Toward Designing “Sweet” Ionic Liquids Containing a Natural Terpene Moiety as Effective Wood Preservatives was written by Feder-Kubis, Joanna;Zabielska-Matejuk, Jadwiga;Stangierska, Anna;Przybylski, Piotr;Jacquemin, Johan;Geppert-Rybczynska, Monika.

This study is focused on the utilization of naturally occurring terpene alc. in the synthesis of ionic liquids (ILs) and their application potential in wood protection. A new series of ILs containing a natural, renewable source of (-)-menthol in the cation and a saccharinate derivative as the anion were obtained with a high yield under mild process conditions. The potential applications of synthesized compounds that belong to surface-active compounds were assessed for wood preservation, and they showed pos. results. Laboratory tests of their activity against fungi and saccharinate-based chiral ionic liquid (CIL) bonding with Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) wood are described. The biol. results for salts with alkyl substituents ranging from pentyl to octyl chains are very promising, and their activity is similar to, and even higher than, that of the commonly used material benzalkonium chloride. The fungicidal values of saccharinate-based CILs against Coniophora puteana ranged from 2.75 to 4.4 kg m-3 and were lower than those of com. benzalkonium chloride. Moreover, those salts penetrate to some extent into pine wood, which strongly increases their potential for use in wood industries. The attenuated total reflectance IR spectroscopy technique was used to characterize the fixing mechanism of the chiral “sweet” salts in the wood structure, and the CIL penetration depth into Scots pine wood was tested. These results were completed with the surface properties of the investigated saccharinates, the surface tension measurements, and contact angles of ILs on wood. The corrosiveness study of imidazolium saccharinate salt showed low aggressiveness against carbon steel, moreover, lower than that of IL with nitrate anion, didecyldimethylammonium nitrate, and com. used benzalkonium chloride. The incorporation of a saccharinate anion into the IL structure may eliminate this unfavorable property of com. protective agents based on ILs. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1-Octyl-1H-imidazole (cas: 21252-69-7Category: imidazoles-derivatives).

Development of safe and effective drugs requires complete impurity evaluation and, therefore, knowledge about the formation and elimination of impurities is necessary. During impurity profiling of a key intermediate during synthesis of candesartan cilexetil (1-(((cyclohexyloxy)carbonyl) oxy)ethyl 1-((2′-(2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl) methyl)-2-ethoxy-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-7-carboxylate, TCV-116), a novel compound, which had not been reported previously, was observed Structural elucidation of impurity was achieved by liquid chromatog. hyphenated to different high resolution mass analyzers. Based on exact mass measurements and fragmentation pattern, a chloro alkyl carbonate ester analog of the intermediate was identified. Structure of the impurity was confirmed by mass spectro-metric and NMR analyses of the target substance. Identified impurity could represent a hazard if it is transferred to the final API stage and its presence should be kept below allowed limits. Further investigation could reveal whether bis(1-chloroethyl) carbonate is a precursor to impurity formation. Therefore, synthesis should be regulated so as to minimize impurity production Anal. of the final product indicated that the amount of impurity did not exceed 50 mg L-1, which represents the detection limit, determined according to the signal/noise ratio.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are capable of downstream signaling through distinct noncanonical pathways such as β-arrestins in addition to the canonical G protein-dependent pathways. GPCR ligands that differentially activate the downstream signaling pathways are termed functionally selective or biased ligands. A class of novel non-catechol G protein-biased agonists of the dopamine D1 receptor (D1R) was recently disclosed. We conducted the first comprehensive structure-functional selectivity relationship study measuring GS and β-arrestin2 recruitment activities focused on four regions of this scaffold, resulting in over 50 analogs with diverse functional selectivity profiles. Some compounds became potent full agonists of β-arrestin2 recruitment, while others displayed enhanced GS bias compared to the starting compound Pharmacokinetic testing of an analog with an altered functional selectivity profile demonstrated excellent blood-brain barrier penetration. This study provides novel tools for studying ligand bias at D1R and paves the way for developing the next generation of biased D1R ligands.

Heterogeneous Structures of Ionic Liquids as Probed by CO Rotation with Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Relaxation Analysis and Molecular Dynamics Simulations was written by Endo, Takatsugu;Sumida, Hiroki;Fujii, Kaori;Takahashi, Kenji;Kimura, Yoshifumi. And the article was included in Journal of Physical Chemistry B in 2020.Electric Literature of C18H31F6N3O4S2 This article mentions the following:

The rotational dynamics of carbon monoxide (CO) in ionic liquids (ILs) was investigated by NMR relaxation measurements and mol. dynamics (MD) simulations. NMR spin-lattice relaxation time measurements were performed for 17O-enriched CO in 10 ILs (four imidazolium-cation-based, four phosphonium-cation-based, and two ammonium-cation-based ILs, all paired with the bis(trifluorosulfonylmethane)imide anion). In combination with previously reported data for five ILs and viscosity data, our results indicated that the obtained rotational relaxation times (τ2R) were much smaller than those predicted using the Stokes-Einstein-Debye (SED) theory. For the same viscosity/temperature values, the τ2R-1 value increased linearly with increasing carbon number of the alkyl group in the cation. The deviation from the SED equation was due to the insensitivity of τ2R to the carbon number, even though a higher carbon number generally leads to higher viscosity values for ILs. To investigate the unique rotational properties of CO in the ILs, MD simulations were performed on five representative ILs (two imidazolium, two phosphonium, and one ammonium) containing CO solutes. From rotational correlation function analyses, the CO rotation mainly occurred in a free rotation-like manner within 1 ps, which explained the relative insensitivity of CO rotation to viscosity. In the subsequent time scale (>1 ps), the minor component of the CO rotation was discriminated among different ILs. It was strongly suggested that, because CO preferably locates in the outer part of the alkyl groups in the cation, the slow CO rotation is correlated with the outer alkyl dynamics, which are decoupled from the whole cation rotation.
