Abstract
Coronavirus entry into host cells hinges on the interaction between the spike glycoprotein of the virus and the cell-surface receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), initiating the subsequent clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) pathway. AP-2-associated protein kinase 1 (AAK1) holds a pivotal role in this pathway, regulating CME by modulating the phosphorylation of the μ subunit of adaptor protein 2 (AP2M1). Herein, we report a series of novel AAK1 inhibitors based on previously reported 1,2,4a,5-tetrahydro-4H-benzo[b] [1,4]oxazino[4,3-d] [1,4]oxazine scaffold. Among 23 synthesized compounds, compound 12e is the most potent one with an IC50 value of 9.38 ± 0.34 nM against AAK1. The in vitro antiviral activity of 12e against SARS-CoV-2 was evaluated using a model involving SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus infecting hACE2-HEK293 host cells. The results revealed that 12e was superior in vitro antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 entry into host cells when compared to SGC-AAK1-1 and LX9211, and its activity was comparable to that of a related and reference compound 8. Mechanistically, all AAK1 inhibitors attenuated AAK1-induced phosphorylation of AP2M1 threonine 156 and disrupted the direct interaction between AP2M1 and ACE2, ultimately inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 infection. Notably, compounds 8 and 12e exhibited a more potent effect in suppressing the phosphorylation of AP2M1 T156 and the interaction between AP2M1 and ACE2. In conclusion, novel AAK1 inhibitor 12e demonstrates significant efficacy in suppressing SARS-CoV-2 infection, and holds promise as a potential candidate for developing novel antiviral drugs against SARS-CoV-2 and other coronavirus infections.

Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) inhibitors such as vorinostat (SAHA) has been used to treat hematologic malignancies (rather than solid tumors) and have been found to suppress the JAK/STAT, a critical signal pathway for antitumor immunity, while PARP7 inhibitor RBN-2397 could activate the type I interferons (IFN-I) pathway, facilitating downstream effects such as STAT1 phosphorylation and immune activation. To elucidate whether simultaneous inhibition of these two targets could interfere with these two signal pathways, a series of pyridazinone-based PARP7/HDACs dual inhibitors have been designed, synthesized, and evaluated 7 inhibitor RBN-2397 could activate the type I interferons (IFN-I) pathway, facilitating downstream effects such as STAT1 phosphorylation and immune activation. To elucidate whether simultaneous inhibition of these two targets could interfere with these two signal pathways, a series of pyridazinone-based PARP7/HDACs dual inhibitors have been designed, synthesized, and evaluated in vitro and in vivo experiments. Compound 9l was identified as a potent and balanced dual inhibitor for the first time, exhibiting excellent antitumor capabilities both in vitro and in vivo. This suggests that 9l can be used as a valuable tool molecule for investigating the relationship between anticancer immunity and HDAC inhibition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS We aimed to define gender-specific, optimal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) cut-off values for the prediction of significant liver histological changes (SLHC) in Chinese patients with grey zone (GZ) chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and normal ALT. METHODS In a retrospective study, we included 1101 consecutive patients with GZ CHB and normal ALT assigned to training or internal validation cohorts. We included an independent cohort of 842 patients for external validation. We performed receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, smoothed curve fitting, and threshold effect analyses to determine optimal ALT cut-off values. Area under the curve (AUC) values were calculated to assess their predictive performance. RESULTS A proportion of 79.3% of patients with GZ CHB and normal ALT (≤40 U/L) had SLHC. ROC curve analysis initially identified optimal ALT cut-off values of 29 U/L (male) and 22 U/L (female). After smoothed curve fitting and threshold effect analyses, new optimal cut-off values were 27 U/L for males and 24 U/L for females. AUCs for these values were 0.836 (male) and 0.833 (female) in the internal validation cohort, and 0.849 (male) and 0.844 (female) in the external validation cohort. The accuracy and discriminative ability of the newly defined ALT cut-off values were greater than those of the current recommendations. CONCLUSION This study established novel optimal ALT cut-off values for more precise prediction of SLHC among Chinese patients with GZ CHB and normal ALT levels. This may help identify individuals who will benefit from timely antiviral therapy.

