OBJECTIVES: Generic medications represent 90% of prescriptions in the US market and provide a tremendous financial benefit for patients. Recently, multiple generic drugs have been recalled due to the presence of carcinogens, predominantly N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), including an extensive recall of extended-release (ER) metformin products in 2020. STUDY DESIGN: Primary pharmaceutical quality testing and database analysis. METHODS: We tested marketed metformin immediate-release (IR) and ER tablets from a wide sample of generic manufacturers for the presence of carcinogenic impurities NDMA and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF)...

Alveologenesis, the final stage in lung development, substantially remodels the distal lung, expanding the alveolar surface area for efficient gas exchange. Secondary crest myofibroblasts (SCMF) exist transiently in the neonatal distal lung and are critical for alveologenesis. However, the pathways that regulate SCMF function, proliferation, and temporal identity remain poorly understood. To address this, we purified SCMFs from reporter mice, performed bulk RNA-sequencing, and found dynamic changes in Hippo-signaling components during alveologenesis...

Selective degradation of disease-causing proteins using proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) has gained great attention, thanks to its several advantages over traditional therapeutic modalities. Despite the advances made so far, the structural chemical complexity of PROTACs poses challenges in their synthetic approaches. PROTACs are typically prepared through a convergent approach, first synthesizing two fragments separately (target protein and E3 ligase ligands) and then coupling them to produce a fully assembled PROTAC...

The aim of this study was to evaluate two cryoprotectants, dimethylformamide (DMF) and methylformamide (MF) in two concentrations (5 and 7%) in vitro in donkey semen using a rapid freezing technique and the effect on pregnancy rates in mares. Twenty-four ejaculates from 8 jacks (n=8; r=3) were divided into 4 extenders: BotuSemen Gold with 5% or 7% MF and 5% or 7% DMF, all containing 11% lactose, 20% egg-yolk and 0.5% Equex. Post-thaw evaluations included: sperm motility, membrane function and acrosome status...

The excessive use of antibiotics has resulted in the contamination of the environment with antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), posing a significant threat to public health. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are known to be reservoirs of ARGs and considered to be hotspots for horizontal gene transfer (HGT) between bacterial communities. However, most studies focused on the distribution and dissemination of ARGs in hospital and urban WWTPs, and little is known about their fate in industrial WWTPs. In this study, collected the 15 wastewater samples containing N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) from five stages of the anaerobic anoxic aerobic (AAO) process in an industrial WWTPs...

A series of two-dimensional (2D) spin-crossover coordination polymers (SCO-CPs) [FeII (TPE)(NCX)2 ]·solv (1: X = BH3 , solv = H2 O·2CH3 OH·DMF; 2: X = Se, solv = H2 O·2CH3 OH·0.5DMF; 3: X = S, solv = H2 O·2CH3 OH·0.5DMF) were synthesized by employing 1,1,2,2-tetra(pyridin-4-yl)ethene (TPE) and pseudohalide (NCX- ) coligands. Magnetic measurements indicated that complexes 1-3 exhibited SCO behaviors with diminishing thermal hysteresis (7/4/0 K) upon decreasing the ligand-field strength...

Thanks to the Cassini-Huygens space mission between 2004 and 2017, a lot was learned about Titan, the biggest satellite of Saturn, and its intriguing atmosphere, surface, and organic chemistry complexity. However, key questions about the potential for the atmosphere and surface chemistry to produce organic molecules of direct interest for prebiotic chemistry and life did not find an answer. Due to Titan potential as a habitable world, NASA selected the Dragonfly space mission to be launched in 2027 to Titan's surface and explore the Shangri-La surface region for minimum 3 years...

The crystal structure of the metal-organic framework (MOF), {Mn2 (1,4-bdc)2 (DMF)2 } n ( 1 ) (1,4-bdcH2 , 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid; DMF, N , N -dimethylformamide), is known for a long time; however, its desolvated structure, {Mn2 (1,4-bdc)2 } n ( 1' ), is not yet known. The first-principles-based computational simulation was used to unveil the structure of 1' that shows the expansion in the framework, leading to pore opening after the removal of coordinated DMF molecules. We have used 1' that contains open metal sites (OMSs) in the structure in cyanosilylation and CO2 cycloaddition reactions and recorded complete conversions in a solventless setup...

METHODS: This study included 2000 patients aged 18 years and older who were admitted to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Faculty of Dentistry, Gaziantep University, between September and December 2023. In this study, patients completed a 30-item questionnaire designed to assess the factors that affect the decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT)...

The NLRP3 inflammasome plays a pivotal role in various chronic inflammation-driven human diseases. However, no drugs specifically targeting NLRP3 inflammasome have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States. In our current study, we showed that dimethyl fumarate (DMF) efficiently suppressed the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome induced by multiple agonists and covalently modified Cys673 of NLRP3, thereby impeding the interaction between NLRP3 and NEK7. The inhibitory effect of DMF was nullified by anaplerosis of the Cys673 mutant (but not the wild-type) NLRP3 in Nlrp3 -/- THP-1 cells...

