Phenethylamines derivatives such as NBOMes and NBOHs are potent serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonists belonging to the psychedelic class of drugs. They are commonly incorporated in blotter papers and their seizures intensified over the last decades. Infrared spectroscopy combined with a two-stage discriminant model has shown to be a non-destructive, fast, direct, and accurate method easily implemented in forensic laboratories. Details are presented in the Article Identification of Synthetic Drugs on Seized Blotter Papers Using ATR-FTIR and PLS-DA: Routine Application in a Forensic Laboratory by Maísa F. Custódio, Laiz O. Magalhães, Luciano C. Arantes and Jez W. B. Braga on page 513.

A novel and green method for rutin and quercetin secondary metabolites extraction from aerial parts of Bidens pilosa Linné plant was developed. Quantification of the secondary metabolites was carried out by high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet/mass spectrometry (HPLC-UV/MS) and antibacterial capacity evaluation of the extract was done by measuring the inhibition diameter zone of three Gram-positive bacteria.

2,3-Dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepines have been synthesized from o-phenylenediamine and hydroxyacetophenone with several solvents through acid catalysis. Antifungal and antioxidant activities were more expressive for benzodiazepine containing hydroxyl group (R2) at the para-position and R1 equal methyl group.
