Abstract
The Gulf of Oman is becoming increasingly polluted with plastics, hence bioplastics have been considered 'a substitute', although their biodegradability in marine environments has not been well investigated. Most research has been performed on cellulose-based bioplastics, whereas starch-based bioplastics have proven to be a suitable, but less researched, alternative. This study is the first of its kind designed to investigate the degradability of two different types of starch-based bioplastic bags, available in the market and labeled as "biodegradable", in the pelagic and benthic zones of one of the warmest marine environment in the world. Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) showed a clear reduction in the presence of OH, CH, and CO in the bioplastic bags after 5 weeks of immersion. Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) indicated degradation of glycerol, starch, and polyethylene. The biofouling bacterial communities on bioplastic surfaces showed distinct grouping based on the immersion zone. Candidaatus saccharibacteria, Verrucomicrobiae, Acidimicrobiia and Planctomycetia sequences were only detectable on bioplastics in the pelagic zone, whereas Actinomyces, Pseudomonas, Sphingobium and Acinetobacter related sequences were only found on bioplastics in the benthic layer. We conclude that starch-based bioplastics are more readily degradable in the Gulf of Oman than conventional plastics, hence could serve as a better environmentally friendly alternative.

Abstract
Since decades, the global community has been facing an environmental crisis, resulting in the need to switch from outdated to new, more efficient energy sources and a more effective way of tackling the rising carbon dioxide emissions. The activation of small molecules such as O2, H+, and CO2 in a cost—and energy-efficient way has become one of the key topics of catalysis research. The main issue concerning the activation of these molecules is the kinetic barrier that has to be overcome in order for the catalyzed reaction to take place. Nature has already provided many pathways in which small molecules are being activated and changed into compounds with higher energy levels. One of the most famous examples would be photosynthesis in which CO2 is transformed into glucose and O2 through sunlight, thus turning solar energy into chemical energy. For these transformations nature mostly uses enzymes that function as catalysts among which porphyrin and porphyrin-like structures can be found. Therefore, the research focus lies on the design of novel porphyrinoid systems (e.g. corroles, porphyrins and phthalocyanines) whose metal complexes can be used for the direct electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to valuable chemicals like carbon monoxide, formate, methanol, ethanol, methane, ethylene, or acetate. For example the cobalt(III)triphenylphosphine corrole complex has been used as a catalyst for the electroreduction of CO2 to ethanol and methanol. The overall goal and emphasis of this research area is to develop a method for industrial use, raising the question of whether and how to incorporate the catalyst onto supportive materials. Graphene oxide, multi-walled carbon nanotubes, carbon black, and activated carbon, to name a few examples, have become researched options. These materials also have a beneficial effect on the catalysis through for instance preventing rival reactions such as the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) during CO2 reduction. It is very apparent that the topic of small molecule activation offers many solutions for our current energy as well as environmental crises and is becoming a thoroughly investigated research objective. This review article aims to give an overview over recently gained knowledge and should provide a glimpse into upcoming challenges relating to this subject matter.

Abstract
In this paper, a novel porous polymer capable of coordinating to bismuth (PCPs-Bi) was synthesized. The Bi-PCPs was then reacted with phosphorous acid to produce a novel polymer PCPs(Bi)N(CH2PO3H2)2 which is shown to act as an efficient and recyclable catalyst. The mentioned catalyst was applied for the efficient synthesis of new mono and bis naphthoquinone-based salts of piperidine and/or piperazine via the reaction of hennotannic acid with various aldehydes, piperidine and/or piperazine, respectively. The structure of the resulting mono and bis substituted piperazine or piperidine-based naphthoquinone salts was thoroughly characterized spectroscopically. The electrochemical behavior of the products was also investigated. The presented protocol has the advantages of excellent yields (82-95%), short reaction times (4-30 min) and simple work-up.

Abstract
(S)-Hydroxymandelate synthase (Hms) is a nonheme Fe(II) dependent dioxygenase that catalyzes the oxidation of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate to (S)-4-hydroxymandelate by molecular oxygen. In this work, the substrate promiscuity of Hms is characterized in order to assess its potential for the biosynthesis of chiral α-hydroxy acids. Enzyme kinetic analyses, the characterization of product spectra, quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) analyses and in silico docking studies are used to characterize the impact of substrate properties on particular steps of catalysis. Hms is found to accept a range of α-oxo acids, whereby the presence of an aromatic substituent is crucial for efficient substrate turnover. A hydrophobic substrate binding pocket is identified as the likely determinant of substrate specificity. Upon introduction of a steric barrier, which is suspected to obstruct the accommodation of the aromatic ring in the hydrophobic pocket during the final hydroxylation step, the racemization of product is obtained. A steady state kinetic analysis reveals that the turnover number of Hms strongly correlates with substrate hydrophobicity. The analysis of product spectra demonstrates high regioselectivity of oxygenation and a strong coupling efficiency of C-C bond cleavage and subsequent hydroxylation for the tested substrates. Based on these findings the structural basis of enantioselectivity and enzymatic activity is discussed.

Abstract
The jatrophane diterpene Pl-3, isolated in 2003 from Euphorbia platyphyllos, is a structurally complex natural product with highly promising biological properties that include pronounced antiproliferative activity and the inhibition of the efflux-pump activity of multidrug resistance p-glycoprotein. Herein, the synthesis of the eastern fragment of Pl-3 is outlined. The target compound is synthesized in nine synthetic operations in good overall yield, starting from readily available d-ribose. The key step in the preparation of the eastern part of Pl-3 is a diastereoselective SmI2-mediated Reformatsky reaction. The proposed route is highly flexible and could also be applied to the synthesis of structurally related jatrophane diterpenes.

