2-O-Acyl protected-d-ribo-3-uloses reacted with [(ethoxycarbonyl)methylene]triphenylphosphorane in acetonitrile to afford regio- and stereoselectively 2-(Z)-alkenes in 10–60 min under microwave irradiation. This domino reaction is proposed to proceed via tautomerization of 3-ulose to enol, acyl migration, tautomerization to the 3-O-acyl-2-ulose, and Wittig reaction. Alternatively, in chloroform, regioselective 3-olefination of 2-O-pivaloyl-3-uloses gave (E)-alkenes, key precursors for the miharamycins' ...

Background: Reaching the target cell has been the ultimate goal of nanoparticle-based drug delivery because many drugs do not have the adequate physicochemical properties to reach or be taken up by target cells. Therefore, site-specific drug delivery systems have been sought, aiming at overcoming many biological barriers, thus improving drug performance. Objective: Lipid nanoparticles emerged as a promising alternative for the usual colloidal drug carriers, prepared with non-toxic solid physiological ...

Monkeypox, a neglected and re-emergent zoonotic disease caused by monkeypox virus (MPXV) infection, has been endemic in Central and Western Africa for decades. More recently, an outbreak has spread to a global level, occurring in sites with no previous reported cases and being clustered among men who have sex with men, suggesting new modes of transmission. There is an urgent need for research for a better understanding of the genomic evolution and changing epidemiology of the Orthopoxvirus group. ...

Their bad public image explains, to some extent, the lesser concern for their conservation compared to other marine species. Extending previous research which has mainly focused on the study of attitudes towards sharks, we propose a two studies sequence, first by exploring the shark's social representation, followed by an exploration of some stereotypical traits that may affect attitudes toward shark conservation.

Dichromacy impairs color vision and impoverishes the discrimination of surface colors in natural scenes. Computational estimates based on hyperspectral imaging data from natural scenes suggest that dichromats can discriminate only about 10% of the colors discriminated by normal trichromats. These estimates, however, assume that the colors are equally frequent. Yet, pairs of colors confused by dichromats may be rare and thus have small impact on overall perceived chromatic diversity. This study estimated, ...
