Correlation analysis implied that high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) were closely related to depressive-like behavior. Based on fatty acid analysis, the palmitoleic acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid, and arachidonic acid content was remarkably changed in mice with depressive-like behavior. In addition, acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD1), fatty acid desaturase 1 (FADS1), and fatty acid desaturase 2 (FADS2) expression, which are involved in de novo fatty acid synthesis, desaturation of fatty acids, and arachidonic acid synthesis, were strengthened in HFD mice with depressive-like behavior. Therefore, we postulated that the disorder of lipid metabolism induced by HFD consumption accelerated the development of depressive-like behavior.Ten new polyisoprenylated benzophenone derivatives, 4,8-epi-uralione F (1), 4,8-epi-uralione G (2), uralione S (3), coccinone J (4), 6-epi-coccinone C (5), coccinone I (6), 36-hydroxy-guttiferone J (7), multiflorone I (8), garciniagifolone F (9) and 36-hydroxy-garciniagifolone F (10), were isolated from the fruits of Garcinia cambogia, along with seven known analogues. The structures of the new compounds were established based on the detailed analysis of 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra and high resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometra (HRESIMS), and their absolute configurations were determined from the electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. All the isolates were tested for their inhibitory effects against nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. MG132 The results indicated that compound 1 displayed a potent NO inhibitory effect with an IC50 value of 41.60 ± 0.17 μM. Furthermore, compound 1 suppressed inducible NO synthase (iNOS) expression in a dose-dependent manner through inhibiting the activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB).We describe a simple two-phase flow reactor which allows for the rapid synthesis of several Au(i)-NHC complexes in high yields (>88%), under mild conditions, and with minimal workup. Translation of the standard weak base method to a two-phase flow reaction prevents the common problem of decomposition to Au(0). The reaction can be scaled up more than ten-fold without loss in conversion efficiency. An optional second stage allows for direct synthesis of Au(iii)-NHC complexes, without isolation of the Au(i)-NHC intermediate, with a two-step isolated yield of 82%.Heterogeneous catalysis lies at the heart of the chemical and fuel manufacturing industries and hence is a cornerstone of many economies. Many of the commercially operated heterogeneous catalysts have remained basically unchanged for decades, undergoing small but important optimisation of their formulations. Yet we all acknowledge that there is a continuous drive towards improved catalysts or designing new ones. At the heart of these studies has been the need to gain an improved understanding of the reaction mechanism for these important reactions since this can unlock new ways to improve catalyst design and, of course, the ultimate aim is to design catalysts based on the detailed understanding of the reaction mechanism. These advanced studies have been aided in the last decade by two key factors, namely (a) access to advanced characterisation techniques based on synchrotron methods and aberration-corrected microscopy that can probe the nature of the active site, and (b) the application of high-level computational methods to understand how the reactants and products interact at the active site. In this paper this theme will be explored using two examples to bring out the complexity in gaining an understanding of a reaction mechanism. Using the zeolite H-ZSM-5 as an example of a single site catalyst, the mechanism of the conversion of methanol to the first hydrocarbon carbon-carbon bond will be discussed. In this section the use of model reactants and reaction probes will be used to try to differentiate between different mechanistic proposals. The second example explores the use of gold catalysts for CO oxidation and acetylene hydrochlorination. In both these examples the importance of advanced characterisation and theory will be highlighted.Incorporating chiral organic ligands into cyanido-bridged FeII-NbIV assemblies synthesized chiral spin-crossover complexes, FeII2[NbIV(CN)8](L)8·6H2O (L = R-, S-, or rac-1-(3-pyridyl)ethanol R-FeNb, S-FeNb, or rac-FeNb). Rietveld analyses based on a racemic complex of rac-FeNb indicate that the chiral complexes have a cubic crystal structure in the I213 space group with a three-dimensional cyanido-bridged FeII-NbIV coordination network. All the complexes exhibit spin crossover between the high-spin (HS) and the low-spin (LS) FeII states without thermal hysteresis. Chiral complexes of R-FeNb and S-FeNb show second harmonic generation (SHG) due to their non-centrosymmetric structure. The I213 space group provides second-order susceptibility tensor elements of χxyz, χyzx, and χzxy, which contribute to SHG. The temperature-dependent second harmonic light intensity change is due to spin crossover between FeIIHS and FeIILS.Nonanuclear zinc-gold heterobimetallic complexes were synthesized in a two-step process. Commercially available carboxy-functionalized phosphine ligands were used for selective binding to Zn and Au centers. In the first step, bipyridine coordinated Zn-metalloligands with free phosphine moieties were prepared. Reaction of Zn-metalloligands with [AuCl(tht)] (tht = tetrahydrothiophene) resulted in the formation of nonanuclear Zn-Au heterobimetallic complexes. The flexibility of the carboxy-functionalized phosphine ligands was shown to be crucial for the formation of aurophilic interactions. Further, the photoluminescence of the Zn-metalloligands and one Zn-Au complex was investigated at room temperature as well as 77 K. The emission spectra showed clear difference between the Zn-metalloligands and the Zn-Au complex.An aliovalent mixed-metal framework DUT-174 [LiAl(2-methylimidazolate)4]n, isostructural to ZIF-8, was synthesized from lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) and 2-methylimidazole (2-mImH) through dehydrogenation. Lithium and aluminum cations acting as alternating framework nodes are coordinated tetrahedrally by (2-mIm)-. DUT-174 has a high specific surface area of 1149 m2 g-1 and CO2 uptake of 11.57 mmol g-1 at 195 K.