In the structure of the title compound, C22 H22 N4 O4 ·C3 H7 NO·H2 O, the entire tricyclic system is approximately planar except for the carbon atom bearing the two methyl groups; the meth-oxy-phenyl ring is approximately perpendicular to the tricycle. All seven potential hydrogen-bond donors take part in classical hydrogen bonds. The main mol-ecule and the DMF combine to form broad ribbons parallel to the a axis and roughly parallel to the ab plane; the water mol-ecules connect the residues in the third dimension...

This study was designed to examine the anti-oxidative stress effect of dimethyl fumarate (DMF) on pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced epileptic mice, and to evaluate the correlation of its mechanism with the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-mediated signaling pathway. The experimental mice were separated into three groups: control, model, and DMF groups. Mice in the model group were administered PTZ to establish an epilepsy model, mice in the DMF group were administered DMF concurrently when modeling, and mice in the control group were administered a 0...

Trinuclear ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes anchored to benzimidazole-triazine / trisamine scaffolds were investigated as photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy. The trinuclear complexes were noted to produce a significant amount of singlet oxygen in both DMF and aqueous media, are photostable and show appreciable emission quantum yields (ɸem ). In our experimental setting, despite the moderate phototoxic activity in the HeLa cervical cancer cell line, the phototoxic indices (PI) of the trinuclear complexes are superior relative to the PIs of a clinically approved photosensitizer, Photofrin®, and the pro-drug 5-aminolevulinic acid (PI: >7 relative to PI: >1 and PI: 4...

BACKGROUND: Real-world effectiveness can vary across oral disease-modifying agents (DMAs) and their adherence trajectories in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). However, previous studies have not considered longitudinal adherence patterns while evaluating oral DMAs. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the association of oral DMAs and their adherence trajectories with annualized relapse rate (ARR) in patients with MS. METHODS: This retrospective observational cohort study based on the 2015-2019 MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters Database involved continuous enrolled adults (18-64 years) with ≥1 MS diagnosis (ICD-9/10-CM:340/G35) and ≥ 1 oral DMA prescription...

Expanding the genetic alphabet enhances DNA recombinant technologies by introducing unnatural base pairs (UBPs) beyond the standard A-T and G-C pairs, leading to biomaterials with novel and increased functionalities. Recent developments include UBPs that effectively function as a third base pair in replication, transcription, and/or translation processes. One such UBP, Ds-Px, demonstrates extremely high specificity in replication. Chemically synthesized DNA fragments containing Ds bases are amplified by PCR with the 5'-triphosphates of Ds and Px deoxyribonucleosides (dDsTP and dPxTP)...

The detection of nitroaromatic explosives in real samples is essential for environmental monitoring because of their strongly powerful nature and wide applications in industries. Aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) active fluorescent probe has been widely employed to detect nitroaromatic explosives. Hereby, a simple V-shaped bispyrene-based fluorescent probe (called py-o) with AIEE properties was designed and synthesized, which was fully charactered by 1D NMR, ESI, FTIR, and 2D NOESY spectra. The py-o displayed bright blue-green fluorescence excimer emission at 480 nm in DMF/H2 O (v/v 1:1)...

The clinical translation of polysarcosine (pSar) as polyethylene glycol (PEG) replacement in the development of novel nanomedicines creates a broad demand of polymeric material in high-quality making high-purity sarcosine N-carboxyanhydride (Sar-NCA) as monomer for its production inevitable. Within this report, we present the use of triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate in Sar-NCA synthesis with focus on amino acid and chloride impurities to avoid the sublimation of Sar-NCAs. With a view towards upscaling into kilogram or ton scale, a new methodology of monomer purification is introduced by utilizing the Meerwein's Salt triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate to remove chloride impurities by covalent binding and converting chloride ions into volatile products within a single step...

Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-based solid electrolytes with a Li salt-polymer-little residual solvent configuration are promising candidates for solid-state batteries. Herein, we clarify the microstructure of PVDF-based composite electrolyte at the atomic level and demonstrate that the Li+ -interaction environment determines both interfacial stability and ion-transport capability. The polymer works as a "solid diluent" and the filler realizes a uniform solvent distribution. We propose a universal strategy of constructing a weak-interaction environment by replacing the conventional N , N -dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent with the designed 2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide (TFA)...

A switch of reaction medium from organic solvents to water can improve the safety and lower the cost of production processes. Hydrochloric acid-promoted amination of fused pyrimidines has been studied using 4-chloro-7 H -pyrrolo[2,3- d ]pyrimidine and aniline as model compounds. Higher rate was observed in water than in four alcoholic solvents and DMF. An important aspect is that the amount of acid should be kept low to minimize the competing solvolysis. The substrate scope for the amination in water was evaluated by reacting 4-chloro-7 H -pyrrolo[2,3- d] pyrimidine with 20 aniline derivatives with variance in steric and electronic properties...