Abstract
![]()
The drug efflux pump P-glycoprotein (P-gp) has been shown
to promote
multidrug resistance (MDR) in tumors as well as to influence ADME
properties of drug candidates. Here we synthesized and tested a series
of benzophenone derivatives structurally analogous to propafenone-type
inhibitors of P-gp. Some of the compounds showed ligand efficiency
and lipophilic efficiency (LipE) values in the range of compounds
which entered clinical trials as MDR modulators. Interestingly, although
lipophilicity plays a dominant role for P-gp inhibitors, all compounds
investigated showed LipE values below the threshold for promising
drug candidates. Docking studies of selected analogues into a homology
model of P-glycoprotein suggest that benzophenones show an interaction
pattern similar to that previously identified for propafenone-type
inhibitors.

Abstract
An efficient synthesis of C-1 derivatives of 7-deoxypancratistatin is reported. The key steps include the following: selective opening of an epoxide with aluminum acetylide in the presence of an aziridine; solid-state silica-gel-catalyzed opening of an aziridine; and oxidative cleavage of a phenanthrene core and its recyclization to phenanthridone to provide the key C-1 aldehyde 22. The conversion of this aldehyde to C-1 acetoxymethyl and C-1 hydroxymethyl derivatives is described along with the evaluation of their biological activity against several cancer cell lines and in an apoptosis study. The C-1 acetoxymethyl derivative has shown promising activity comparable to that of the natural product. In addition, a total synthesis of trans-dihydrolycoricidine and a formal total synthesis of 7-deoxypancratistatin are reported from aldehyde 22. Detailed experimental and spectral data are provided for all new compounds.

Abstract
The phenanthridone core of pancratistatin lacking all aromatic oxygenation was prepared by cyclotrimerization of acetylene-containing scaffolds 30 and 41, reflecting the natural and the C-1 epi configuration, respectively, of the amino inositol moiety. The cobalt-catalyzed formation of the aromatic core led to bisTMS derivatives 39 and 48, as well as bisacetyl derivative 51. The effectiveness of cyclotrimerization of the natural or trans series was compared with that of the cis series. In addition, the yields of cyclotrimerization were compared for propargylic amines and propargylic amides. Eleven derivatives, including the fully hydroxylated phenantridone 39, were tested against seven cancer cell lines. Three of the compounds displayed activities only an order of magnitude less than those of 7-deoxypancratistatin. Full experimental and spectral details are provided for all key compounds and future projections for the preparation of unnatural analogs of Amaryllidaceae constituents are advanced, along with some new insight into the minimum pharmacophore of pancratistatin.Key words: cyclotrimerization, alkaloids, cobalt catalyst.

Abstract
[reaction: see text] Indole and several indoles functionalized at C-2 were condensed with oxiranes, vinyloxiranes, aziridines, and vinylaziridines in the solid state on the surface of silica. The yields of these reactions were compared to those obtained from Lewis acid-catalyzed ring-opening reactions performed in solution and found to be superior in each case. The solid-phase aziridine opening constituted a key step in the synthesis of the beta-carbolin-1-one mimic of pancratistatin. Methyl 2-indolecarboxylate was found to react on the silica gel surface with N-tosylvinylaziridine in 68% yield. A nine-step synthesis of the pancratistatin mimic has been attained. The additional key transformation in this synthesis involved silica gel-catalyzed opening of an epoxide and hydrolysis of an acetonide. Detailed experimental procedures and full characterization are reported for all new compounds.

Abstract
Biocatalytic approaches have yielded efficient total syntheses of the major Amaryllidaceae alkaloids, all based on the key enzymatic dioxygenation of suitable aromatic precursors. This paper discusses the logic of general synthetic design for lycoricidine, narciclasine, pancratistatin, and 7-deoxypancratistatin. Experimental details are provided for the recently accomplished syntheses of narciclasine, ent-7-deoxypancratistatin, and 10b-epi-deoxypancratistatin via a new and selective opening of a cyclic sulfate over aziridines followed by aza-Payne rearrangement. The structural core of 7-deoxypancratistatin has also been degraded to a series of intermediates in which the amino inositol unit is cleaved and deoxygenated in a homologous fashion. These truncated derivatives and the compounds from the synthesis of the unnatural derivatives have been tested against six important human cancer cell lines in an effort to further develop the understanding of the mode of action for the most active congener in this group, pancratistatin. The results of the biological activity testing as well as experimental, spectral, and analytical data are provided in this manuscript for all relevant compounds.

Abstract
[reaction: see text] epi-7-Deoxypancratistatin containing the cis-fused phenanthridone core was synthesized in 12 steps from bromobenzene. Key features of this synthesis include the enzymatic oxidation of bromobenzene with toluene dioxygenase, selective opening of a cyclic sulfate over an aziridine with oxygen nucleophiles, and an intramolecular Lewis acid-catalyzed cyclization onto an epoxy conduramine derived via aza-Payne rearrangement.

Abstract
A positional isomer of 7-deoxypancratistatin was synthesized in 12 steps from epoxyaziridines 4 and 5. An intermolecular opening of the aziridine rather than the epoxide in the early stages of the synthesis led to 13, which did not match the properties of tetraacetate 10 derived from 7-deoxypancratistatin. At no stage of the synthesis did standard NMR techniques, involving 1H1H or 1H13C coupling, prove adequate for the structure assignment. Unambiguous structure was assigned by 1H15N correlation NMR spectroscopy as well as by the conversion of epoxide 11 to diol 29 synthesized independently by another route. Experimental and spectral details are reported for all new compounds.Key words: 15N NMR spectroscopy, iso-7-deoxypancratistatin, Lewis acid catalyzed intramolecuar opening of epoxides, aminoconduritols.
