Abstract
This study investigates four phenothiazinium dyes including methylene blue (MB) and three analogues containing auxochrome variation 2-4 as oxygen colorimetric indicators prepared by their incorporation into two types of oxygen permeable materials containing: a) polyvinyl alcohol substrate with additional TiO2 photocatalysts (PhOxIn), and b) carboxymethylcellulose polymer matrix containing glucose and KOH (ChOxIn). In vacuum packages where volumetric concentrations of oxygen were below 0.01 %, the leuco forms of the tested phenothiazinum dyes were readily oxidised, initiating the colour turn from white to blue. The redox processes involved were explored by experimental electron paramagnetic resonance EPR and UV-vis spectroscopic methods and further supported by theoretical quantum chemistry. The EPR experiments showed that the chemical oxidation of the leuco-form of the phenothiazinium dyes 1-4 produced transient aminyl radical species with the single electron mainly located at the nitrogen atom of the heterocyclic core. The formation of these transient aminyl species was also perceived by UV-vis spectroscopy, their absorption maxima situated in the 552-592 nm range being also supported by TD-DFT theoretical calculations.

Abstract
Two different types of novel phenothiazine-embedded dithiasmaragdyrins containing one phenothiazine ring, two thiophene rings and two pyrrole rings connected via three meso carbons and two direct bonds in the macrocyclic framework were synthesized over the sequence of synthetic steps starting with phenothiazine. Three examples of phenothiazine-embedded dithiasmaragdyrins were synthesized by condensing appropriate phenothiazine-based pentapyrrane with pentafluorobenzaldehyde and two examples of phenothiazine sulfone embedded dithiasmaragdyrins were synthesized by condensing phenothiazine-based diol with appropriate meso-aryl dipyrromethane under mild acid-catalysed conditions. 1D&2D NMR studies revealed that the thiophene rings adopted inverted orientation in phenothiazine sulfone embedded dithiasmaragdyrins whereas in phenothiazine-embedded dithiasmaragdyrins, the thiophene rings were in normal orientation. Both types of macrocycles exhibit nonaromatic absorption features and showed panchochromic absorption features in its neutral and protonated forms. The electrochemical studies indicated that the phenothiazine-embedded dithiasmaragdyrins were more electron-rich compared to phenothiazine sulfone embedded dithiasmaragdyrins. DFT studies revealed that both types of dithiasmaragdyrins exhibit significantly distorted structures and TD-DFT studies support the experimental observations.

Abstract
This work reports temperature-dependent shape-changeable two-dimensional (2D) nanostructures by crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) from a chromophore-conjugated poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) homopolymer (PTZ-P1) that contained a polar dye, phenothiazine (PTZ), at the chain-end of the crystallizable PLLA. The CDSA of PTZ-P1 in a polar solvent, isopropanol (iPrOH), by an uncontrolled heating-cooling process, majorly generates lozenge-shaped 2D platelets via chain-folding-mediated crystallization of the PLLA core, leading to the display of the phenothiazines on the 2D surface that confers colloidal stability and orange-emitting luminescent properties to the crystal lamellae. Isothermal crystallization at 60 °C causes a morphological change in PTZ-P1 platelets from lozenge to truncated-lozenge to perfect hexagon under different annealing times, while no shape change was noticed in the structurally similar PTZ-P2 polymer with a longer PLLA chain under similar conditions. This study unveils the complex link between the 2D platelet morphologies and degree of polymerization (DP) of PLLA and the corona-forming dye character. Further, the co-assembly potential of PTZ-P1 with hydrophobic pyrene-terminated PLLAs of varying chain lengths (PY-P1, PY-P2, and PY-P3) was examined, as these two dyes could form a Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) pair on the 2D surface. The impact of the length of the crystallizable PLLA on the photophysical properties of the surface-occupied chromophores revealed crucial insights into interchromophoric interactions on the platelet surface. A reduction in the propensity for π-stacking with increasing chain-folding in longer PLLAs is manifested in the chain-length-dependent FRET efficiencies and excimer emission lifetimes within the resultant monolayered 2D assemblies. The unconventional "butterfly-shaped" molecular architecture of the tested phenothiazine, combined with its varied functional features and polar character, adds a distinctive dimension to the underdeveloped field of CDSA of chromophore-conjugated poly(L-lactides), opening future avenues for the development of advanced nanostructured biodegradable 2D materials with programmable morphology and optical functions.

