bromides. The reaction was carried out in aqueous solution at ambient temperature, leading to the formation of novel chemicals. The produced compounds exhibit antioxidant activity as a result of the evaluation processes performed on their NH group. Furthermore, an evaluation was performed on the antibacterial effectiveness of newly produced pyridines using a disk diffusion technique, utilizing two different strains of Gram‐negative bacteria. Significantly, the substances that were evaluated shown inhibitory effects on the development of Gram‐positive bacteria as well. This method has several benefits, including quick response times, high product yields, and easy separation of catalyst and product through simple procedures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Two new two-dimensional (2D) coordination polymers, [FeII(L)2{PdII(SCN)4}] (L1 = 2-methoxypyrazine, 1; and L2 = (E)-3-(phenyldiazenyl)pyridine, 2), were successfully constructed by using square-planar [Pd(SCN)4]2− building blocks. Complex 1 exhibits complete and one-step spin-crossover (SCO) behavior, while 2 exhibits incomplete and two-step SCO behavior. Further structural insight into this synergy reveals that the flat/flexing [Fe{Pd(SCN)4}]∞ sheets in 1 and 2 are stabilized by interlayered/intralayered supramolecular interactions.

Upon reaction with α,β‐unsaturated nitriles (2 a–d) and/or salicylaldehyde, 3‐(naphthalen‐2‐yl)‐3‐oxopropanenitrile (1) yields pyridine derivatives 3 a–d and/or the imino chromene derivative 4. Compound 1 reacted with phenyl isothiocyanate in a basic medium to give the intermediate potassium salt 6. Upon stirring at room temperature, the intermediate 6 with some α‐halogenated compounds yielded the acyclic compounds 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15. On the other hand, refluxing intermediate 6 with the same α‐halogenated compounds in DMF in the presence of TEA afforded the corresponding thiophene derivatives 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16. The reaction of thiol 17 with hydrazine hydrate derivatives 18 a–d yielded the corresponding pyrazole derivatives 21 a–d. Compound 20 reacted with o‐phenylenediamine or o‐aminothiophenol in the presence of DMF/TEA to give the corresponding benzothiazole or benzoimidazole derivatives 27 a and 27 b, respectively. Thirty new synthesized compounds were examined for their antibacterial activity against Gram‐positive bacteria including S. aureus and B. subtilis, Gram‐negative bacteria such as P. aeruginosa and E. coli, and yeast‐like fungi like C. albicans in vitro. Compounds 15, 16, 21 d, 27 a, 27 b, exhibited the highest antibacterial activity against Gram‐positive bacteria. Molecular docking experiments were conducted to explore the binding affinities and interaction modalities of selected derivatives with the target PDB‐3cmt protein. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study describes the synthesis of N5‐(4‐(1H‐benzo[d]imidazol‐2‐yl)phenyl)‐N2‐phenylpyridine‐2,5‐diamine derivatives from Orthophenylenediamine (1) and 4‐aminobenzoic acid (2) and all the synthesized chemical moieties screened against a panel of cancer cell lines resulted in the identification compound 6 a with good anti‐cancer potential and a GI50 of 2.95 μM, 3.35 μM, 2.27 μM, 8.46 nM and 1.56 μM against MDAMB‐231, MCF‐7, A‐549, NCI‐H23 and A‐498 respectively. As the second greatest cause of death globally, cancer continues to pose a serious threat to public health. An essential enzyme called aromatase catalyses the last, rate‐limiting step in the production of oestrogens. As a well‐researched endocrine therapeutic strategy, aromatase inhibitors (AIs) efficiently block the production of oestrogen, which is necessary for aromatase activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Dihydroxy-based polar organic cages (DIHO-cages) are reported to selectively separate toluene with 99.5% purity from an equimolar toluene/pyridine mixture, resulting in subsequent superior purification of pyridine. The efficient separation and purification, enhanced by strong and multiple host/guest C–H⋯O interactions between the cage and toluene, showcases DIHO-cages as a suitable candidate for the remarkable separation of such azeotropes on an industrial scale.