Abstract
During labor, monocytes infiltrate massively the myometrium and differentiate into macrophages secreting high levels of reactive oxygen species and of pro-inflammatory cytokines (i.e. IL-1β), leading to myometrial contraction. Although IL-1β is clearly implicated in labor, its function and that of the inflammasome complex that cleaves the cytokine in its active form, has never been studied on steps preceding contraction. In this work, we used our model of lipopolysaccharide-induced preterm labor to highlight their role. We demonstrated that IL-1β was secreted by the human myometrium during labor or in presence of infection and was essential for myometrial efficient contractions as its blockage with an IL-1 receptor antagonist (Anakinra) or a neutralizing antibody completely inhibited the induced contractions. We evaluated the implication of the inflammasome on myometrial contractions and differentiation stages of labor onset. We showed that the effects of macrophage-released IL-1β in myometrial cell transactivation were blocked by inhibition of the inflammasome, suggesting that the inflammasome by producing IL-1β was essential in macrophage/myocyte crosstalk during labor. These findings provide novel innovative approaches in the management of preterm labor, specifically the use of an inflammasome inhibitor to block the precursor stages of labor before the acquisition of the contractile phenotype.

Abstract
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a significant viral pathogen that causes respiratory infections in infants, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. RSV-related illnesses impose a substantial economic burden worldwide annually. The molecular structure, function, and in vivo interaction mechanisms of RSV have received more comprehensive attention in recent times, and significant progress has been made in developing inhibitors targeting various stages of the RSV replication cycle. These include fusion inhibitors, RSV polymerase inhibitors, and nucleoprotein inhibitors, as well as FDA-approved RSV prophylactic drugs palivizumab and nirsevimab. The research community is hopeful that these developments might provide easier access to knowledge and might spark new ideas for research programs.

Abstract
β-Elemene is the major active ingredient of TCM anticancer drug elemene extracts. To further improve its antitumor activity and poor solubility, a polar HDACi pharmacophore was incorporated its scaffold. Systematic SAR studies led to the discovery of compounds 27f and 39f, which exhibited potent inhibitory activity against HDACs (HDAC1: IC50 = 22 and 9 nM; HDAC6: 8 and 14 nM, respectively). In cellular levels, 27f and 39f significantly inhibited cell proliferation of five tumour cell lines (IC50: 0.79 - 4.42 µM). Preliminary mechanistic studies indicated that 27f and 39f efficiently induced cell apoptosis. Unexpectedly, compound 39f could also stimulate cell cycle arrest in G1 phase. Further in vivo study in WSU-DLCL-2 xenografted mouse model validated the antitumor activities of 27f, without significant toxicity. The results suggest the therapeutic potential of these HDACs inhibitors in lymphoma and provide valuable insight and understanding for further structural optimisation around β-elemene scaffold.

Abstract
Adaptor associated kinase 1 (AAK1), a member of the Ark1/Prk1 family of Ser/Thr kinases, is a specific key kinase regulating Thr156 phosphorylation at the μ2 subunit of the adapter complex-2 (AP-2) protein. Due to their important biological functions, AAK1 systems have been validated in clinics for neuropathic pain therapy, and are being explored as potential therapeutic targets for diseases caused by various viruses such as Hepatitis C (HCV), Dengue, Ebola, and COVID-19 viruses and for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Centreing on the advances of drug discovery programs in this field up to 2023, AAK1 inhibitors are discussed from the aspects of the structure-based rational molecular design, pharmacology, toxicology and synthetic routes for the compounds of interest in this review. The aim is to provide the medicinal chemistry community with up-to-date information and to accelerate the drug discovery programs in the field of AAK1 small molecule inhibitors.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) occurrence and progression are associated with lipid accumulation, insulin resistance, inflammation, liver damage, fibrosis, and other factors. AMP-dependent protein kinase (AMPK) is a key molecule that regulates bioenergy metabolism and participates in multiple biological processes, including lipid metabolism, autophagy, inflammation, and cell apoptosis. Promoting AMPK activation can reduce hepatic lipid accumulation and insulin resistance, alleviate the development of NAFLD, reduce liver inflammation and fibrosis, and inhibit the progression of NAFLD to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

