Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer and remains the leading cause of cancer deaths. Much progress has been made to treat NSCLC, however, only limited patients can benefit from current treatments. Thus, more efforts are needed to pursue novel molecular modalities for NSCLC treatment. It was demonstrated that pseudo-natural products (PNP) are a critical source for antitumor drug discovery. Herein, we describe a CH activation protocol for the expedient construction of a focused library utilizing the PNP rational design strategy. This protocol features a rhodium-catalyzed CH activation/ [4+2] annulation reaction between N-OAc-indole-2-carboxamide and alkynyl quinols, enabling facile access to diverse quinol substituted β-carboline derivatives (31 examples). The anticancer activities were assessed in vitro against NSCLC cell line A549, yielding a potent antiproliferative β-carboline derivative (8r) with an IC50 value of 0.8 ± 0.1 µM. Further investigation revealed that this compound could decrease the expression of Caspase 3, and increase the expression of autophagic protein Cyclin B1, thus markedly inducing autophagy and apoptosis. Mechanistic study suggested that 8r could be a potent anti-NSCLC agent through the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in A549 cells. Moreover, the anticancer activities were also assessed against three other cancer cell lines, and 8r exhibits a broader inhibitory effect on cell proliferation in all cancer cell lines tested. These results indicated that carboline-based PNPs show great potential to induce cell autophagy and apoptosis, which serve as good leads for further drug discovery.

Abstract
An efficient Rh(III)-catalysed C-H functionalization, tandem annulation of cis-stilbene acids using 2-diazo-1,3-diketones was devised. This protocol solely afforded 6,7-dihydrobenzofuran-4(5H)-ones using alicyclic diazocarbonyls via decarbonylation and α-pyrones with aliphatic diazo compounds. The chameleonic nature of cis-stilbene acid was observed with various diazo compounds by altering the additives. This synthetic method furnished good atom-economy and wide functional group tolerance, and also explained the use of carboxylic acids as a directing group. In addition, a mechanistic investigation of the catalysed reaction using ESI-MS, and the fluorescence properties of α-pyrones were well explored.

Abstract
Some new transition metal complexes were prepared by reacting metal(II) salts with Schiff base azines, which were prepared via condensation of 5-(diethylamino) salicylaldehyde and hydrazine with pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde. Their structures were confirmed based on CHN, UV-visible, FT-IR, and EPR measurements. The complexes were also assessed for their antibacterial, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. Some of these chemicals were said to be extraordinarily effective in this respect. The antibacterial activities of the complexes in vitro demonstrated their potential, although the [Cu(L)(bpy] complex was suggested to exhibit moderate activity against pathogens compared to all other in this series. The cytotoxic activity of the prepared analogues showed better cell viability compared with standard cisplatin. Moreover, there is a good agreement between the experimental and theoretical findings from docking and theoretical investigations done using DFT at the B3LYP level.

Abstract
A protocol for carbene insertion into the inert C(sp2)-H bond has been established wherein β-carbolines and isoquinolines are explored as intrinsic directing groups. The Ru(II)-catalyzed strategy employing sulfoxonium ylides as the carbene precursor offers an effective and atom-economical functionalization of substrates of biological interest with only DMSO as the sole by-product. The strategy is scalable to gram scale, and it also showcases a wide range of functional group tolerance. ESI-MS studies assisted in the identification of intermediates and consolidation of a probable mechanistic pathway. Furthermore, investigations revealed that the functionalized molecules not only displayed selective inhibition against cancer cell lines, but also demonstrated promising photophysical properties.

Abstract
The discovery of antifungal agents with novel structure, broad-spectrum, low toxicity, and high efficiency has been the focus of medicinal chemists. Over the past decades, β-carboline scaffold has attracted extensive attention in the scientific community due to its potent and diverse biological activities with nine successfully marketed β-carboline-based drugs. In this review, we summarized the current states and advances in the antifungal activity of natural and synthetic β-carbolines. Additionally, the structure-activity relationships and their antifungal mechanisms targeting biofilm, cell wall, cell membrane, and fungal intracellular targets were also systematically discussed. In summary, β-carbolines have the great potential to develop new efficient scaffolds to combat fungal infections.