Rh(III) and Ru(II) complexes, [RhCl2(κ4‐N2N'P‐L)][SbF6] (1) and [RuCl2(κ4‐N2N'P‐L)] (2), were synthesised using the tetradentate ligand L (L=N,N‐bis[(pyridin‐2‐yl)methyl]‐[2‐(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]methanamine). In each case only one diastereomer is detected, featuring cis‐disposed pyridine groups. The chloride ligand trans to pyridine can be selectively abstracted by AgSbF6, with the ruthenium complex (2) reacting more readily at room temperature compared to the rhodium complex (1) which requires elevated temperatures. Rhodium complexes avoid the second chloride abstraction, whereas ruthenium complexes can form the chiral bisacetonitrile complex [Ru(κ4‐N2N'P‐L)(NCMe)2][SbF6]2 (5) upon corresponding treatment with AgSbF6. The complex [RhCl2(κ4‐N2N'P‐L)][SbF6] (1) has also been used to synthesise polymetallic species, such as the tetrametallic complex [{RhCl2(κ4‐N2N'P‐L)}2(μ‐Ag)2][SbF6]4 (6) which was formed with complete diastereoselectivity and chiral molecular self‐recognition. In addition, a stable bimetallic mixed‐valence complex [{Rh(κ4‐N2N'P‐L)}{Rh(COD)}(μ‐Cl)2][SbF6]2 (7) (COD=cyclooctadiene) was synthesised. These results highlight the significant differences in chloride lability between Rh3+ and Ru2+ complexes and demonstrate the potential for complexes to act as catalyst precursors and ligands in further chemistry applications.

Pyridine-based scaffolds sparked tremendous scientific interest in discovering new active components in medicinal areas. Methods: Here we report the synthesis of pyridine-clubbed hydrazide with substituted aldehyde building blocks via a green chemistry approach. In this work, we demonstrate the synthesis of a small library of compounds via enaminone to Schiff base formation by using microwave techniques. Moreover, the final moieties' drug-likeness profile and toxic effects were assessed by in silico ADMET prediction analysis. Results and Discussion: Synthesized compounds were characterized by MS, FT-IR, 1H, 13C NMR, and other analytical techniques. Furthermore, synthesized compounds (IVa–IVj) were screened against Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and fungal stains for their antimicrobial assay using the broth dilution method and Ciprofloxacin, and nystatin were used as standards. Conclusions: The result shows that at a concentration of 25 µg/mL, the compounds with substitutions in thio, indole, and pyridine (IVc), (IVd), and (IVh) had excellent antibacterial activity and compounds with substituted chloro and methoxy (IVb) and (IVi) exhibited excellent antifungal activity at a concentration of 100 µg/mL.

In ACTH-dependent Cushing syndrome, identifying the source of ACTH can be challenging. A 23-year-old male presented with Cushingoid symptoms and signs to other clinics. Laboratory tests confirmed ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome. Imaging revealed a suspicious adenoma in the pituitary, a hypoechoic nodule in the thyroid, and pathological-appearing lymph nodes in the neck. Following a fine needle aspiration cytological examination, medullary thyroid carcinoma was diagnosed. A total thyroidectomy and lymph node dissection were subsequently performed. The pathology report confirmed medullary thyroid carcinoma. When the patient was admitted to our hospital, disease recurrence was considered, and lymph node ACTH washout was performed as an unusual method to identify the source of ACTH. The washout sample yielded a very high value of 958 pg/mL. We describe a patient who was hospitalized with severe symptoms of Cushing's syndrome resulting from medullary thyroid cancer. We employed a novel method involving lymph node ACTH washout to identify the source of ACTH production. Lymph node ACTH washout can be an effective diagnostic option to determine the origin of ACTH.

Three bis(imidazo[1,5‐a]pyridine)methane derivatives (bis(1‐methylimidazo[1,5‐a]pyridin‐3‐yl)methane, LH; 3,3'‐(ethane‐1,1‐diyl)bis(1‐methylimidazo[1,5‐a]pyridine) LMe; 3,3'‐(2‐phenylethane‐1,1‐diyl)bis(1‐methylimidazo[1,5‐a]pyridine), LBz) have been synthesized, and fully characterized in solution (1H and 13C NMR spectra) and in the solid state (X‐ray). In particular, LH has been prepared in high yield (75 %) under very mild conditions (water, 60 °C), offering an alternative route to those reported in the literature. LMe and LBz have been obtained from LH by functionalization of the methylene bridge. The bis(imidazo[1,5‐a]pyridine)methane compounds have been coordinated to a zinc(II) center, leading to tetrahedral complexes of general formula [Zn(LR)2](ClO4)2 (R=H, Me, Bz), which showed a bright fluorescent emission with (x,y) color coordinates very close to standard blue. TD‐DFT have been employed to describe the Frontier Molecular Orbitals (FMOs) participating in electronic transitions, highlighting the main transition as 1(π‐π*) transition in the bis(imidazo[1,5‐a]pyridine)methane and a mixed intra‐ligand (1ILT) and ligand‐to‐ligand (1LLT) transition in the complexes.

Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in heat-induced skeletal muscle (SKM) injury and its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Evidence suggests that cellular ions and molecules, including divalent cations and adenine nucleotides, are involved in the regulation of mitochondrial function. In this study, we examined Ca2+, Mg2+, and NAD+ levels in mouse C2C12 myoblasts and SKM in response to heat exposure. During heat exposure, mitochondrial Ca2+ levels increased significantly, whereas cytosolic Ca2+ levels remained unaltered. The mitochondrial Ca2+ levels in the SKM of heat-exposed mice were 28% higher compared to control mice. No changes in cytosolic Ca2+ were detected between the two groups. Following heat exposure, cytosolic and mitochondrial Mg2+ levels were reduced by 47% and 23% in C2C12 myoblasts, and by 51% and 44% in mouse SKMs, respectively. In addition, heat exposure decreased mitochondrial NAD+ levels by 32% and 26% in C2C12 myoblasts and mouse SKMs, respectively. Treatment with the NAD+ precursor nicotinamide riboside (NR) partially prevented heat-induced depletion of NAD+. Additionally, NR significantly reduced heat-increased mitochondrial fission, mitochondrial depolarization, and apoptosis in C2C12 myoblasts and mouse SKMs. No effects of NR on heat-induced changes in intracellular Ca2+ and Mg2+ levels were observed. This study provides in vitro and in vivo evidence that acute heat stress causes alterations in mitochondrial Ca2+, Mg2+, and NAD+ homeostasis. Our results suggest mitochondrial NAD+ homeostasis as a therapeutic target for the prevention of heat-induced SKM injury. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Environmental exposure is associated with increased incidence of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and reduced fertility. Exposure to air pollution can influence gene expression through epigenetic mechanisms. In this study, we analysed gene-specific CpG methylation in spermatozoa of city policemen occupationally exposed to air pollution in two Czech cities differing by sources and composition of the air pollution. In Prague, the pollution is mainly formed by NO2 from heavy traffic. Ostrava is a hotspot of industrial air pollution with high concentrations of particular matter (PM) and benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P). We performed genome-wide methylation sequencing using the SureSelectXT Human Methyl-Seq system (Agilent Technologies) and next-generation sequencing to reveal differentially methylated CpG sites and regions. We identified differential methylation in the region chr5:662169 – 663376 annotated to genes CEP72 and TPPP. The region was then analysed in sperm DNA from 117 policemen using targeted methylation sequencing, which proved its hypermethylation in sperm of Ostrava policemen. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background and objective: Multiple randomized controlled studies have shown that pirfenidone and nintedanib are effective and safe for treating idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. This study aimed to evaluate their efficacy, safety, and tolerability in a real-world setting. Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases for real-world studies published up to March 3, 2023, on pirfenidone and nintedanib for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Results: A total of 74 studies with 23,119 participants were included. After 12 months of treatment, the change from baseline in percent predicted FVC (%FVC) was − 0.75% for pirfenidone and − 1.43% for nintedanib. The change from baseline in percent predicted DLCO (%DCLO) was − 2.32% for pirfenidone and − 3.95% for nintedanib. The incidence of acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AE-IPF) was 12.5% for pirfenidone and 14.4% for nintedanib. The IPF-related mortality rates of pirfenidone and nintedanib were 13.4% and 7.2%, respectively. The all-cause mortality was 20.1% for pirfenidone and 16.6% for nintedanib. In the pirfenidone group, 16.6% of patients discontinued treatment because of adverse events, and in the nintedanib group, 16.2% of patients discontinued treatment because of adverse events. The incidence of adverse events was 56.4% and 69.7% for pirfenidone and nintedanib, respectively. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that pirfenidone and nintedanib are both effective in slowing down the decline of lung function in IPF patients in real-world settings. The incidence of adverse events with pirfenidone is lower than that with nintedanib, but both are below the clinical trial data, and no new major adverse events have been observed. The discontinuation rates due to adverse reactions of the two drugs are consistent with clinical trial data, indicating good tolerability. However, the mortality rates and AE-IPF incidence rates of these two drugs in real-world settings are higher than those in previous clinical trials, with pirfenidone patients showing a higher mortality rate. Further large-sample studies are needed to investigate the risks of these drugs in these aspects. Additionally, we recommend that future real-world studies pay more attention to patients' subjective symptoms and conduct stratified analyses of the efficacy and safety of pirfenidone and nintedanib based on factors such as patients' baseline lung function, comorbidities, and age, in order to provide more personalized medication advice for IPF patients in clinical practice.