Abstract
Polyphenols such as resveratrol, honokiol and nordihydroguaiaretic acid are widely existing in nature products or synthetic compounds with interesting biological activities. Inspired by their structural feature, a total of 49 1,3-diaryl propane-based polyphenols were designed and synthesized through Claisen rearrangement reaction. New compounds were initially assessed for their anti-proliferative activities against various cancer cell lines (PC-3, U87MG, U251, HCT116) at a concentration of 50 μM, and the results guided the SAR of this series of compounds. Further screening of selected compounds against seven cancer cell lines (three additional colon cancer cell lines namely COLO205, HT29 and SW480 were chosen) led to the identification of two advanced leads 2t and 3t with IC50 values ranging from 8.2 ± 0.1 to 19.3 ± 1.9 μM. Both compounds also showed promising anti-proliferative activities against COLO205 in dose- and time-dependent manners. Furthermore, 2t and 3t exhibited good anti-tumor efficacy in COLO205 xenografted mice model with TGI values ranging from 38% to 58%. These results warrant the further investigation of this series of compounds.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Most small cell lung cancer cases present as Stage IV (M1) or extensive stage (ES-SCLC), which are defined as tumor extending outside the hemithorax without a tolerable radiation portal. The CREST trial demonstrated improved local control with a modest overall survival (OS) benefit at the 2-year secondary endpoint of 14% survival with consolidative thoracic radiotherapy (CTRT) compared to 3% without CTRT. Low toxicity rates were also observed. This study reports our institutional ES-SCLC experience for patients treated with CTRT. MATERIALS/METHODS A retrospective review was conducted on ES-SCLC patients treated with CTRT at our institution between 2014 and 2019. CTRT was defined as ≥30 Gy of thoracic radiotherapy. OS and tolerability of treatment were assessed in this population. Chemotherapy details were also captured. OS rate was determined using the Kaplan-Meier method and the time from start of CTRT to last date of follow-up or death. CTRT tolerability was determined using incidence and grade of esophagitis and radiation pneumonitis as per CTCAE v5. RESULTS We identified 100 ES-SCLC patients treated with any thoracic RT at our institute, of which 45 received thoracic RT for palliative intent or with <30 Gy. The remaining 55 patients received ≥30 Gy CTRT and were included for analysis. The median age was 65.1 years (range 46.6-86.9) and 36 (65%) were male. The median follow-up for this sample was 0.8 (range 0.03-4.2) years. Median chemotherapy cycles were 6 (range 1-6), most receiving ≥4 cycles (87%) and completing chemotherapy prior to CTRT initiation (91%) with a minority concurrently receiving chemotherapy and CTRT (9%). Platinum chemotherapy was the most common (96%) with 2 patients receiving etoposide alone (4%). The most common CTRT regimens were 30 Gy in 10 fractions (80%) followed by 40 Gy in 15 fractions (9%) and 45 Gy in 30 twice-daily fractions (7%). Most patients (67%) were treated with IMRT/VMAT technique, while the remaining (33%) patients were treated with 3DCRT. The median survival time was 1.3 years with 1- and 2-year OS of 57.2% (CI 44.0 - 74.3%) and 26.1% (CI 12.9 - 52.7%), respectively. CTRT was well tolerated with no grade 4+ toxicities. The most common toxicity was esophagitis with 21 patients (39%), of which 15 were G1 (28%) and 6 were G2 (11%). Radiation pneumonitis was present in 5 patients (9.2%) with 1 G1 (2%), 3 G2 (6%), and 1 G3 (2%) cases. CONCLUSION Consolidative TRT for ES-SCLC in this institutional series was at least as good as the reported CREST outcome with modest acute toxicities in this cohort. Disease burden at diagnosis, chemotherapy response, patterns of failure, and subsequent therapies will be further investigated.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) treated with thoracic radiotherapy (RT) are at greater risk of pulmonary toxicity. Automatic universal screening for ILD allows radiation oncologists (ROs) to risk stratify patients and implement necessary modifications to their respiratory monitoring or treatment. Automatic screening however may affect RO workload and so it is imperative to assess the clinical acceptability of this tool. MATERIALS/METHODS We have developed a machine learning algorithm to identify patients who are at high risk of having ILD based on RT planning computed tomography (CT) images. A quality improvement (QI) project was initiated to test feasibility and acceptability of the machine learning algorithm. If positive, the results of the machine learning algorithm were made available to ROs via structured electronic reporting. ROs were prompted to review the patient and consider expert radiologist consultation if thought appropriate. All electronic surveys and qualitative comments were summarized to describe clinical acceptability. Expert radiologist established gold standard ILD status of all patients on the study. A formal review of RO feedback was collected for all screen-positive, true-positive cases. RESULTS Two hundred forty cases were screened of which 45 were flagged as AI-ILD positive and the responsible RO notified. Of these 45 screen-positive cases, all continued on to RT except for 3 patients with tumor progression. From these 45, 24 surveys were completed, 21 had no prior suspicion of ILD. There were 7 true-positives, of which 1 had a survey response. Based on the survey responses, 88% of cases underwent review by the responsible RO. In 16 cases this automatic notification prompted case consultation with an expert radiologist. Expert review was performed from 10 minutes up to 53 hours after the email prompt to the radiologist, with median response time of 1.5 hours. In the 7 screen-positive, true-positive cases, only 2 were not previously known to the responsible RO. In the two cases where true-positive ILD status was previously unknown, one was a mild case of ILD and the other had previously received thoracic RT at this institution without ILD being identified, in both cases the ROs were grateful that this diagnosis was identified prior to treatment. RO confidence in the machine learning prediction was moderate due to the high proportion of false positives. CONCLUSION Based on available survey results, more than 75% of the screen-positive cases were reviewed by the responsible RO and two-thirds of these involved expert radiology input. RO feedback was generally positive and this tool was rated as a net benefit despite the high rate of false-positives and the need for clarification.