New semisynthetic α-glucosidase inhibitor from a doubly-chemically engineered extract by María I. Osella, Mario O. Salazar, Carlos M. Solís, Ricardo L. E. Furlan

“…The inhibitor results from the action of the two reagents used on four common functional groups present in natural products (carbonyl, phenol, aromatic carbon, and a double bond). The reactions led to the opening of a 6-member oxygenated heterocycle to produce a 5-member nitrogenated one, as well as the dehydroxylation and fluorination in two different positions of one of the aromatic rings of the natural starting material, all within a complex mixture of natural products. …”

Effect of Tetrahydrofuran Extraction on Surface Functional Groups of Coking Coal and Its Wettability by Jian Yao, Huaijun Ji, Huazhang Lu, Tongtong Gao

“…Reduction of substitution functional groups and aliphatic hydrocarbon decreased with the side-chains breakage produce more active sites, which increases the degree of condensation of the aromatic ring (I3). The combined action of the decrease of the hydrophilic functional groups and the increase of the hydrophobic functional groups made the wettability of the coking coal become weak.…”

Arabidopsis 3‐Deoxy‐d‐Arabino‐Heptulosonate 7‐Phosphate (DAHP) Synthases of the Shikimate Pathway Display Both Manganese‐ and Cobalt‐Dependent Activities by Ryo Yokoyama, Hiroshi A. Maeda

“…ABSTRACT The plant shikimate pathway directs a significant portion of photosynthetically assimilated carbon into the downstream biosynthetic pathways of aromatic amino acids (AAA) and aromatic natural products. 3‐Deoxy‐d‐arabino‐heptulosonate 7‐phosphate (DAHP) synthase (hereafter DHS) catalyzes the first step of the shikimate pathway, playing a critical role in controlling the carbon flux from central carbon metabolism into the AAA biosynthesis. …”
