Abstract
Rho-associated coiled-coil kinases (ROCKs) are key downstream effectors of small GTPases. ROCK plays a central role in diverse cellular events with accumulating evidence supporting the concept that ROCK is important in tumor development and progression. Numerous ROCK inhibitors have been investigated for their therapeutic potential in the treatment of cancers. In this article, we review recent research progress on ROCK inhibitors, especially those with potential for the treatment of cancers, reported in the literature from 2015 to 2021. Most ROCK inhibitors show potent in vitro and in vivo antitumor activities and have potential in the treatment of cancers.

Abstract
Cyclobutanone oximes and their derivatives are pivotal core structural motifs in organic chemistry. Iminyl-radical-triggered C-C bond cleavage of cyclobutanone oximes delivers an efficient strategy to produce stable distal cyano-substituted alkyl radicals, which can capture SO2, CO or O2 to form cyanoalkylsulfonyl radicals, cyanoalkylcarbonyl radicals or cyanoalkoxyl radicals under mild conditions. In the past several years, cyanoalkylsulfonylation/cyanoalkylcarbonyaltion/cyanoalkoxylation has attracted a lot of interest. In this updated report, the strategies for trapping SO2, CO or O2via iminyl-radical-triggered ring-opening of cyclobutanone oximes are summarized.

Abstract
A novel Rh(iii)-catalyzed olefination reaction of oxazoles to generate diverse oxazole skeleton derivatives has been realized by directly using oxazole as the directing group. The reaction could tolerate many functional groups, affording complex oxazole derivatives with long chain alkenyls in moderate to good yields, which might find applications in the construction of diverse compounds.

Abstract
DNA small molecular probe study was considered as a promising approach to achieve DNA related disease diagnosis. Most related reports were performed under specific salinity. Herein, 4-imino-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-4H-quinolizine-1-carbonitrile (IPQC) was generated via a facile procedure with high yield (85%). It is found that IPQC could act as a universal probe for most tested ssDNA, dsDNA and G4 DNA in low [K+] concentration (less than 20 mM). However, IPQC showed highly selective G4 DNA binding via UV-vis and fluorescence response in increasing [K+] (e.g., 150 mM) conditions. The ion atmosphere effects are instructive for DNA probe exploration. This provides guidance for the design, selection and optimization of the probes for target DNA sensing. DNA small molecular probe study was considered as a promising approach to achieve DNA related disease diagnosis.![]()

Abstract
In this work, a three-stage and easily scalable synthesis of 2,6-dicyano-4-pyrone (overall yield of 45%) as a new convenient building block has been developed from diethyl acetonedioxalate. It was shown that the transformation with hydroxylamine and [3 + 2]-cycloaddition, in contrast to the reactions with hydrazines, selectively proceed through the attack at the cyano groups without the pyrone ring-opening to give symmetrical and unsymmetrical pyrone-bearing heterocyclic triads containing 1,2,4- and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles as well as tetrazole moieties. The reaction of 2,6-bis(hetaryl)-4-pyrones with ammonia afforded 2,6-bis(hetaryl)pyridines in 63-87% yields. The 4-pyridone/4-pyridinol tautomerism of 2,6-bis(hetaryl)pyridinols and the influence of the nature of adjacent azolyl moieties on this equilibrium have been discussed.

Abstract
Cancer, which has been cursed for human beings for long time is considered as one of the
leading causes of morbidity and mortality across the world. In spite of different types of treatments
available, chemotherapy is still deemed as a favored treatment for the cancer. Unfortunately, many currently
accessible anticancer agents have developed multidrug resistance along with fatal adverse effects.
Therefore, intensive efforts have been made to seek for new active drugs with improved anticancer efficacy
and reduced adverse effects. In recent years, the emergence of heterocyclic ring-containing anticancer
agents has gained a great deal of attention among medicinal chemists. 1,3- oxazole is a versatile
heterocyclic compound, and its derivatives possess broad-spectrum pharmacological properties, including
anticancer activity against both drug-susceptible, drug-resistant and even multidrug-resistant cancer
cell lines through multiple mechanisms. Thus, the 1,3-oxazole moiety is a useful template for the development
of novel anticancer agents. This review will provide a comprehensive overview of the recent
advances on 1,3-oxazole derivatives with potential therapeutic applications as anticancer agents, focus
on the chemical structures, anticancer activity, and mechanisms of action.
