Activation of oxygen-containing functional groups plays a key role in sustainable biomass upgrading and conversion. In this work, a NiMo intermetallic compound (IMC) catalyst was prepared based on layered double hydroxides (LDHs) precursors, which displayed prominent catalytic performance for furfural hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) to 2-methylfuran (2-MF) (yield: 99%) at a rather low hydrogen pressure (0.1 MPa), significantly superior to NiMo alloy, monometallic Ni and other Ni-based catalysts ever reported. CO-IR, STEM, EXAFS and XANES give direct evidences that the atomically-ordered Ni/Mo sites in NiMo IMC determine the uniform bridging-type adsorption mode of C=O bond in furfural while adsorption of furan ring is extremely suppressed. In situ FT-IR and DFT calculation further substantiate that ordered Ni-Mo bimetallic sites of IMC, in contrast to the random at. sequence in NiMo alloy, facilitate the activation and cleavage of C-OH bond in the intermediate (furfuryl alc., FOL), accounting for the production of 2-MF. This work demonstrates the decisive effect of atomically-ordered active sites in IMC catalyst on activation of oxygen-containing functional groups and product selectivity, which can be extended to catalytic upgrading of biomass-derived platform mols.

So far, there has been no quality evaluation of Tricholoma matsutake. Nucleic acid compounds are a kind of functional ingredient in T. matsutake that is beneficial to human health. In this study, a UPLC-TOF/MS method was first used to scan and identify the potential nucleic acid compounds in T. matsutake. Based on the calculation of the mol. formula and subsequent confirmation by authentic standards, 15 nucleic acid compounds were unambiguously identified: adenosine, cytidine, guanosine, inosine, thymidine, uridine, xanthosine dehydrate, 2′- deoxyadenosine, 2′-deoxycytidine, 2′-deoxyguanosine, 2′-deoxyuridine, adenosine 5′- monophosphate, CMP, GMP, and uridine 5′- monophosphate. Then, a UPLC-QqQ/MS method was developed for the subsequent quant. anal. After validating the limits of quantification, detection, precision, repeatability, and recovery through a calibration curve, the content of 15 nucleic acid compounds was determined by the proposed UPLC-QqQ/MS method in 80 T. matsutake samples collected from different regions in Sichuan province, Southwest China. After the statistical anal., we suggest that the total content of nucleic acid compounds in the qualified T. matsutake should be higher than 24.49 mg/100 g. The results indicated that the combined use of UPLC-TOF/MS and UPLC-QqQ/MS is efficient for fast identification and determination of nucleic acid compounds to comprehensively evaluate the quality of T. matsutake.

Hydrogenation of furfural to value-added chem. products is largely hindered by its multiple reaction pathways and complicated product distribution. Thus, to selectively achieve the desired products, catalysts with precise catalytic properties are highly required. Herein, a series of PdAg bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) of similar size and tunable composition supported on activated carbon (Pd4Ag1/C, Pd2Ag1/C, Pd1Ag1/C and Pd2Ag3/C) were synthesized in a controlled manner and applied in the selective hydrogenation of furfural. Interestingly, an obvious composition-dependent catalytic performance was observed: upon incrementally increasing the proportion of Ag in PdAg NPs, the hydrogenation selectivity can transform from tetrahydrofurfuryl alc. (sel. 94% for Pd4Ag1/C) to furfuryl alc. (sel. 95% for Pd1Ag1/C) with nearly complete conversion (99%) of furfural. DFT calculations revealed that the adsorption free energy of in situ generated furfuryl alc. on Pd(111) surface is inversely proportional correlated with the Ag content in PdAg bimetallic NPs, which accounts for the alteration of chemoselectivity. Importantly, the present study is the first demonstration of composition-induced selectivity reversal for the hydrogenation of furfural under ambient conditions (25°C, 0.1 MPa H2).

