Chemotherapy-associated Grover disease is an uncommon complication of cancer treatment. While most cases of chemotherapy-associated Grover disease can be treated with topical steroids and topical emollients, certain cases require a more specialized approach. This could include adjuvant adjuvant therapies, or novel treatments that are directly related to the mechanism of action of the chemotherapy involved. J Drugs Dermatol. 2020;19(11)1056-1064. doi10.36849/JDD.2020.5648.Two new symmetrical and unsymmetrical diiron(iii) complexes were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, mass spectrometry, UV-visible and Mössbauer spectroscopies. They proved to be good catalysts for alkene and alkane oxidation reactions by H2O2 in acetonitrile solution, and interesting effects of both the nature and the symmetry of the complexes were observed on catalysis in the presence of water.Covering 2005 to 2020 Phenol coupling is a key reaction in the biosynthesis of important biopolymers such as lignin and melanin and of a plethora of biarylic secondary metabolites. The reaction usually leads to several different regioisomeric products due to the delocalization of a radical in the reaction intermediates. If axial chirality is involved, stereoisomeric products are obtained provided no external factor influences the selectivity. PKC-theta inhibitor order Hence, in non-enzymatic organic synthesis it is notoriously difficult to control the selectivity of the reaction, in particular if the coupling is intermolecular. From biosynthesis, it is known that especially fungi, plants, and bacteria produce biarylic compounds regio- and stereoselectively. Nonetheless, the involved enzymes long evaded discovery. First progress was made in the late 1990s; however, the breakthrough came only with the genomic era and, in particular, in the last few years the number of relevant publications has dramatically increased. The discoveries reviewed in this article reveal a remarkable diversity of enzymes that catalyze oxidative intermolecular phenol coupling, including various classes of laccases, cytochrome P450 enzymes, and heme peroxidases. Particularly in the case of laccases, the catalytic systems are often complex and additional proteins, substrates, or reaction conditions have a strong influence on activity and regio- and atroposelectivity. Although the field of (selective) enzymatic phenol coupling is still in its infancy, the diversity of enzymes identified recently could make it easier to select suitable candidates for biotechnological development and to approach this challenging reaction through biocatalysis.Correction for 'The evolution of spiropyran fundamentals and progress of an extraordinarily versatile photochrome' by Luuk Kortekaas et al., Chem. Soc. Rev., 2019, 48, 3406-3424, DOI .Ethylene production is an important and direct indicator related to the development of the petrochemical industry in a country. However, the separation and purification of ethylene is an extremely energy-consuming process. In this review, the latest progress in the purification of ethylene using metal organic frameworks (MOFs), a new type of physical adsorbent, is summarized according to four classifications of pore engineering, including pore surface functionalization, molecular sieving, controlled framework softness and dynamic pore-dominated molecular diffusion. Finally, the current challenges and future prospects in this field are also discussed.As we read this text, our eyes dynamically adjust the focal length to keep the image in focus on the retina. Similarly, in many optics applications the focal length must be dynamically tunable. In the quest for compactness and tunability, flat lenses based on metasurfaces were introduced. However, their dynamic tunability is still limited because their functionality mostly relies upon fixed geometry. In contrast, we put forward an original concept of a tunable Optical Magnetic Lens (OML) that focuses photon beams using a subwavelength-thin layer of a magneto-optical material in a non-uniform magnetic field. We applied the OML concept to a wide range of materials and found out that the effect of OML is present in a broad frequency range from microwaves to visible light. For terahertz light, OML can allow 50% relative tunability of the focal length on the picosecond time scale, which is of practical interest for ultrafast shaping of electron beams in microscopy. The OML based on magneto-optical natural bulk and 2D materials may find broad use in technologies such as 3D optical microscopy and acceleration of charged particle beams by THz beams.The ability of the multidentate nucleobases, adenine and thymine, to coordinate polyoxometalate and metal ions leading to the formation of self-assembled nanostructures and their strong cytotoxicity toward cancer cell lines have been demonstrated. A unique synthetic approach is developed to make a series of functional nanoscale hybrid materials consisting of nucleobases (adenine and thymine) and phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) through solid state chemical reaction and self-assembly process. Adenine was protonated through its ring nitrogen, while the ketone group in thymine was protonated during the addition of PMA to these nucleobases. The self-assembled nanostructures formed as a result of the electrostatic interaction between the protonated nucleobases and polyanionic PMA. To promote the base pairing between the nucleobases, chloroaurate ions and silver ions were added to each PMA/adenine and PMA/thymine nanostructures. The complexation between