https://www.selleckchem.com/products/py-60.html A metal-free route for the synthesis of biarenes has been developed. The approach is based on the photoextrusion of a phosphate moiety occurring upon irradiation of biaryl- and triaryl phosphates. The reaction involves an exciplex as the intermediate and it is especially suitable for the preparation of electron-rich biarenes.The introduction of chiral alkyl substituents into the lower rim of calix[4]arene immobilised in the 1,3-alternate conformation led to a system possessing a preorganised ureido cavity hemmed with chiral alkyl units in the near proximity. As shown by the 1H NMR titration experiments, these compounds can be used as receptors for chiral anions in DMSO-d6. The chiral recognition ability can be further strengthened by the introduction of another chiral moiety directly onto the urea N atoms. The systems with double chiral units being located around the binding ureido cavity showed better stereodiscrimination, with the highest selectivity factor being 3.33 (KL/KD) achieved for N-acetyl-ʟ-phenylalaninate. The structures of some receptors were confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis.As the medical utility of injectable therapeutic peptides is expanding, so is the challenge of developing technologies that allow the administration of such molecules via alternative routes, considering that chronic patients requiring treatment with parenteral formulations are less adherent and compliant to the therapeutic regimens. Hence, substantial efforts have been made to develop technologies that allow the oral formulation of peptides. Due to their importance in the field of pharmaceutical technology, we describe the latest advancements made in the development of oral salmon calcitonin and oral semaglutide, in co-formulation with absorption enhancers such as 8-[(5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzoyl) amino] octanoic acid (or 5-CNAC) and N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl) amino] caprylate (or SNAC). Oral semaglutide is considered to be a landm
