New quaternized pyridinium derivatives of betulin: Synthesis and evaluation of membranotropic properties on liposomes, pro- and eukaryotic cells, and isolated mitochondria

Mikhail Dubinin et al.

Summary: The study synthesized pyridinium derivatives of betulin, showing their effects on artificial membrane systems and cytotoxicity in cell models. The presence of methyl groups in the compounds influenced their ability to permeabilize membranes and affect mitochondrial function. The study highlights the dependence of membranotropic and biological actions on the structure and lipophilicity of the derivatives.

Is the Membrane Lipid Matrix a Key Target for Action of Pharmacologically Active Plant Saponins?

Svetlana S. Efimova et al.

Summary: This study systematically analyzed the molecular mechanisms of action of saponins and related compounds on model lipid membranes, demonstrating their effects on membrane hydration layer restructuring, membrane dipole potential alteration, lipid melting and disordering, and lipid packing modifications. It was also found that the ability of saponins to disengage markers from lipid vesicles might be determined by their ability to induce positive curvature stress.

Systematic Study of Quaternary Ammonium Cations for Bromine Sequestering Application in High Energy Density Electrolytes for Hydrogen Bromine Redox Flow Batteries

Michael Kuttinger et al.

Summary: Bromine complexing agents (BCAs) are used to reduce the vapor pressure of bromine in aqueous electrolytes of bromine flow batteries. A study on 38 different quaternary ammonium halides revealed 1-ethylpyridin-1-ium bromide [C2Py]Br as the most suitable BCA for H-2/Br-2-RFB electrolytes.

Evaluation of log P, pKa, and log D predictions from the SAMPL7 blind challenge

Teresa Danielle Bergazin et al.

Summary: The SAMPL7 challenge assessed the accuracy of predicting octanol-water partition coefficients and pK(a), with lower accuracy in log P predictions compared to SAMPL6 and unchanged accuracy in pK(a) predictions. Participants often disagreed on the microscopic transitions producing macroscopic pK(a) values, indicating a need for further improvement in pK(a) prediction methods.