the nucleobases and the added metal ions was found to drive the formation of subsequent self-assembled nanostructures. All the materials were screened for their anticancer activity against breast (MDAMB-231) and prostate (PC-3) cancer cells, and non-cancerous keratinocyte cells HaCaT. PMA/adenine/[AuCl4]- and PMA/thymine/Ag+ nanostructures were found to have strong anti-cancer activity, while PMA/adenine/Ag+, PMA/thymine/[AuCl4]-, and PMA/pdenine, PMA/thymine nanostructures did not exhibit such activity. The unique redox properties of these materials and the self-assembly of the PMA and metal ions were the major factors responsible for the cytotoxicity. This unique approach of making functional nanomaterials incorporate the nucleobase, PMA and metal ions using solid state self-assembly and their anti-cancer applications are considered to be an effective approach for the development of inorganic nucleoside analogue bio-pharmaceutical agents.Phototheranostics represents a promising direction for modern precision medicine, which has recently attracted great research interest from multidisciplinary research areas. Organic optical agents including small molecular fluorophores, semiconducting/conjugated polymers, aggregation-induced emission luminogens, etc. with tuneable photophysical properties, high biosafety and biocompatibility, facile processability and ease of functionalization have delivered encouraging performance in disease phototheranostics. This review summarizes the recent progress of organic phototheranostic agents with an emphasis on the main strategies to manipulate the three excitation energy dissipation pathways, namely, radiative decay, thermal deactivation, and intersystem crossing, with the assistance of a Jablonski diagram, which particularly showcases how the Jablonski diagram has been guiding the design of organic agents from molecule to aggregate levels to promote the disease phototheranostic outcomes. Molecular design and nanoengineering strategies to modulate photophysical processes of organic optical agents to convert the absorbed photons into fluorescent/phosphorescent/photoacoustic signals and/or photodynamic/photothermal curing effects for improved disease phototheranostics are elaborated. Noteworthily, adaptive phototheranostics with activatable and transformable functions on demand, and regulation of excitation such as chemiexcitation to promote the phototheranostic efficacies are also included. A brief summary with the discussion of current challenges and future perspectives in this research field is further presented.The removal of excessive blood lead ions (Pb2+) is very important to human health, but current effective removal technology is still lacking because of the complex existence state of Pb2+ in blood, which can be attributed to the fact that most of the blood Pb2+ is combined with haemoglobin (Hb) located in red blood cells (RBCs). Here, a new type of magnetic mesoporous silica/ε-polylysine nanomotor-based remover (MMS/P NR) with abundant chelation sites was designed, synthesized and used to remove Pb2+ from blood. The magnetic core can make the nanocomposites become nanomotors with autonomous movement under an external variable magnetic field, which can effectively improve the contact probability between the MMS/P NRs and Pb2+-contaminated Hb in RBCs. The amino rich ε-polylysine (ε-PL) was used as the co-template of mesoporous silica. Mesoporous channels can provide a confinement effect for Pb2+-contaminated Hb to stabilize the captured blood Pb2+. The movement behavior of the MMS/P NRs in and out of RBCs and the capture mechanism of Pb2+ in the blood were studied. The results indicate that the MMS/P NRs we propose have good blood compatibility, low cytotoxicity, magnetic properties, autonomous movement ability and recyclability under the condition of an external magnetic field. Moreover, compared with the experimental conditions without an external variable magnetic field (0.01485 mg g-1), the MMS/P NRs show a higher blood Pb2+ removal ability under the condition of an external variable magnetic field (0.05525 mg g-1). The design strategy of this remover based on nanomotor technology has great potential in the future medical treatment of heavy metal poisoning.Discovery of anti-sintering noble metal catalysts is challenging, as supported noble metal species tend to aggregate at high temperatures, leading to severely deteriorated catalytic performances. Here we show that 1 wt% of noble metal species including Au, Pd and Ru can be incorporated into high-entropy oxides (HEOs) through entropy stabilization at 900 °C in air. A reversible temperature-dependent dissolution-exsolution process is observed for Au-HEO. Further correlation with distinct CO oxidation capabilities demonstrates the potential to utilize the entropy effect to access self-regenerative catalysts for catalytic reactions.The C-type lectin receptor Mincle binds Candida albicans and has been implicated in its pathobiology, but the molecular effectors responsible have not been identified. We report the synthesis of cholesteryl and ergosteryl 6-O-acyl-α-d-mannosides, produced by C. albicans mycelium, and demonstrate their ability to signal through human and mouse Mincle.A facile and efficient cyclization of sodium aminodiboranate to construct a boron-nitrogen-hydrogen ring is presented. This new strategy can be developed into a general method to prepare aminodiborane and its derivatives. Theoretical calculations show that a one-step cyclization mechanism is favored, where the dihydrogen bond plays an important role.