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Optimal management of patients with Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) who do not achieve PET (positron emission tomography) complete metabolic response after primary systemic therapy is unclear. Options vary significantly and include radiation therapy (RT) to localized sites of PET avid disease, salvage chemotherapy followed by autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT), or observation with serial imaging. This multi-center study sought to investigate the management approaches and outcomes for HL patients who achieved partial metabolic response after primary systemic therapy. MATERIALS/METHODS In this retrospective study, patients diagnosed with HL were identified from the electronic medical records database of two large academic centers between January 2009 and September 2021. PET scan results following initial chemotherapy were reviewed and responses were categorized using International Working Group (IWG) criteria, with the initial staging imaging being used as the reference against which response was evaluated. We performed descriptive analysis of demographic and clinical characteristics of the population and Kaplan-Meier estimates were used to determine progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS The charts of 1,093 HL patients were reviewed. A total of 765 patients had a post chemotherapy PET scan with 57 of those showing partial metabolic response. Among these 57 patients, 31 (54%) were male, the median age at diagnosis was 31 (range:18-74), and the median length of follow up was 1.6 years (average 2.9 years). Five percent stage I, 32% stage II, 23% stage III, and 40% stage IV. Typical initial chemotherapy included ABVD, ABVD switched to BEACOPP due to abnormal interim PET, and AVD with Brentuximab. Among all patients with metabolic partial response to chemotherapy, the 2-year PFS was 72.8% (95% CI = 60.9-87%). Thirty-three of these patients (58%) were treated with planned radiation therapy alone, and 2-year PFS was 80.7% (95% CI = 66.6-97.9%). For those who did not receive radiation as part of their treatment, progression rate was 38% at 2 years. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this is the largest series of HL patients with partial metabolic response following primary chemotherapy. Our preliminary analysis showed that treatment with radiation was associated with good PFS at 2 years and many of those treated with radiation alone were cured.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Radiation pneumonitis (RP) is a common and dose-limiting toxicity following radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) are believed to be at increased risk of developing complications including RP, ILD progression, or death. An automated method to identify patients prior to radiotherapy at high risk of developing toxicities or death may allow clinicians to mitigate risk through informed treatment planning and careful patient monitoring. MATERIALS/METHODS All locally advanced NSCLC patients treated with definitive radiation from 2006-2021 with a minimum 1 year of follow-up were assessed. RP and mortality data were prospectively collected and retrospectively reviewed. A convolutional neural network (CNN) was previously developed and validated to identify patients with radiographic ILD using planning computed tomography (CT) images, with an accuracy of 0.82. Planning CT scans for the retrospective cohort were used as input to the CNN, with artificial intelligence-screened ILD (AI-ILD) score as an output. AI-ILD scores above our established threshold were labeled as AI-ILD+. The association between AI-ILD score, AI-ILD+/-, mean lung dose (MLD), and the primary outcome of grade ≥2 (G2+) RP or mortality, as well as the secondary outcomes of G2+ RP and mortality were assessed using Wilcoxon rank sum test, univariate and multivariable logistic regression, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. RESULTS Of 799 patients reviewed, 745 eligible patients were included in the analysis; grade 0-5 RP was reported in 51.3%, 27.1%, 16.9%, 4.0%, 0.1%, and 0.5% of patients respectively. Overall, 22.9% of patients were AI-ILD+, and therefore at high risk (>20% chance) of having true ILD. On UVA, AI-ILD score, AI-ILD+ and MLD were significantly associated with the primary outcome of G2+ RP or mortality, as well as the secondary outcome of mortality. However, only MLD was significantly associated with the secondary outcome of G2+ RP. On MVA, both AI-ILD+ (OR 1.42, 95% CI 1.02-1.97, p = 0.04) and MLD (OR 1.13, 95% 1.05-1.21, p = 0.008) were significantly associated with G2+ RP or mortality. On Kaplan-Meier analysis, the median toxicity-free survival (TFS) time for AI-ILD+ and AI-ILD- patients were 1.7 and 3.4 years respectively, with a 2-year TFS of 48.3% vs. 59.3% (log-rank test: p = 0.02). There was no significant difference in rates of G2+ RP. CONCLUSION The AI-ILD algorithm can detect high risk patients with significantly decreased TFS following definitive treatment for NSCLC. AI-ILD classification was not associated with a significant difference in rates of RP when accounting for MLD. Future work will focus on improving the classification algorithm, expert radiologist validation of this dataset, and exploring reasons for the mortality difference in AI-ILD+ patients.