Dinitropyridines are one of the promising classes of heterocyclic compounds. They are considered as useful precursors of explosives and energetic compounds, agrochemicals, biosensors and biologically active compounds with diverse properties: antitumor, antiviral, anti‐neurodegenerative. Preliminary analysis of literature data shows that the chemistry of polynitropyridines has been actively developing over the past few decades. This is evidenced by the steadily growing annual number of publications. In this review the literature on the synthesis, reactions and practical application of isomeric dinitropyridines over a period of 2010–2024 is analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study investigates the direct carbonylation of glycerol using a composite photocatalyst (TiO2 loaded with cellulose) and 2-cyanopyridine as a waterreducing agent. In this research, the performance of the photocatalytic system was evaluated under different conditions, including various concentrations of 2-cyanopyridine, glycerol, and catalyst dosage, as well as changing the molar ratios of CO2 to glycerol and reaction times. The optimal conditions for achieving high glycerol conversion and GlyCO3 performance were determined, resulting in a glycerol conversion of 92.43% and a yield of 91.12% towards glycerol carbonate under these conditions. Increasing the concentration of 2-cyanopyridine up to 30 mmol enhanced GlyCO3 production. However, excessive amounts led to decreased yields due to catalyst site blockage. The influence of the CO2 to glycerol molar ratio on GlyCO3 yield was marginal within a certain concentration range, indicating a non-limiting CO2 supply. Catalyst loading significantly affected product yield, with higher concentrations promoting greater GlyCO3 formation. However, catalyst reusability tests revealed a decline in activity after recycling, attributed to drying-induced deactivation. These findings provide valuable insights into optimizing the cellulose-TiO2 photocatalyst for efficient glycerol carbonylation, contributing to the advancement of sustainable chemical processes.

Background: Rimegepant, a small molecule calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist, is indicated for acute and preventive migraine treatment in the United States and other countries. However, there is a lack of prospective real-world evidence for the use of rimegepant in Chinese migraine patients. Methods: This was a single-arm, prospective, real-world study. While taking rimegepant to treat migraine attacks as needed, eligible participants were asked to record their pain intensity, functional ability, and accompanying symptoms for a single attack at predose and 0.5, 1, 2, 24, and 48 h postdose via a digital platform. Adverse events (AEs) during the rimegepant treatment period were recorded and analysed. The percentages of participants who experienced moderate to severe pain at predose and 0.5, 1, 2, 24, and 48 h postdose were assessed. Additionally, the percentages of participants who reported better/good outcomes in terms of pain intensity, functional ability, and accompanying symptoms at 0.5, 1, 2, 24, and 48 h postdose were analysed. In addition, the total cohort (full population, FP) was stratified into a prior nonresponder (PNR) group to observe the effectiveness and safety of rimegepant for relatively refractory migraine and a rimegepant and eptinezumab (RE) group to observe the effectiveness and safety of the combination of these drugs. Results: By November 24th, 2023, 133 participants (FP, n = 133; PNR group, n = 40; RE group, n = 28) were enrolled, and 99 participants (FP, n = 99; PNR group, n = 30; RE group, n = 23) were included in the analysis. Rimegepant was effective in treating migraine in the FP and both subgroups, with a significant decreasing trend in the percentages of participants experiencing moderate to severe pain postdose (p < 0.05) and a marked increase in the percentages of participants who reported better/good outcomes in terms of pain intensity, functional ability, and accompanying symptoms at 0.5, 1, 2, 24, and 48 h postdose compared with predose. AEs were reported by 6% of participants in the FP, and all AEs were mild. Conclusions: In the real world, rimegepant is effective in the acute treatment of migraine patients in China. The low incidence rate of AEs highlighted the favourable tolerability profile of rimegepant. Trial registration: Clinicaltrials.gov NCT05709106. Retrospectively registered on 2023-02-01.

ABSTRACT We report here the preparation and characterization of new well‐defined silica‐supported Ti imido complexes that present an L‐ligand variation in a structure of currently the most active oxo/imido heterometathesis catalyst (≡SiO)Ti(=NtBu)(Me2Pyr)(py)2 (1s), where py is replaced with stronger electron‐donating 4‐(N,N‐dimethylamino)pyridine (2s) or bidentate 2,2′‐bipyridine (3s). The materials were characterized with elemental and mass balance analyses and IR and solid‐state NMR that confirmed the selective formation of surface Ti species with terminal imido ligand. Evaluation of the catalytic oxo/imido heterometathesis activity of the obtained materials demonstrated that L‐ligands have a pronounced influence on the catalytic performance. In particular, the replacement of pyridine with stronger donating ligands resulted in a significant drop of activity. The catalytic results are discussed in view of the reaction mechanism and implications for further catalyst development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Over the last three decades, owing to labour cost, time and especially environmental issues, one‐pot synthesis of heterocyclic compounds involving tandem or multicomponent (sequential or consecutive) reactions has gained particular attention worldwide. Most of the marketed drug molecules hold one or more heterocyclic rings. Due to some side effects of several drugs along with the gradual emergence of antimicrobial resistance, the necessity for developing new heterocyclic molecules continues; special attention should be paid in this respect towards employing more one‐pot reactions for their syntheses. Pyrazolopyridines are fused heterocycles holding pyridine and pyrazole and possess a wide variety of biological and pharmaceutical properties. Several existing drug molecules also bear pyrazolopyridine scaffolds. The present perspective is an endeavour to encompass green syntheses of different isomeric pyrazolopyridine systems, most of these published during the past five years or more for a few cases.