Abstract
The tractable preparation of Phase I drug metabolites is a critical step to understand the first-pass behaviour of novel chemical entities (NCEs) in drug discovery. In this study, we have developed a structure-electroactivity relationship (SeAR)-informed electrochemical reaction of the parent 2-chlorophenothiazine and the antipsychotic medication, chlorpromazine. With the ability to dial-in under current controlled conditions, the formation of S-oxide and novel S,S-dioxide metabolites has been achieved for the first time on a multi-milligram scale using a direct batch electrode platform. A potential rationale for the electrochemical formation of these metabolites in situ is proposed using molecular docking to a cytochrome P450 enzyme.

Abstract
Alkenes are known to undergo oxidation to radical cations and dications. The radical cations are often highly reactive and not stable under air. Herein, we report the synthesis, isolation, characterization, and molecular structure of an alkene-derived radical cation A, which is stable in air both in the solid state and in solution. The access to this compound was facilitated from E-diamino tri-substituted alkene B as a synthon for the synthesis of A through one-electron oxidation. The E-diamino tri-substituted alkene B was synthesized by the two-electron reduction of N,N'-1,2-propylene-bridged bis-2-phenyl-pyrrolinium cation C. Under two-electron oxidation, alkene B transforms back to cation C involving a double carbocation rearrangement.

Abstract
Based on reported results for the potential medicinal impact of phenothiazine core, as well as the chalcone skeleton that is widely present in many natural products, together with their reported bioactivities, the present work was aimed at combining both moieties in one molecular skeleton and to synthesize and characterize a novel series of chalone-based phenothiazine derivatives. For this purpose, 2-acetylphenothiazine was N-alkylated, followed by the Claisen-Schmidt reaction to produce the chalcones with good yield. Antioxidant activity, as evaluated by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging, was assessed to determine if their antioxidant potential was comparable with ascorbic acid, and attributable to the phenothiazine core. Screening anticancer activities of the synthesized chalone-based phenothiazine derivatives against human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 cells, and human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG-2 cells, compared with standard drugs cisplatin and doxorubicin, was evaluated. The results revealed that compounds 4a, 4b, 4d, 4h, 4j, 4k, 4m, 4o, and 4p were good against human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG-2 cells, and among these compounds 4b and 4k were the most effective compounds, with IC50 values of 7.14 μg/mL and 7.6 1 μg/mL, respectively. On the other hand, compounds 4a, 4b, 4k, and 4m were good against human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 cells and, among these compounds, 4k and 4b were the most effective compounds, with IC50 values of 12 μg/mL and 13. 8 μg/mL, respectively. The overall results suggest that these compounds could, potentially, be further modified for the formation of more potent antioxidant and anticancer agents.

Abstract
The vital effect of radical states on the pharmacological activity of phenothiazine-based drugs has long been speculated. Whereas cationic radicals of N-substituted phenothiazines show high stability, the respective neutral radicals of N-unsubstituted phenothiazines have never been isolated. Herein, the 1,9-diamino-3,7-di-tert-butyl-N1 ,N9 -bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-10H-phenothiazin-10-yl radical (SQH2 . ) is described as the first air-stable, neutral phenothiazinyl free radical. The crystalline dark-blue species is characterized by means of EPR and UV/Vis/near-IR spectroscopy, as well as cyclic voltammetry, spectro-electrochemical analysis, single-crystal XRD, and computational studies. The SQH2 . radical stands out from other aminyl radicals by an impressive radical stabilization energy and its parent amine has one of the weakest N-H bond dissociation energies ever determined. In addition to serving as open-shell reference in medicinal chemistry, its tridentate binding pocket or hydrogen-bond-donor ability might enable manifold uses as a redox-active ligand or proton-coupled electron-transfer reagent.