Abstract
A series of dihydropyridinone (DHP) compounds was prepared and evaluated for MGAT2 activity. The efforts led to the identification of novel tetrazolones with potent MGAT2 inhibitory activity and favorable in vitro profiles. Further tests of select analogues in mouse models revealed significant reduction in food intake and body weight. Subsequent studies in MGAT2 knockout mice with the lead candidate 12 (BMS-986172) showed on-target- and mechanism-based pharmacology. Moreover, its favorable pharmacokinetic (PK) profile and the lack of species variability in the glucuronidation potential resulted in a greater confidence level in the projection of a low dose for achieving targeted efficacious exposures in humans. Consistent with these projections, PK data from a phase 1 trial confirmed that targeted efficacious exposures could be achieved at a low dose in humans, which supported compound 12 as our second and potentially superior development candidate for the treatment of various metabolic disorders.

Abstract
The domino cyclization/coupling strategy is one of the most effective methods to produce cyclized and multi-functionalized compounds from olefins, which has attracted huge attention from chemists and biochemists especially for its considerable potential of enantiocontrol. Nowadays, more and more studies are developed to achieve difunctionalization of substituted olefins through an asymmetric domino intramolecular cyclization/cascade reaction, which is still an elegant choice to accomplish several synthetic ideas such as complex natural products and drugs. This review surveys the recent advances in this field through reaction type classification. It might serve as useful knowledge desktop for the community and accelerate their research.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of critical burn patients complicated with invasive fungal infection. Methods: A retrospective case series study was conducted. From January 2017 to December 2022, 88 critical burn patients combined with invasive fungal infection who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Zhengzhou First People's Hospital, including 61 males and 27 females, aged 26-74 years. Data on invasive fungal infection sites and the detection of pathogens in patients were recorded. According to the survival outcome within 28 days after admission, the patients were divided into survival group (63 cases) and death group (25 cases). The following data of patients were compared between the two groups, including the basic data and injuries of patients at admission such as age, sex, body weight, total burn area, combination of inhalation injury, combination of hypertension and diabetes, acute physiology and chronic health status evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score, and admission time after burns, the levels of blood biochemical indexes within 24 h after admission such as white blood cell count, platelet count, red blood cell count, monocyte count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, glucose, creatinine, urea nitrogen, D-dimer, galactomannan (GM), 1,3-β-D glucan, and creatine kinase, the application of invasive procedures and vasoactive drugs during the treatment such as continuous renal replacement therapy, ventilator-assisted breathing, tracheotomy, deep vein catheterization, skin grafting >2 times, the levels of infection indicators on post admission day (PAD) 1, 3, 7, and 14 including C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin, lactic acid, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and the detection of pathogens in the process of treatment. Data were statistically analyzed with independent sample t test, analysis of variance for repeated measurement, chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Bonferroni correction. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to screen the independent risk factors that affected death of critical burn patients complicated with invasive fungal infection. Results: The main sites of invasive fungal infection were the wounds (67 cases) and blood stream (46 cases), with Candida fungi (58 strains) as the main strain for fungi infection, and there were a total of 30 cases of infection with mixed pathogenic bacteria. Compared with those in survival group, the APACHE Ⅱ score, proportions of combination with inhalation injury and hypertension of patients in death group were significantly increased (t=2.11, with χ2 values of 6.26 and 9.48, respectively, P<0.05), while the other basic data and injury condition had no significant changes (P>0.05). Compared with those in survival group, the levels of D-dimer, GM, and 1,3-β-D glucan of patients in death group were significantly increased within 24 h after admission (with t values of 2.42, 2.05, and 2.21, respectively, P<0.05), while the other blood biochemical indexes within 24 h after admission, as well as the proportions of applying invasive procedures and application of vasoactive drugs during the treatment process were not significantly changed (P>0.05). The levels of infection indicators of patients on PAD 1 and 3 were similar between the two groups (P>0.05). The procalcitonin level on PAD 7 and the levels of CRP, procalcitonin, lactic acid, IL-6, and TNF-α on PAD 14, as well as the proportion of infection with mixed pathogenic bacteria of patients in death group were significantly higher than those in survival group (with t values of 4.69, 3.89, 6.70, 6.14, 4.65, and 3.26, respectively, χ2=12.67, P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that combination with inhalation injury, combination with hypertension, and infection with mixed pathogenic bacteria were independent risk factors for death of critical burn patients complicated with invasive fungal infection (with odds ratios of 5.98, 4.67, and 6.19, respectively, 95% confidence intervals of 1.42-15.39, 1.41-25.28, and 1.86-20.58, respectively, P<0.05). Conclusions: The main sites of infection in critical burn patients complicated with invasive fungal infection are the wounds and blood stream, with Candida fungi as the main strain for fungi infection, and a large proportion of infection with mixed pathogenic bacteria. The combined inhalation injury, combined hypertension, and infection with mixed pathogenic bacteria are the independent risk factors for the death of those patients.