AbstractOrganic compounds that can show fluorescence are utilized for numerous applications. Scalable synthetic routes for such compounds are a great part of academic as well as technological investigations in this area. In addition to fluorescent properties, pyridine compounds have been proven for other applications, especially in biological studies. A one-pot synthetic procedure is presented and 16 (14 new) compounds of the 2-arylamino-3-cyanopiridine family are being reported for the first time. Analytical methods including CHN, NMR (1H and 13C), IR, and MS were used to characterize the newly reported compounds. They all show blue to green fluorescence when irradiated with UV light. A scalable approach is also presented with more than 95% yield for obtaining these compounds with a fairly facile workup. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Traditional methods relying on metal‐ligand cooperation for activating pyridine bonds in de‐ and rearomatisation are being challenged by the abundant metal‐free element species as alternatives. Here, we investigated the de/re‐aromatisation of pyridine facilitated by pyridylamino‐functionalised silylene reactions with ketones and ketene. The reactivity outcome is highly dependent on the substituents on the ketones. By carefully tuning the steric demand of the ketone, each intermediate of the reaction sequence could be isolated. At room temperature, benzophenone and acetophenone substrates led to dearomatisation of the pyridine moiety, with the case of acetophenone showing an intermediate silaoxirane preceding dearomatisation. However, when subjected to acetone or diphenylketene, only silaoxiranes were formed without dearomatisation of the pyridine moiety. Notably, only benzophenone‐derived dearomatised species demonstrated rearomatisation upon heating. Furthermore, the reduced steric bulk of the ketene facilitated further ring expansion with another equivalent of the substrate, forming sila‐1,3‐dioxolanes. Both steric hindrance and aromatic groups collectively influence the dearomatisation of pyridine in pyridylaminosilylene reactions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The molecular docking interactions between the phosphonate and DRP-1 target protein observed that compound 3d had the top-ranked binding energy towards DRP-1 with a value equal to − 9.54 kcal/mol and this theoretically proves its inhibitory efficacy against DRP-1 arbitrated mitochondrial fission. Besides, the anticancer characteristics of compound 3d showed the best IC50 against HepG-2, MCF-7, and Caco-2 which confirmed our results towards suppressing DRP-1 protein (in-silico), and it elucidated no cytotoxic effects against human normal cell line (WI-38). Further, its pharmacokinetics were observed theoretically using ADMET. Moreover,compound 3d investigated the most potent antimicrobial ability against two pathological fungal strains, A. flavus and C. albicans, and four bacterial strains, E. coli, B. subtillis, S. aureus, and P. aregeunosa. Additionally, compound 3d clarified a powerful antioxidant scavenging activity against DPPH and ABTS free radicals (in-vitro). Furthermore, Density functional theory (DFT) was used to study the molecular structures of the synthesized compounds 3a–g, utilizing 6–311++G(d,p) as the basis set and to learn more about the molecules' reactive sites, the energies of the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO), and the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) were observed. Theoretically, FT-IR and Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements are calculated for every compound under investigation to show how theory and experiment relate. It was found that there was an excellent agreement between the theoretical and experimental data. Conclusively, all novel synthesized phosphonates could be used as pharmaceutical agents against pathogenic microbial strains and as anticancer candidates by inhibiting DRP-1-mediated mitochondrial mitophagy.

