TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis and structural study of eight compounds, either quinolin-4(1H)-ones or quinolines, were reported, both experimentally (1H and 13C NMR) and theoretically [B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)].

TL;DR: A family of hemisalen fluoroborate complexes has been prepared and characterized as discussed by the authors, which exhibit an intense blue emission upon irradiation with UV light, and the introduction of bulky aromatic substituents enhanced the quantum yield considerably, up to 44%.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors revises relevant studies focusing the structure-affinity relationship between flavonoids and key inflammatory markers, underlying the specific structural features involved in these interactions, as well as an approach to some synthetic strategies aiming the enhancement of flavonoid anti-inflammatory properties.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the stability and bioaccessibility of Fucus vesiculosus phlorotannins after being submitted to a simulated digestive process, as well as their possible modulatory effects on gut microbiota and short-chain fatty acids production following a fermentation procedure using fecal inoculates to mimic the conditions of the large intestine.

TL;DR: Yields of crude extract, fucose, and iodine were successfully mathematically modelled with a power law, and its maximum yields were obtained at the highest temperature studied (120 °C) and longest extraction time (4 h).