Abstract
A proportion of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers with normal alanine transaminase (ALT) present with significant liver histological changes (SLHC). To construct a noninvasive nomogram model to identify SLHC in chronic HBV carriers with different upper limits of normal (ULNs) for ALT. The training cohort consisted of 732 chronic HBV carriers who were stratified into four sets according to different ULNs for ALT: chronic HBV carriers I, II, III, and IV. The external validation cohort comprised 277 chronic HBV carriers. Logistic regression and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator analyses were applied to develop a nomogram model to predict SLHC. A nomogram model-HBGP (based on hepatitis B surface antigen, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, and platelet count) demonstrated good performance in diagnosing SLHC with area under the curve (AUCs) of 0.866 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.839-0.892) and 0.885 (95% CI: 0.845-0.925) in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. Furthermore, HBGP displayed high diagnostic values for SLHC with AUCs of 0.866 (95% CI: 0.839-0.892), 0.868 (95% CI: 0.838-0.898), 0.865 (95% CI: 0.828-0.901), and 0.853 (95% CI: 0.798-0.908) in chronic HBV carriers I, II, III, and IV, respectively. Additionally, HBGP showed greater ability in predicting SLHC compared with the existing predictors. HBGP has shown high predictive performance for SLHC, and thus may lead to an informed decision on the initiation of antiviral treatment.

Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are validated targets for the development of anticancer drugs in epigenetics. We have designed and synthesized a series of novel HDACs inhibitors based on pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine and pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine scaffolds. Compound B3 exhibits potent inhibitory activity against HDAC1 and HDAC6 with IC50 values of 5.2 nM and 4.4 nM, respectively. It exhibited potent anti-proliferative effects against three tumour cell lines (IC50 = 0.13, 0.37, and 1.11 µM, MV-4-11, K562, and WSU-DLCL-2 respectively) with 2-6 fold improvement comparing to SAHA. Mechanistic studies on WSU-DLCL-2 cell reveal that B3 exhibits anticancer effects through induction of G0/G1 phase arrest and promotion of apoptosis. The result warrants further investigation of this series of compounds for the treatment of hematological malignancy.

