Abstract
Simple Summary Multiple myeloma (MM) is a complex white blood cell (plasma cell, PC) cancer. The aetiology of MM is still unknown, and it is still an incurable disease despite efforts by the scientific community. The high level of PC genetic heterogeneity renders MM a complex puzzle to be solved. Combinations of drugs are generally used to treat MM patients, with a general increase in overall survival. Relapsed and refractory MM patients are the generation of patients who resist or do not respond to first-line therapy and need additional treatments. Exploring new sources, such as marine organisms, for drug discovery is fundamental to fighting MM. Various studies have shown that marine natural products (MNPs) might have antiproliferative and cancer-specific cytotoxic properties, giving MNPs a pivotal role in anticancer drug discovery. This review recaps updated frontline treatment options, including new ones developed from MNP research. Abstract Multiple myeloma (MM) is a blood cancer that occurs in the plasma cells (PCs), a type of white blood cell. Despite the progress of several current treatments that prolong the overall patient’s survival, most MM cases are incurable. For this reason, many efforts have been undertaken by the scientific community in the search for new treatments. BLENREPTM and Aplidin® are two marine-derived drugs currently in use for MM. In addition, other natural products have been identified from marine organisms, tested for their possible anticancer properties, and are in preclinical or clinical trials for MM, including cytarabine, a compound in use for leukaemia treatment. Between the most successful marine compounds in fighting MM, there are molecules with specific targets, such as the elongation factor 1-alpha 2 and proteasome inhibitors, and compounds conjugated with antibodies that recognise specific cell types and direct the drug to the correct cell target. Active compounds belong to different chemical classes, from cyclic peptides to alkaloids, highlighting the importance of screening the plethora of compounds produced by marine organisms. In this review, we summarise the current state of art of MM therapies focusing on the marine natural product emerging roles.

Abstract
α-Oxoketenes generated in situ by a thermal Wolff rearrangement have been found to participate as 1,2- and 1,4-ambident C-electrophilic/O-nucleophilic reagents towards donor/acceptor carbonyl-stabilized Wittig ylides. This resulted in the very direct and practical syntheses of functionalized allenes by a normal Wittig olefination, 4H-pyran-4-ones by an abnormal Wittig olefination, or 4H-pyranylidenes following a Wittig/abnormal Wittig cascade sequence as a function of the substrates combination employed. Mechanistic experimental and computational studies provided a full rational for these reactivity switches. Some unusual mechanistic features for Lewis acid-free Wittig olefinations were identified in this series such as the involvement of betaine intermediates and some degree of reversibility in the normal Wittig olefination. The abnormal Wittig olefination was fully uncovered.

Abstract
Mitochondrial respiratory function is now recognized as a pivotal player in all the aspects of cancer biology, from tumorigenesis to aggressiveness and chemotherapy resistance. Among the enzymes that compose the respiratory chain, by contributing to energy production, redox equilibrium and oxidative stress, complex I assumes a central role. Complex I defects may arise from mutations in mitochondrial or nuclear DNA, in both structural genes or assembly factors, from alteration of the expression levels of its subunits, or from drug exposure. Since cancer cells have a high-energy demand and require macromolecules for proliferation, it is not surprising that severe complex I defects, caused either by mutations or treatment with specific inhibitors, prevent tumor progression, while contributing to resistance to certain chemotherapeutic agents. On the other hand, enhanced oxidative stress due to mild complex I dysfunction drives an opposite phenotype, as it stimulates cancer cell proliferation and invasiveness. We here review the current knowledge on the contribution of respiratory complex I to cancer biology, highlighting the double-edged role of this metabolic enzyme in tumor progression, metastasis formation, and response to chemotherapy.

Abstract
Alkoxide-directed metal-centered intermolecular [2+2+2] annulation is shown to chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectively engage two polyunsaturated substrate in productive cyclization chemistry. This annulation process is unique in the field, revealing that it is possible to selectively engage three of five π-systems residing in the coupling partners in initial [2+2+2] reaction, and demonstrating that one of the two remaining π-systems (the TMS-alkyne) can ultimately serve to simply generate a new metallacyclopentene of great potential value in additional metallacycle-mediated coupling chemistry.

Abstract
The piericidin family of microbial metabolites features a 4-pyridinol core linked with a methylated polyketide side chain. Piericidins are exclusively produced by actinomycetes, especially members of the genus Streptomyces. The close structural similarity with coenzyme Q renders the piericidins important NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) inhibitors in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Because of the significant activities of the piericidins, which include insecticidal, antimicrobial and antitumor effects, total syntheses of the piericidins were developed using various synthetic strategies. The biosynthetic origin of this class has also been the subject of investigation. This review covers the isolation and structure determination of the natural piericidins, their chemical modification, the total syntheses of natural and unnatural analogs, their biosynthesis, and reported biological activities together with structure-activity relationships. Given the fundamental biology of this class of metabolites, the piericidin family will likely continue to attract attention as biological probes of important biosynthetic processes.

Abstract
The biologically active lipopeptide kalkitoxin was previously isolated from the marine cyanobacterium Moorea producens (Lyngbya majuscula). Kalkitoxin exhibited N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-mediated neurotoxicity and acted as an inhibitory ligand for voltage-sensitive sodium channels in cultured rat cerebellar granule neurons. Subsequent studies revealed that kalkitoxin generated a delayed form of colon tumor cell cytotoxicity in 7-day clonogenic cell survival assays. Cell line- and exposure time-dependent cytostatic/cytotoxic effects were previously observed with mitochondria-targeted inhibitors of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1). The transcription factor HIF-1 functions as a key regulator of oxygen homeostasis. Therefore, we investigated the ability of kalkitoxin to inhibit hypoxic signaling in human tumor cell lines. Kalkitoxin potently and selectively inhibited hypoxia-induced activation of HIF-1 in T47D breast tumor cells (IC50 5.6 nM). Mechanistic studies revealed that kalkitoxin inhibits HIF-1 activation by suppressing mitochondrial oxygen consumption at electron transport chain (ETC) complex I (NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase). Further studies indicate that kalkitoxin targets tumor angiogenesis by blocking the induction of angiogenic factors (i.e., VEGF) in tumor cells.

Abstract
Palladium-catalyzed 1,4-difunctionalizations of isoprene that produce skipped polyenes are reported. Complex isomeric product mixtures are possible as a result of the difficult-to-control migratory insertion of isoprene into a Pd-alkenyl bond, but good site selectivity has been achieved using easily accessible Pyrox ligands. Mechanistic studies suggest that the control of insertion is the result of the unique electronic asymmetry and steric properties of the ligand.