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of shortened 8-wk regimen of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (LED/SOF) combination therapy in treatment-naive children without cirrhosis aged 4-10 years of age with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. This observational single arm prospective study included 30 treatment-naive children (20 males) with proved chronic HCV fulfilling inclusion criteria. Their body weights ranged from 17 to 26 kg. All the included children received a single oral dose of LED/SOF 45/200 mg for 8 wk. Body weight, HCV-RNA, complete blood count, and liver function tests were monitored at 0, 2, 4, and 8 wk and sustained virol. response was evaluated after 12 wk after treatment (SVR12). The emergence of any side effects was also monitored. The most common risk factor (53.3%) was an parent or sibling with HCV infection. Twenty-nine patients (96.7%) were neg. for HCV-RNA by week 2 of treatment and 1 patient became neg. by week 4. The end of treatment response and SVR12 were 100%. Transaminases levels declined and returned to normal levels by week 2. Major side effects were fatigue in 90% (27/30) and headache in 76.7% (23/30). Side effects were minimal, tolerable, and did not interfere with daily activity or necessitate treatment discontinuation. A shortened 8-wk regimen of LED/SOF (45/200 mg) is safe and effective with 100% SVR12 in treatment-naive children with cirrhosis aged 4-10 years with chronic HCV infection genotype 4.

Date, Nandan S.; Hengne, Amol M.; Huang, K.-W.; Chikate, Rajeev C.; Rode, Chandrashekhar V. published the artcile< One pot hydrogenation of furfural to 2-methyl tetrahydrofuran over supported mono- and bi-metallic catalysts>, Computed Properties of 97-99-4, the main research area is iron nickel metallic hydrogenation catalyst furfural methyl THF.

2-Methyltetrahydrofuran is a valuable com. product that can be obtained by direct hydrogenation of furfural. In the present study, among several carbon supported bimetallic Ir-Ni catalysts with different loadings screened, 4% Ir-4% Ni/C catalyst showed excellent activity in terms of direct conversion (99%) to 2-MeTHF with a maximum selectivity of ∼74% at 220°C and 750 psig, suppressing the formation of side chain as well as ring opening products. The catalytic activity was found to be mainly affected by catalyst preparation methods, metal loadings, surface composition, temperature, pressure and catalyst loading. HR-TEM and STEM revealed well dispersed Ir-Ni NPs having the particle sizes in the range of 2 to 5 nm. Different phases of Ir i. e. Ir° and IrO2 as well as oxygen vacancies were found to be responsible for hydrogenation of furfural to 2-Me furan while, Ni° and NiO were responsible for further hydrogenation to 2-MeTHF. The synergic effect between Ir and Ni was established through XPS, H2-TPR anal. With the help of some control experiments, the plausible reaction pathway was also proposed. The catalyst prepared by co-impregnation method found more effective than prepared by sequential addition method. At lower Ni loadings of 1% and 2%, low temperature of 160°C as well as at low H2 pressure of 250 psig, mixture of furfuryl alc. and 2-Me furan were formed selectively. Catalyst could be successfully reused up to 3 times without leaching of metals.

Co-Zn/NC was prepared by a sacrificial template self-reduction method with zeolitic imidazolate frame-8 (ZIF-8) impregnating the Co2+ as the precursor. At 125°C for 2.5 h, furfural was completely converted to furan-2-ylmethanol (FM) over Co17Zn/NC600, while FM selectivity over Co/NC600 is only 70.6%. According to multiple characterizations, Co17Zn/NC600 (Co loading 17%, calcined at 600°C) consists of flower-like spherical Co3ZnC nanoparticles (NPsCo3ZnC) uniformly distributed on its surface. The NPsCo3ZnC are the main active ingredients for highly selective furfural hydrogenation to FM, which is confirmed by furfural hydrogenation over Co-Zn/NC prepared with different Co loadings and different calcination temperatures The excellent activity and stability of Co17Zn/NC600 were confirmed by recycling experiment and furfural conversion is still above 90% after repeated use of Co17Zn/NC600 for 8 cycles.

Mironenko, R. M.; Belskaya, O. B.; Likholobov, V. A. published the artcile< Solvent effect on the rate and direction of furfural transformations during hydrogenation over the Pd/C catalyst>, Category: tetrahydrofurans, the main research area is furfural palladium catalyst hydrogenation kinetics solvent effect.