Abstract
This study aimed to design and synthesize active hybrids of β-elemene and nitric oxide (NO) donor pharmacophore as potential agents for treating leukemia. Derivatives reported herein exerted better inhibitory effects against human chronic myeloid leukemia K562 cells compared to β-elemene (IC50 > 100 μM). The most potent compound 18f showed an IC50 value of 0.53 μM against K562 cells, as well as a high NO release level in vitro. In the K562 xenograft tumor mice model, compound 18f effectively inhibited the growth of the tumor, with a significant inhibition rate of 73.18%. After treatment with compound 18f, the body weight of mice did not decrease, indicating that it possessed good safety profile. All these proved that compound 18f was an excellent potential agent against leukemia.

Abstract
This paper describes an efficient strategy to promote alkenyl thioetherifications via the Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling of inactivated or β-aryl-substituted (E)-alkenyl halides with thio-alcohols/phenols. The present strategy with easy-to-operate reaction conditions represents one of the most effective alkenyl C(sp2)-S bond-forming methods via readily accessible nickel catalysis. Notably, the mildly basic conditions employed facilitate access to a broad scope including protected amino acids, saccharides, and heterocycles. Moreover, this work presents its attractive usefulness by the application in late-stage modifications of several structurally complex natural products and pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
Genetics, age, environmental factors, and oxidative stress have all been implicated in the development of Parkinson's disease (PD); however, a complete understanding of its pathology remains elusive. At present, there is no cure for PD, and currently available therapeutics are insufficient to meet patient needs. Ferroptosis, a distinctive iron-dependent cell death mode characterized by lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress, has pathophysiological features similar to those of PD, including iron accumulation, reactive oxygen species-induced oxidative damage, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Ferroptosis has been identified as a specific pathway of neuronal death and is closely related to the pathogenesis of PD. Despite the similarities in the biological targets involved in PD pathogenesis and ferroptosis, the relationship between novel targets in PD and ferroptosis has been neglected in the literature. In this review, the mechanism of ferroptosis is discussed, and the potential therapeutic targets implicated in both PD and ferroptosis are compared. Furthermore, the anti-PD effects of several ferroptosis inhibitors, as well as clinical studies thereof, and the identification of novel lead compounds for the treatment of PD and the inhibition of ferroptosis are reviewed. It is hoped that this review can promote research to further elucidate the relationship between ferroptosis and PD and provide new strategies for the development of novel ferroptosis-targeting PD therapy.

Abstract
Chiral oxazoline compounds play an extremely important role in asymmetric synthesis and drug discovery. Herein a simpler, greener and more efficient microwave-assisted protocol to rapidly access chiral oxazolines is developed using aryl nitriles or cyano-containing compounds and chiral β-amino alcohols as starting materials. The reaction proceeds smoothly in the presence of a recoverable heterogeneous catalyst in either concentrated solution or under solvent-free conditions. The advantages of this method include rapidness, convenience, environmental protection, high atom economy, and excellent yields. The protocol should find wider application in the community in the future.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds are a common complication of diabetic patients, and the incidence has been increasing in recent years. In addition, its poor clinical prognosis seriously affects the quality of life of patients, which has become the focus and difficulty of diabetes treatment. As the RNA regulating gene expression, non-coding RNA can regulate the pathophysiological process of diseases, and play an important role in the healing process of diabetic wounds. In this paper, we reviewed the regulatory role, diagnostic value, and therapeutic potential of three common non-coding RNA in diabetic wounds, in order to provide a new solution for the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic wounds at the genetic and molecular level.