We show an unexpected aggregation phenomenon of a long oligoyne (Py[16]) with 16 contiguous triple bonds and endcapped with bulky 3,5‐bi(3,5‐bis‐tert‐butylphenyl)pyridine groups. Aggregation of 1D π‐conjugated oligoyne chains is rare given the minimal π–π intermolecular interactions as well as its flexibility that works against self‐assembly. In dilute solutions, the reversible aggregation of Py[16] initiates at low temperature in the range of 140–180 K, and is not observed for shorter oligoynes in this series. Cryogenic UV/Vis electronic absorption spectra and vibrational Raman spectra with different laser wavelength lines tuning from in‐resonance to off‐resonance conditions have been used to extract the vibrational features characterizing the monomer and aggregate species. Theoretical calculations complement the spectroscopic findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The functionalization of aromatic N‐heterocycles through silylium activation demonstrates exceptional selectivity and efficiency. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations unveil the detailed silylium catalysis mechanism and elucidate the origins of selectivity in this reaction. The phosphoramidimidate sulfonamide (PADI) precatalyst orchestrates of the catalytic cycle via three elementary steps. The Brønsted acidity of precatalyst significantly influences both the formation of silylium‐based Lewis acid active species and the silylium activation of pyridine. Unlike disulfonimide (DSI)‐type precatalysts, both Tf2NH and PADI precatalysts with strong acidities can easily promote the generation of activated silylium pyridine species. A semi‐enclosed ′rigid' electronegative cavity in PADI‐type anions constructs a well‐defined recognition site, facilitating engagement with the positively charged silylium pyridine species. Due to the high electrophilicity and less steric demand at the C4‐position of the pyridine substrate, the product with C4‐regioselectivity was predominantly generated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We present an efficient route to tetramethylalumoxane by the controlled hydrolysis of AlMe3 in the presence of pyridine. The AlMe3(pyr) hydrolysis by 0.5 and 1 equiv. of H2O has been followed with real-time 1H NMR. Based on high-level quantum-chemical calculations, we conclude that hypervalent, pentacoordinate aluminium species are critical in the first steps of hydrolysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The document is a corrigendum for a paper published in the European Journal of Organic Chemistry. The authors acknowledge two mistakes in Scheme 2a and Figure 3 of their initial paper. They explain that the synthetic sequence they reported for the Val and Ile building blocks did not lead to the intended compound, but instead formed a regioisomer. They provide an alternative synthesis for the Val building block and state that their previous publications are indirectly affected by the incorrect version of the pyridine building blocks. The document also includes experimental procedures and spectroscopic characterization of the new compounds. [Extracted from the article]

The novel structure of Hg(II) complexes including the pyridinium ylide C5H5NCHC(O)C6H4-m-Br (Y) were synthesized and reported in this study. In the first step, the pyridinium salt C5H5NCH2C(O)C6H4-m-Br (S) was produced by reacting 2,3′-dibromoactophenone and pyridine. then, treatment of S with K2CO3 gave the related pyridinium ylide Y. Finally, the reaction of Y with HgX2 and Hg(NO3)2·H2O leads to the formation of novel binuclear [HgY2][HgX4] (X=Cl (1); X=Br (2); X=I (3)) and polymeric [HgY(NO3)2]n (4) complexes. The structure of complex 2 was also determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The obtained analyses proved the coordination through the ylidic carbon to metallic center. Additionally, Natural Bond Orbital (NBO), Energy Decomposition Analysis (EDA), and EDA-NOCV studies are also used to investigate the nature of metal–ligand bonding in the complexes. Finally, the antibacterial activity of 1–4 was also examined against Gram positive and negative represented significant levels of inhibitory potency respected to used standards.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) constitute an assorted class of multi-dimensional materials that offer the potential to serve as luminescent sensors for the sensitive and selective detection of antibiotics in wastewater. Herein, a new Zn(II)-based MOF with the formula [Zn(PMA)0.5(bbp)·H2O·DMA] (1) (bbp = 3,5-bis(benzoimidazo-1-ly)pyridine; PMA = pyromellitic acid) was synthesized by a solvothermal method and characterized. Crystallographic analysis reveals that MOF 1 possesses a 4,4-connected net with the Schläfli symbol {32·4·52·6}2{32·42·52}. The fabricated MOF exhibited luminescent property and was employed as a luminescent sensor to sensitively and selectively detect tetracycline (TCY) antibiotic amongst thiamphenicol (THI), 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA), tetracycline (TCY), sulfamethoxazole (SMT), thiabendazole (TBZ), tinidazole (TDZ), sulfadiazine (SDZ), chloramphenicol (CAP), metamitron (MMT), and dinotefuran (DTF). Further, restoration of the emissive response of TCY@1 was achieved by adding salicylic acid with a concomitant bathochromic shift in the