The rate and directions of transformations during the liquid-phase hydrogenation of furfural with mol. hydrogen in the presence of the 5%Pd/C catalyst (at 423 K, 3 MPa) depend substantially on the chem. nature of the solvent. The main products of the catalytic transformations in alcs. are alkyl furyl ethers. Hydrogenation in solvent environment of aromatic hydrocarbons and 1,4-dioxane (nonpolar solvents), as well as in Et acetate and DMF (polar aprotic solvents) leads to the predominant formation of furfuryl alc., and its highest selectivity (up to 92%) is achieved with the use of DMF.

El-Baraky, Iman A.; Abbassi, Maggie M.; Ebeid, Fatma S.; Hassany, Mohamed; Sabry, Nirmeen A.; El-Sayed, Manal H. published the artcile< Beta-thalassemia major alters sofosbuvir/ledipasvir exposure in Hepatitis C virus infected adolescent patients>, Formula: C9H13N2O9P, the main research area is beta thalassemia major sofosbuvir ledipasvir Hepatitis C virus; Hepatitis C virus; Ledipasvir; Pharmacokinetics; Sofosbuvir; Thalassemia.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected adolescents with beta-thalassemia major (BTM) are considered a potential population for HCV micro-elimination model development where BTM may neg. impact the pharmacokinetic exposure parameters of sofosbuvir/ledipasvir (SOF/LED).The study aimed at studying the effect of BTM on SOF/LED and SOF metabolite (GS-331007) pharmacokinetics.A prospective, controlled study recruiting BTM and control HCV infected adolescents (Clinicaltrials.gov identifier-NCT04353986). Pharmacokinetic exposure to GS-331007 and LED was the primary pharmacokinetic outcome. No-effect boundaries were set to 90confidence interval (CI) of exposure geometric mean ratio (GMR) within 70-143. Dose suitability was based on the 90CI of exposure GMR within 50-200compared to adults. The percentage of patients achieving sustained virol. response 12 wk post-treatment (SVR12) was the primary efficacy endpoint.Thirteen patients were enrolled per study group. All patients were included in the pharmacokinetic anal. (n=26). BTM patients showed lower GS-331007 and LED exposure that could, resp., be as low as 45.4and 36.1compared to their control group. GS-331007 exposure in BTM patients was nearly half (56.8, 90CI 45.3-71.2) that observed in adults. Despite that low drug exposure in 46.2of BTM patients may alert dose unsuitability, they achieved SVR12. Moreover, patients with total bilirubin ≥1.93 mg/dL were predicted to have low GS-331007 exposure (0.913 receiver operating characteristic area under the curve with sensitivity and specificity >80).The identified systematically lower drug exposure in BTM patients might partially explain relapses or treatment failures among BTM patients reported in other studies. BTM may be a hurdle towards implementing HCV micro-elimination model that may necessitate dose-adjustment.

Catalytic conversion of biomass furfural (FAL) to high value-added products (e.g., 2-methylfuran, MF) has attracted considerable attention, in which control over catalytic selectivity plays a crucial issue. Herein, a series of heterogonous NiZn alloy supported on the mixed metal oxides (MMO) were synthesized derived from layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with various Ni/Zn ratio (3/1, 1/1 or 1/3). XRD, HRTEM and XAFS measurements confirm that with the increase of Zn content, the corresponding NiZn alloy transforms from α-NiZn to β-NiZn. Dramatically, the selectivity of MF displays an improvement from 12% to 95% along with this phase transformation process; and the MF yield reaches to 95% over Ni1Zn3-MMO sample. A combination study including XPS, CO-DRIFTS, in situ FT-IR and DFT calculation verifies that metallic Ni serves as active site, resulting in an effective suppression of side reactions. Moreover, a charge-separated metal-couple-site (Niδ–Znδ+) is on the surface of Ni1Zn3-MMO originating from electron transfer between Ni and Zn. This active structure stabilizes a η2(C, O) adsorption configuration of intermediate, in which C atom is bonded to the Niδ- site and O atom is attached to the Znδ+ site. This work provides an efficient and cost-effective catalyst that can simultaneously inhibit C=C hydrogenation and promote C-O cleavage, which would be potentially used in catalytic conversion of biomass-derived platform mols.
