Abstract
Illicit fentanyl and analogues have been involved in many fatalities and cases of intoxication across the United States over the last decade, and are becoming a health concern in Europe. New potent analogues emerge onto the drug market every year to circumvent analytical detection and legislation, and little pharmacological/toxicological data are available when the substances first appear. However, pharmacokinetic data are crucial to determine specific biomarkers of consumption in clinical and forensic settings, considering the low active doses and the rapid metabolism of fentanyl analogues. Phenylfentanyl is a novel analogue that was first detected in seized material in 2017, and little is currently known about this substance and its metabolism. We studied phenylfentanyl metabolic fate using in silico predictions with GLORYx freeware, human hepatocyte incubations, and liquid chromatography-high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS/MS). We applied a specific targeted/untargeted workflow using data-mining software to allow the rapid and partially automated screening of LC-HRMS/MS raw data. Approximately 90,000 substances were initially individuated after 3-h incubation with hepatocytes, and 115 substances were automatically selected for a manual check by the operators. Finally, 13 metabolites, mostly produced by N-dealkylation, amide hydrolysis, oxidation, and combinations thereof, were identified. We suggest phenylnorfentanyl as the main biological marker of phenylfentanyl use, and we proposed the inclusion of its fragmentation pattern in mzCloud and HighResNPS online libraries. Other major metabolites include N-Phenyl-1-(2-phenylethyl)-4-piperidinamine (4-ANPP), 1-(2-phenylethyl)-4-piperidinol, and other non-specific metabolites. Phase II transformations were infrequent, and the hydrolysis of the biological samples is not required to increase the detection capability of non-conjugated metabolites. The overall workflow is easily adaptable for the metabolite profiling of other novel psychoactive substances.

Abstract
Ethionamide (ETH) is one of the most widely used second-line chemotherapeutic drugs for the treatment of multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis. The bioactivation and activity of ETH is dramatically potentiated by a family of molecules called "boosters" among which BDM43266 is one of the most potent. However, the co-administration of these active molecules is hampered by their low solubility in biological media and by the strong tendency of ETH to crystallize. A novel strategy that involves synthesizing a codrug able to self-associate into nanoparticles prone to be taken up by infected macrophages is proposed here. This codrug is designed by tethering N-hydroxymethyl derivatives of both ETH and its booster through a glutaric linker. This codrug self-assembles into nanoparticles of around 200 nm, stable upon extreme dilution without disaggregating as well as upon concentration. The nanoparticles of the codrug can be intranasally administered overcoming the unfavorable physico-chemical profiles of the parent drugs. Intrapulmonary delivery of the codrug nanoparticles to Mtb infected mice via the intranasal route at days 7, 9, 11, 14, 16 and 18 post-infection reduces the bacterial load in the lungs by a factor of 6.

Abstract
A simple and mild method is demonstrated for assembling acyl carbamates through a base-free four-component Pd-catalyzed carbonylation of aryl halides in the presence of potassium cyanate and alcohols in a two-chamber system. This approach produces a wide range of aryl acyl carbamates in good to excellent yields from the corresponding aryl bromides or iodides with near-stoichiometric carbon monoxide. In addition, the method can be extended to the synthesis of primary amides thereby expanding the usefulness of cyanate as an ammonia equivalent.

Abstract
A recent global ban on the use of organotin compounds as antifouling agents has increased the need for safe and effective antifouling compounds. In this study, a series of new butenolide derivatives with various amine side chains was synthesized and evaluated for their anti-larval settlement activities in the barnacle, Balanus amphitrite. Side chain modification of butenolide resulted in butenolides 3c-3d, which possessed desirable physico-chemical properties and demonstrated highly effective non-toxic anti-larval settlement efficacy. A structure-activity relationship analysis revealed that varying the alkyl side chain had a notable effect on anti-larval settlement activity and that seven to eight carbon alkyl side chains with a tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) substituent on an amine terminal were optimal in terms of bioactivity. Analysis of the physico-chemical profile of butenolide analogues indicated that lipophilicity is a very important physico-chemical parameter contributing to bioactivity.

Abstract
The aims of this review were 1) to compile a large number of reliable literature data on the metabolic hydrolysis of medicinal carbamates and 2) to extract from such data a qualitative relation between molecular structure and lability to metabolic hydrolysis. The compounds were classified according to the nature of their substituents (R³OCONR¹R²), and a metabolic lability score was calculated for each class. A trend emerged, such that the metabolic lability of carbamates decreased (i.e., their metabolic stability increased), in the following series: Aryl-OCO-NHAlkyl >> Alkyl-OCO-NHAlkyl ~ Alkyl-OCO-N(Alkyl)₂ ≥ Alkyl-OCO-N(endocyclic) ≥ Aryl-OCO-N(Alkyl)₂ ~ Aryl-OCO-N(endocyclic) ≥ Alkyl-OCO-NHAryl ~ Alkyl-OCO-NHAcyl >> Alkyl-OCO-NH₂ > Cyclic carbamates. This trend should prove useful in the design of carbamates as drugs or prodrugs.

Abstract
Nucleobase containing compounds might constitute a potential alternative to conventional antibiotics in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infections. N4-alkyloxycarbonyl-cytosine derivatives were synthesized and subjected to basic physicochemical characterisation including assessment of hydrolytic stability in various matrices. pH-rate profiles of selected compounds (range 0-12) were constructed. Hydrolysis of the derivatives in slightly alkaline solution (60 degrees C) resulted in quantitative conversion to parent cytosine whereas at acidic pH (60 degrees C) liberation of cytosine was in most cases accompanied by the parallel formation of uracil. Interestingly the lipophilic N4-adamantyloxycarbonyl-cytosine prodrug exhibited a half-life of 41 min (pH 1.1 at 37 degrees C) with quantitative conversion to parent cytosine, the degradation rate being approximately 200 times faster than that of the non-cyclic aliphatic derivatives investigated. The presence of pig stomach homogenates, pepsin A and H. pylori did not have a noteworthy catalytic effect on the hydrolysis of the derivatives. The release of parent cytosine was markedly delayed from alginic acid gels loaded with the acid-labile and poorly soluble ADC prodrug as compared to gels loaded with parent cytosine.
