Abstract
RIO (right open reading frame) family of kinases including RIOK1, RIOK2 and RIOK3 are known for their role in the ribosomal biogenesis. Dysfunction of RIO kinases have been implicated in malignancies, including acute myeloid leukemia, glioma, breast, colorectal, lung and prostatic adenocarcinoma suggesting RIO kinases as potential targets in cancer. In vitro, in vivo and clinical studies have demonstrated that RIO kinases are overexpressed in various types of cancers suggesting important roles in tumorigenesis, especially in metastasis. In the context of malignancies, RIO kinases are involved in cancer-promoting pathways including AKT/mTOR, RAS, p53 and NF-κB and cell cycle regulation. Here we review the role of RIO kinases in cancer development emphasizing their potential as therapeutic target and encouraging further development and investigation of inhibitors in the context of cancer.

Abstract
The particular and unique mechanism of the copper-catalyzed reaction between azides and alkynes (CuAAC) has not only allowed for the efficient synthesis of 1,2,3-trisubstituted 1,4-triazoles in excellent yields and under mild conditions, becoming the quintessential click reaction, but it has also enabled the straightforward formation of a metallocycle intermediate, the copper triazolyl. This, under suitable reaction conditions able to suppress its protonolysis, can be used either for the creation of new bicyclic triazolyl structures or for the generation of novel three or four-component reactions. The aim of this review is to rationalize and unify all these transformations, which are collectively referred to as "interrupted click reactions".

Abstract
A time-dependent, divergent synthesis of highly functionalized [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrazin-4(5H)-one (reaction time: 12 h) or 6,7-dihydro-[1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrazin-4(5H)-one (reaction time: 2 h) scaffolds via a cascade azide-alkyne cycloaddition/hydroamination protocol is reported. The transformation features good functional group compatibility, broad substrate scope, high atom economy and avoidance of the use of transition-metal catalysts.

Abstract
Right open reading frame kinase 2 (RIOK2) is an atypical kinase and has been proved to be involved in multiple human cancers including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), glioblastoma and anemia. Although tremendous efforts have been devoted to the studies of RIOK2, its biological functions remain poorly understood. It is highly important to develop potent and selective RIOK2 inhibitors as potential research tools to elucidate its functions and as drug candidates for further therapies. We have previously identified a highly potent and selective RIOK2 inhibitor (CQ211). To confirm the importance of the "V-shaped" structure of CQ211 for binding with RIOK2, a variety of tricyclic compounds with different core structures instead of the [1,2,3]triazolo[4,5-c]quinolin-4-one core of CQ211 were designed, synthesized, and the binding affinities of these tricyclic heterocycles with RIOK2 were also evaluated.
