Abstract
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are generally small cationic amphipathic peptides, which are thought to be ideal antineoplastic agents, owing to their favorable selectivity to cancer cells and the ability to overcome drug-resistance. In this study, an anticancer AMP (Mastoparan (INLKALAALAKKIL-NH2)) was selected as the lead compound and a series of Mastoparan derivatives were designed. Preliminary studies verified that an analogue of Mastoparan, KM8 (KLLKINLKALAALAKKIL-NH2), exhibited prominent selective antitumor effects. Instead, it presents a significant defect of metabolic instability, with a half-life in plasma of only about 0.5 h. Metabolite profiling of KM8 was performed and indicated the structure 9AL10 in peptide sequence could be the fragile site for KM8. Thus, the Aib (unnatural amnio acid) was employed to substitute the 9Ala residue in KM8, and generating a long-acting KM8 derivative, namely KM8-Aib. Further investigations revealed KM8-Aib possessed higher metabolic stability, more potent anticancer activity in vitro & in vivo, and lower toxicity. Therefore, KM8-Aib is suggested be a potential antimalignant agent that worthy of more in-depth study.

Abstract
The present volume is the third in a trilogy that documents naturally occurring organohalogen compounds, bringing the total number-from fewer than 25 in 1968-to approximately 8000 compounds to date. Nearly all of these natural products contain chlorine or bromine, with a few containing iodine and, fewer still, fluorine. Produced by ubiquitous marine (algae, sponges, corals, bryozoa, nudibranchs, fungi, bacteria) and terrestrial organisms (plants, fungi, bacteria, insects, higher animals) and universal abiotic processes (volcanos, forest fires, geothermal events), organohalogens pervade the global ecosystem. Newly identified extraterrestrial sources are also documented. In addition to chemical structures, biological activity, biohalogenation, biodegradation, natural function, and future outlook are presented.

Abstract
Chlorosulfolipids (CSLs) are major components of flagellar membranes in sea algae. Unlike typical biological lipids, CSLs contain hydrophilic sulfate and chloride groups in the hydrocarbon tail; this has deterred the prediction of the CSL membrane structure since 1960. In this study, we combine coarse-grained (CG) and atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to gain significant insights into the membrane structure of Danicalipin A, which is one of the typical CSLs. It is observed from the CG MD that Danicalipin A lipids form a stable monolayer membrane structure wherein the hydrocarbon moieties are sandwiched by hydrophilic sulfate and chloride groups in both the head and tail regions. On the basis of the mesoscopic structure, we built the corresponding atomistic model to investigate the integrity of the CSL monolayer membrane structure. The monolayer membrane comprising bent lipids shows high thermal stability up to 313 K. The gel-liquid crystalline phase transition is observed around 300 K.

Abstract
The chlorosulfolipids are amphiphilic natural products with stereochemically complex patterns of chlorination and sulfation. Despite their role in toxic shellfish poisoning, potential pharmacological activities, and unknown biological roles, they remain understudied due to the difficulties in purifying them from natural sources. The structure of these molecules, with a charged sulfate group in the middle of the hydrophobic chain, appears incompatible with the conventional lipid bilayer structure. Questions about chlorosulfolipids remain unanswered partly due to the unavailability of structural analogues with which to conduct structure-function studies. We approach this problem by combining enantioselective total synthesis and membrane biophysics. Using a combination of Langmuir pressure-area isotherms of lipid monolayers, fluorescence imaging of vesicles, mass spectrometry imaging, natural product isolation, small-angle X-ray scattering, and cryogenic electron microscopy, we show that danicalipin A (1) likely inserts into lipid bilayers in the headgroup region and alters their structure and phase behavior. Specifically, danicalipin A (1) thins the bilayer and fluidizes it, allowing even saturated lipid to form fluid bilayers. Lipid monolayers show similar fluidizing upon insertion of danicalipin A (1). Furthermore, we show that the halogenation of the molecule is critical for its membrane activity, likely due to sterically controlled conformational changes. Synthetic unchlorinated and monochlorinated analogues do not thin and fluidize lipid bilayers to the same extent as the natural product. Overall, this study sheds light on how amphiphilic small molecules interact with lipid bilayers and the importance of stereochemistry and halogenation for this interaction.

Abstract
Enantiopure (P)4- and (M)4-configured alleno-acetylenic cage (AAC) receptors offer a highly defined interior for the complexation and structure elucidation of small molecule fragments of the stereochemically complex chlorosulfolipid danicalipin A. Solution (NMR), solid state (X-ray), and theoretical investigations of the formed host-guest complexes provide insight into the conformational preferences of 14 achiral and chiral derivatives of the danicalipin A chlorohydrin core in a confined, mostly hydrophobic environment, extending previously reported studies in polar solvents. The conserved binding mode of the guests permits deciphering the effect of functional group replacements on Gibbs binding energies ΔG. A strong contribution of conformational energies toward the binding affinities is revealed, which explains why the denser packing of larger apolar domains of the guests does not necessarily lead to higher association. Enantioselective binding of chiral guests, with energetic differences ΔΔG293 K up to 0.7 kcal mol-1 between diastereoisomeric complexes, is explained by hydrogen- and halogen-bonding, as well as dispersion interactions. Calorimetric studies (ITC) show that the stronger binding of one enantiomer is accompanied by an increased gain in enthalpy ΔH but at the cost of a larger entropic penalty TΔS stemming from tighter binding.

Abstract
We investigated the diastereoselectivity of ring openings for chloro vinyl epoxides with various chlorination reagents. In the chlorinolysis reactions using vinyl epoxides having an allyl alcohol, inversion:retention ratios varied depending on the chloride sources. In limited cases, the increase in retention ratio was consistent with the intervention of chloronium ions. In contrast, all vinyl epoxides bearing an α,β-unsaturated ester gave only the inversion products. These results suggest the electron-withdrawing property suppressed the chloronium ions.

Abstract
An efficient tandem approach to invent highly chlorinated and structurally diversified dihydropyridine fused heterocycles from easily accessible ortho-alkynylaldehydes and primary amines under metal-free conditions via four sequential bond formations is described. The proposed tandem route proceeds via a carbon tetrachloride-mediated 6-endo-dig ring closure followed by nucleophilic attack of the trichloromethyl anion.

Abstract
Seven 1,10-secoguaianolides 1⁻7, including a new one (compound 1), were isolated from Artemisia austro-yunnanensis and identified by HRESIMS and other spectroscopic methods. Their anti-inflammatory effects were evaluated by the model of LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells in vitro. Bioassay results showed that six of them (1⁻4, 6 and 7), with the exception of 5, produce some cytotoxicity on RAW264.7 cells at its high dosage, can significantly decrease the release of NO, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and PGE2 in a dose dependent manner, and down-regulate the expression of proteins iNOS and COX-2. The mechanism study indicated they regulated the NF-κB dependent transcriptional activity through decreasing the phosphorylation of NF-κB. Further, the relationship between their structures and cytokines to anti-inflammatory were studied by PCA and discussed.

Herein we report a novel synthetic reaction to convert unactivated terminal aliphatic epoxide to alkyl vicinal dichloride based on triphosgene-pyridine activation. Our methodology is operationally simple and readily tolerated by a broad of scope of substrates as well as protecting groups. Furthermore, these mild conditions generally yield clean reaction mixtures that are free of byproducts upon aqueous workup.