emissive response. The possible sensing mechanism and restoration of emissive response were assessed with the aid of theoretical calculations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We report an efficient and easily available transition metal-free catalyst, barium oxide (BaO), for D/H exchange reaction between pyridine and D2. BaO enables selective deuteration at the α-position of pyridine, which is different from the reported base-mediated processes. We propose that the heterolytic dissociation of D2(H2) at the surface of BaO plays a key role in this process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A new ligand architecture based on quinoline/pyridine attached ortho to the amine functionality on an aniline, which is coupled to another quinoline unit has been prepared. Ligands L1 and L2 have been complexed with CF3 and C2F5 ligated nickel centers. The resulting complexes have been extensively studied by NMR spectroscopy (on 1H, 13C{1H}, and 19F nuclei) and single‐crystal X‐ray crystallography. A poorly defined mixture of complexes obtained from L1 and nickel bis‐trifluoromethyl complex was moderately active in C−H trifluoromethylation with the Umemoto I reagent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During the course of exploring crystallization conditions in generating metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for use in the crystalline sponge method, two discrete metal–organic complexes, namely, aqua[2,4,6‐tris(pyridin‐4‐yl)‐1,3,5‐triazine]zinc(II) bromide, [Zn(C18H12N6)(H2O)]Br2, and aqua[2,4,6‐tris(pyridin‐4‐yl)‐1,3,5‐triazine]zinc(II) chloride, [Zn(C18H12N6)(H2O)]Cl2, were encountered. Structures in the orthorhombic space group Pnma (No. 62) for the bromide congener at 299 K and the chloride congener at 100 K were obtained. A phase transition for the bromide congener occurred upon cooling from 299 to 100 K, yielding a crystal polymorph with four domains that exhibits monoclinic P21/m space‐group symmetry (No. 11), which arises from conformational changes. The main intramolecular contacts that contribute to the crystal packing in all observed structures are H...H, Halide...H/H...Halide, C...H/H...C, and N...H/H...N. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the Zn‐bound water and non‐Zn‐bound pyridyl N atoms is a prominent feature within the three‐dimensional networks. Aromatic π‐stacking between the non‐Zn‐bound pyridine rings and contacts involving the halide ligands further stabilize the crystal packing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The structures of a series of 2:1 cocrystals formed between 4‐(dimethylamino)pyridine and each of 1,2,4,5‐tetrachloro‐3,6‐diiodobenzene, 2C7H10N2·C6Cl4I2, 1,2,4,5‐tetrabromo‐3,6‐diiodobenzene, 2C7H10N2·C6Br4I2, 1‐bromo‐4‐iodo‐2,3,5,6‐tetrafluorobenzene, 2C7H10N2·C6BrF4I, and 1,2‐dibromo‐4,5‐difluoro‐3,6‐diiodobenzene, 2C7H10N2·C6Br2F2I2, are reported. In all five structures, the core halogen‐bonded 2:1 trimolecular units have geometrically similar parameters, with the central halogen‐bond donor flanked by two pyridine halogen‐bond acceptors twisted with respect to the central halogen‐bond donor at angles ranging from 76 to 86°. The I...N halogen‐bond separations are all short, ranging from 73.3 to 76.7% of the sum of the van der Waals radii, while the C—I...N bond angles are essentially linear. The Br...N halogen‐bond separation in the cocrystal formed with 1‐bromo‐4‐iodo‐2,3,5,6‐tetrafluorobenzene is 80.4% of the sum of the van der Waals radii. Subtle differences in the crystal packings are attributed to the role of secondary C—H...π and weak π‐type interactions with chloro and bromo substituents. The cocrystals 2C7H10N2·C6Cl4I2 and 2C7H10N2·C6Br4I2 are isomorphous. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this report, we developed an efficient one-pot method for the synthesis of 3-phenyl-1-(phenylthio)imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine analogs starting from 2-aminomethylpyridines, benzaldehydes, and sodium benzenesulfinates, which constructed C-N and C-S bonds simultaneously. The method features mild reaction conditions, a wide range of substrates, high atom utilization, and convenient and easily accessible starting materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Pyridinium salts of 2-piperidinyl-6-triazolylpurine derivatives were obtained by the introduction of pyridinium moieties into the propane-1,3-diol fragment at the N(9) position of purine to enhance the solubility of 2-amino-6-triazolylpurine derivatives in water. Target structures were obtained using the tosylation of hydroxyl groups of 2-(6-(4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-2-(piperidin-1-yl)-9H-purin-9-yl)propane-1,3-diol, the subsequent introduction of pyridine, and ion exchange. The compounds were characterized using 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra, FTIR, UV–Vis, and HRMS data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background and Objective: Prospective sequential analyses after a new drug approval allow proactive surveillance of new drugs. In the current study, we demonstrate feasibility of frailty-specific sequential analyses for dabigatran, rivaroxaban, and apixaban versus warfarin. Methods: We partitioned Medicare data from 2011 to 2020 into datasets based on calendar