Nitroarenes are used as the coupling partners in the preparation of sulfonamides via the insertion of sulfur dioxide. A three-component reaction of arylboronic acids, nitroarenes, and potassium metabisulfite under copper catalysis proceeds smoothly, giving rise to a range of sulfonamides in good to excellent yields with broad substrate scope. Various functional groups including hydroxyl, cyano, amino, and carbonyl are all tolerated. A plausible mechanism is proposed, showing that arylsulfinate is the intermediate and the copper-assisted interaction of the nitroarene and arylsulfinate is the key step. This approach is also extended to the late-stage modification of a currently marketed drug (flutamide).A broad range of investigation methods and frameworks are currently used to throughly study the elasticity of various types of micro/nanoparticles (MNPs) with different properties and to explore the effect of such properties on their interactions with biological species. Specifically, the elasticity of MNPs serves as a key influencing factor with respect to important aspects of phagocytosis, such as the clathrin-mediated phagocytosis, caveolae-mediated phagocytosis, macropinocytosis, and cell membrane fusion. Achieving a clear understanding of the relationships that exist between the elasticity of MNPs and their phagocytic processes is essential to improve their performance in drug delivery, which is related to aspects such as circulation lifetime in blood, accumulation time in tissues, and resistance to metabolism. Resolving such aspects is very challenging, and related efforts require using the right tools/methods, which are not always easy to identify. This review aims to facilitate this by summarizing and comparing different cell phagocytosis pathways, while considering various MNPs exhibiting different elastic properties, shape change capabilities, and their effect on cellular uptake. We conduct an overview of the advantages exhibited by different MNPs with respect to both in vitro and in vivo delivery, taking computational simulation analysis and experimental results into account. This study will provide a guide for how to investigate various types of MNPs in terms of their elastic properties, together with their biomedical effects that rely on phagocytosis.Eu3+-doped sub-10 nm LaOCl nanocrystals with 43% photoluminescence quantum yield were prepared by solvothermal synthesis from hydrated rare-earth chlorides. As-obtained nanocrystals are nearly spherical, monodisperse and stable as colloidal dispersions. These combined features should intensify the interest for nanocrystalline rare-earth oxyhalides and their optical properties.This work reports a new cationic imidazolium based hexapodal receptor, [L.6Br], for selective and efficient removal of perrhenate (ReO4-) as [L.6ReO4] from 100% aqueous medium via extraction through precipitation. Selective removal of ReO4- even in the presence of common anions such as halides and oxyanions in excess within a wide range of pH values from 1 to 14 by this receptor is also demonstrated. Importantly, [L.6Br] could easily be recovered upon heating [L.6ReO4] with tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBABr) in acetonitrile at 60 °C and recycled as a fresh extractant for ReO4-.Inoculation of single cells into separate culture chambers is one of the key requirements in single-cell analysis. This paper reports an innovative microfluidic chip integrating two pneumatic microvalves to screen and print single cells onto a well plate. The upper and lower size limits of cells can be dynamically controlled by regulating the deformation of two adjacent microvalves. Numerical simulations were employed to systematically study the influence of membrane dimensions and pressure on the deflection of a valve. A mathematical model was then modified to predict the size of cells captured by a microvalve at various pressures. The membrane deflection was further studied using confocal imaging. The critical pressure trapping beads of various sizes was experimentally determined. These experiments validated the accuracy of both numerical simulations and the mathematical model. Furthermore, single beads and endothelial cells with the desired size range were screened using dual valves and printed onto well plates with 100% efficiency. Viability studies suggested that the screening process had no significant impact on cells. This device enables dynamic regulation of both the lower and the upper size limits of cells for printing. It has significant application potential in inoculating cells with desired sizes for various fields such as clonal expansion, monoclonality development and single-cell genomic studies.A supramolecular solvent based on cyclodextrin (CD) is presented here for the first time. Indeed, a low melting mixture was obtained by mixing levulinic acid and a CD derivative, which retained its inclusion ability in the resulting solvent. This new system gives rise to a new family of solvents that could be called SUPRADES (supramolecular deep eutectic solvents).Lubricated sliding on soft elastic substrates occurs in a variety of natural and technological settings. It very often occurs in the iso-viscous elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) regime (e.g., soft solid, low pressure). In this regime, for sliding of a smooth sphere on a soft solid, a "Hertz-like" effective contact region forms. Much of the fluid is squeezed out of the contact region although enough is retained to keep the solid surfaces fully separated. This is accompanied by complex deformation of the soft solid. The behavior of such soft lubricated contacts is controlled by a single dimensionless parameter 1/β that can be interpreted as a normalized sliding velocity. Solving this fundamental soft-lubrication problem poses significant computational difficulty for large β, which is the limit relevant for soft solids. As a consequence, little is known about the structure of the flow field under soft lubrication in the intake and outlet regions. Here we present a new solution of this soft lubrication problem focusing on the "Hertz" limit. AZD3514 We develop a formulation in polar coordinates that handles difficult computational issues much better than previous methods. We study how hydrodynamic pressure, film thickness and hydrodynamic friction vary with β. Scaling laws for these relationships are given in closed form for a range of β not previously accessible theoretically but that is typical in applications. The computational method presented here can be used to study other soft lubrication problems.
