Abstract
One-pot bioconversion is an economically attractive biorefinery strategy to reduce enzyme consumption. Direct conversion of lignocellulosic biomass for butyric acid production is still challenging because of competition among microorganisms. In a consolidated hydrolysis/fermentation bioprocessing (CBP) the microbial structure may eventually prefer the production of caproic acid rather than butyric acid production. This paper presents a new bioaugmentation approach for high butyric acid production from rice straw. By dosing 0.03 g/L of Clostridium tyrobutyricum ATCC 25755 in the CBP, an increase of 226% higher butyric acid was yielded. The selectivity and concentration also increased to 60.7% and 18.05 g/L, respectively. DNA-sequencing confirmed the shift of bacterial community in the augmented CBP. Butyric acid producer was enriched in the bioaugmented bacterial community and the bacteria related to long chain acids production was degenerated. The findings may be useful in future research and process design to enhance productivity of desired bio-products.

Abstract
In order to systematically explore and understand the structure–activity relationship (SAR) of a lesinurad-based hit (1c) derived from the replacement of the S atom in lesinurad with CH2, 18 compounds (1a–1r) were designed, synthesized and subjected to in vitro URAT1 inhibitory assay. The SAR exploration led to the discovery of a highly potent flexible URAT1 inhibitor, 1q, which was 31-fold more potent than parent lesinurad (IC50 = 0.23 μM against human URAT1 for 1q vs 7.18 μM for lesinurad). The present study discovered a flexible molecular scaffold, as represented by 1q, which might serve as a promising prototype scaffold for further development of potent URAT1 inhibitors, and also demonstrated that the S atom in lesinurad was not indispensable for its URAT1 inhibitory activity.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to study the butyric acid production from softwood hydrolysate by acetate-consuming Clostridium sp. S1. Results showed that Clostridium sp. S1 produced butyric acid by simultaneously utilizing glucose and mannose in softwood hydrolysate and, more remarkably, it consumed acetic acid in hydrolysate. Clostridium sp. S1 utilized each of glucose, mannose, and xylose as well as mixed sugars simultaneously with partially repressed xylose utilization. When softwood (Japanese larch) hydrolysate containing glucose and mannose as the main sugars was used, Clostridium sp. S1 produced 21.17g/L butyric acid with the yield of 0.47g/g sugar and the selectivity of 1 (g butyric acid/g total acids) owing to the consumption of acetic acid in hydrolysate. The results demonstrate potential of Clostridium sp. S1 to produce butyric acid selectively and effectively from hydrolysate not only by utilizing mixed sugars simultaneously but also by converting acetic acid to butyric acid.

Abstract
Six organotin(IV) carboxylates of the type R2SnL2 [R=CH3 (1), n-C4H9 (2), n-C8H17 (3)] and R3SnL [R=CH3 (4), n-C4H9 (5), C6H5 (6), where L=2-(4-ethoxybenzylidene) butanoic acid, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and NMR ((1)H, (13)C). The complex (1) was also analyzed by single crystal X-ray analysis. The complexes were screened for antimicrobial, cytotoxic and anti-tumor activities. The results showed significant activity in each area of the activity with few exceptions. DNA interactions studies of ligand HL and representative complex 2 were investigated by UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy and viscosity measurements. The results showed that both ligand HL and complex 2 interact with SS-DNA via intercalation as well as minor groove binding.

Abstract
Hofmann rearrangement of Nalpha-Boc-L-Gln-OH mediated by a polymer-supported hypervalent iodine reagent poly[(4-diacetoxyiodo)styrene] (PSDIB) in water afforded Nalpha-Boc-L-alpha,gamma-diaminobutyric acid (Boc-Dab-OH, 1) in 87% yield. Nalpha-Z-derivative (Z-Dab-OH, 2) was prepared with PSDIB in 83% yield. Since the reaction of Nalpha-Fmoc-Gln-OH by this procedure did not proceed because of the insolubility of Fmoc-Gln-OH in aqueous media, we synthesized Fmoc-Dab(Boc)-OH (5) from 2 in 54% yield. Polymyxin B heptapeptide (PMBH) which contains four Dab residues was successfully synthesized in a solution-phase synthesis.

Abstract
(Z)-tetracos-5-enoic acid and racemic cis-4-(2-octadecylcyclopropane-1-yl)-butanoic acid have been prepared from 1-eicosene by a new facile route. Periodic acid cleavage of the epoxide of 1-eicosene gave nonadecanal which was condensed with 4-carboxybutyltriphenylphosphonium bromide to give predominately (Z)-tetracos-5-enoic acid. Simmons-Smith type cyclopropanation of (Z)-tetracos-5-enoic acid gave a minor proportion of racemic cis-4-(2-octadecylcyclopropane-1-yl)-butanoic acid accompanied by major amounts of its methyl ester.