year following the date of drug approval. Each calendar year of data was added sequentially for analysis. We used a new-user, active comparative design by comparing the initiators of dabigatran versus warfarin, rivaroxaban versus warfarin, and apixaban versus warfarin. Patients aged ≥ 65 years with atrial fibrillation without contraindication to the anticoagulants were included. Claims-based frailty index ≥ 0.25 was used to define frailty. The initiators of each direct oral anticoagulant were propensity-score matched to the initiators of warfarin within each frailty status. The effectiveness outcome was ischemic stroke or systemic thromboembolism, and the safety outcome was major bleeding. For each calendar year, we estimated hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) from Cox proportional hazards models using all data available up to that year. Results: As an example of the results, in the 2020 dataset, compared with warfarin, apixaban was associated with a reduced risk of ischemic stroke or systemic thromboembolism (frail: HR 0.73, 95% CI 0.63–0.85; non-frail: HR 0.65, 95% CI 0.59–0.72) and major bleeding (frail: HR 0.63, 95% CI 0.57–0.69; non-frail: HR 0.59, 95% CI 0.56–0.63) in both frail and non-frail patients. We found evidence for apixaban's effectiveness and safety within 1–2 years after the drug approval in frail older patients. Conclusion: Our frailty-specific sequential analyses can be applied to future near-real-time monitoring of newly approved drugs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C26H36N2O4, the tripodal molecule exists in a conformation in which the substituents attached to the central arene ring are arranged in an alternating order above and below the ring plane. The heterocyclic unit is inclined at an angle of 79.6 (1)° with respect to the plane of the benzene ring. In the crystal, the molecules are connected via N—H⋯O bonds, forming infinite supramolecular strands. Interstrand association involves weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π interactions, with the pyridine ring acting as an acceptor in the latter case. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses a 2024 study on the attitudes of patients 65 years and older on the use of routine clinical data in making treatment decisions. Results show participants' interest in such data and in how drugs work for them, and their concerns on confounders like populations' similarity of conditions with them, and on common minor side effects. Also noted are participants' common view that their physicians determine the evidence's applicability to them, and recommend a medication.

The densities $\rho $ ρ of binary mixtures of 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol and 2-diethylaminoethanol with pyridine were measured over the entire concentration range at 293.15, 303.15 and 313.15 K. The values of excess molar volume, $V_m^E$ V m E , apparent molar volume, ${V_{\varphi ,DMAE}}$ V φ , DMAE and ${V_{\varphi ,DEAE}}$ V φ , DEAE ; partial molar volumes, ${\bar V_{m,1}}$ V ˉ m , 1 and ${\bar V_{m,2}}$ V ˉ m , 2 , excess partial molar volumes, $\bar V_{m,1}^E$ V ˉ m , 1 E and $\bar V_{m,2}^E$ V ˉ m , 2 E have been computed using the experimental observations. The partial molar volumes, $\bar V_{m,1}^o$ V ˉ m , 1 o and $\bar V_{m,2}^o$ V ˉ m , 2 o ; excess partial molar volumes, $\bar V_{m,1}^{oE}$ V ˉ m , 1 oE and $\bar V_{m,2}^{oE}$ V ˉ m , 2 oE at infinite dilution were also calculated. The variations of these parameters as a function of composition and temperature are discussed in terms of the intermolecular interactions in the studied binary mixtures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hedgehog pathway inhibitors (HHIs) have broadened the treatment options available for patients with advanced basal cell carcinoma (BCC) for whom traditional therapeutic approaches are not feasible or effective. Sonidegib and vismodegib are oral HHIs that were approved for treatment of patients with advanced BCC after demonstrating promising efficacy in the pivotal Phase II BOLT (NCT01327053) and ERIVANCE (NCT00833417) trials, respectively. However, the incidence and types of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) observed with these agents may limit continuous use of HHIs and ultimately impact clinical outcomes. In this review, we summarize the safety and tolerability profiles of sonidegib and vismodegib and discuss potential management strategies for HHI class-effect AEs, including muscle spasms, creatine phosphokinase increase, alopecia, and dysgeusia. These AEs primarily occur early in treatment and can lead to treatment discontinuation. Differences in the pharmacokinetic profiles of sonidegib and vismodegib may contribute to the variability noted in times to onset and resolution of these and other AEs. Evidence suggests that protocol modifications, such as treatment interruptions and dose reductions, are effective ways to manage AEs while maintaining disease control. Nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic interventions may also be considered as part of an AE management strategy. Overall, healthcare providers and patients with advanced BCC should be aware of the HHI class-effect AEs and plan effective management strategies to avoid treatment discontinuation and optimize therapeutic response.
