Aurones are a small subgroup of flavonoids in which the basic C6–C3–C6 skeleton is arranged as (Z)-2-benzylidenebenzofuran-3(2H)-one. These compounds are structural isomers of flavones and flavonols, natural products reported as potent inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 replication. Herein, we report the design, synthesis, and anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity of a series of 25 aurones bearing different oxygenated groups (OH, OCH3, OCH2OCH3, OCH2O, OCF2H, and OCH2C6H4R) at the A- and/or B-rings using cell-based screening ...

There is an overall perception of increased interdisciplinarity in science, but this is difficult to confirm quantitatively owing to the lack of adequate methods to evaluate subjective phenomena. This is no different from the difficulties in establishing quantitative relationships in human and social sciences. In this paper we quantified the interdisciplinarity of scientific journals and science fields by using an entropy measurement based on the diversity of the subject categories of journals citing ...

The use of science to understand its own structure is becoming popular, but understanding the organization of knowledge areas is still limited because some patterns are only discoverable with proper computational treatment of large-scale datasets. In this paper, we introduce a network-based methodology combined with text analytics to construct the taxonomy of science fields. The methodology is illustrated with application to two topics: complex networks (CN) and photonic crystals (PC). We built citation ...

Two strains of mice were genetically selected for susceptibility (TS‐Ab/HetS strain) or resistance (TR‐Ab/HetS strain) to oral tolerance of the humoral response by using ovalbumin (OVA). The progressive interstrain divergence produced by bi‐directional selective breeding during 15 generations demonstrated the polygenic nature of oral tolerance. This paper shows the humoral and delayed‐type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses, after intragastric administration of OVA and subsequent immunization with that ...

We introduce a new experimental technique referred to as ellipsometric Raman spectroscopy (ERS) to quantify the Raman optical activity (ROA) where ellipsometry is combined with Raman spectroscopy. The Stokes parameters were determined for Raman scattered light using Fourier decomposition in measurements with achromatic optical components in a nine-point method. We tested the methodology with ultrapure water, a well-known chiral alcohol, and a chiral polymer, and we show that ERS allows for studying ...

The presence of toxic chlorinated compounds in drinking water, generated during the disinfection step in water treatment plants is of great concern for public health. Therefore, special attention has been given to the development of effective organochlorine-removal techniques. The reductive degradation via zero-valent-metals is recognized as a promising alternative. In this study, the capacity of zero-valent-copper (ZVC) containing materials to degrade 2,4,6-thichlorophenol (TCP) was investigated, ...

In this work we investigate the effect from the solution concentration on aggregation in layer-by-layer (LBL) films of poly(o-methoxyaniline) (POMA) alternated with poly(vinyl sulfonic acid). Films are adsorbed on hydrophilized glass substrates and characterized with UV–Vis spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. The formation of aggregates is favored in more concentrated solutions, leading to an increase in the diameter of the domains. This is caused by stronger polymer–polymer interactions under ...

Fabry disease is an X-linked inborn error of metabolism, which is caused by the deficiency of α-galactosidase A, leading to progressive accumulation of neutral glycosphingolipids and a-galactosyl breakdown products in most body fluids and several tissues, resulting in the clinical manifestations. The onset of Fabry disease symptoms in females is not observed as early as in males. We report a novel presentation of Fabry disease in a female patient with medical history of relapsing strokes and brain ...