Abstract
β-Elemene, a compound extracted from Chinese herb Curcuma wenyujin, has been demonstrated with antitumor effects in various cancers, including glioblastoma (GBM), a primary brain tumor with high morbidity and mortality. In this study, we reported a bisamino derivative of β-Elemene, 2, 2'-((1R, 3R, 4S)-4-methyl-4-vinylcyclohexane-1, 3-diyl) bis(prop-2-en-1-amine) (compound 1), displayed a better anti-GBM effect than β-Elemene with lower concentration. GBM cell lines (C6 and U87) were treated with compound 1 and subsequently analyzed by several assays. Compound 1 significantly inhibited the migration of C6 and U87 cells based on wound healing assay, transwell assay and inverted migration assay. Furthermore, colony formation assay, immunostaining and flow cytometry assays revealed that compound 1 significantly inhibited the proliferation of GBM cells. In addition, compound 1 induced the apoptosis of GBM cells. Mechanistically, we found Yes-associated protein (YAP) was down-regulated in compound 1-treated GBM cells, and the overexpression of YAP partially rescued the anti-GBM effects of compound 1. Finally, compound 1 suppresses the GBM growth in xenograft model through inactivation YAP signaling. Taken together, these results reveal that a novel derivative of β-Elemene, compound 1, exhibits more potent anti-GBM activity than β-Elemene through inactivating YAP signaling pathway, which will provide novel strategies for the treatment of GBM.

Abstract
Alkenes represent one of the most useful building blocks for organic synthesis, owing to their abundance and versatile reactivity. Transition metal (Pd, Cu, Co, Ni, Fe, etc.) catalyzed difunctionalization of alkenes provides efficient access to substituted molecules from readily available alkenes by installing functional groups across their carbon-carbon double bonds. Particularly, Nickel-based catalytic complexes have attracted a great deal of attention. This is because they are prone to undergoing oxidative addition and slow β-hydride elimination, and can access both two-electron and radical pathways. Numerous elegant Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling methods, e.g., (hetero)arylboration, alkenylboration, alkylboration and alkynylboration of alkenes, have been developed with broad scopes and a high tolerance to a variety of functional groups. Therefore, the Ni-catalyzed carboboration of alkenes has become an efficient synthetic protocol to deliver substituted compounds by the cross-coupling of alkenes, electrophiles, and B2Pin2. Despite this progress, a number of challenging issues remaining in the field include broadening the types of carboboration reactions, especially the asymmetric ones, diversifying electrophile types (which is limited to halogens for now) and gaining profound insight into the reaction mechanisms. This review summarizes the recent progress in this emerging field from the literature published since 2018. It will provide the scientific community with convenience to access collective information and to accelerate their further research in order to broaden the scope of methodology and application in drug discovery programs.

Abstract
Protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs), enzymes catalyzing the methylation of target proteins, play an essential role in maintaining functional homeostasis in normal physiology. Aberrant expressions and enhanced enzymatic activities of PRMTs have been closely associated with pathological states such as cancer, inflammatory, immune, metabolic, and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, the development of inhibitors targeting PRMTs has attracted a great deal of attention in both pharmaceutical industries and academic community. This review focuses on the small-molecule inhibitors targeting PRMTs in cancer therapy in the patents published since 2019. The recent clinical development is also discussed here. In recent years, the discovery of small-molecule PRMT inhibitors, especially PRMT5 inhibitors has become a rapidly expanding research area for cancer therapy. Although a number of potent PRMT inhibitors with different chemical scaffolds have been developed and nine of them have entered into clinical trials, their scaffolds are relatively less diverse. Sub-type selectivity should be considered in drug discovery as nonselective inhibition of PRMTs may cause undesirable pharmacological effects. Hence, the development of new effective inhibitors with isoform-specific and tumor-biased distributions remains an important area for further studies.

Abstract
A series of novel N-alkyl-N-hydroxyl carboximates derived from β-elemene were fortuitously discovered. Most of them showed more potent anti-proliferative activities than their lead compound β-elemene (1). Notably, compound 11i exhibited significant inhibitory effects on the proliferation of three lung cell lines (H1975, A549 and H460) and several other tumour cell lines (H1299, U87MG, MV4-11, and SU-DHL-2). Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed that compound 11i could significantly induce cell apoptosis. Further in vivo study in the H460 xenograft mouse model validated the anti-tumour activities of 11i with a greater tumour growth inhibition (TGI, 68.3%) than β-elemene and SAHA (50.1% and 55.9% respectively) at 60 mg/kg ip dosing, without obvious body weight loss and toxicity. Thus, such N-alkyl-N-hydroxyl carboximate class of compounds exemplified as 11i demonstrated potent anticancer activities both in vitro and in vivo, and should warrant further investigation for potential anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Carbetocin or oxytocin are given routinely as first-line uterotonic drugs following delivery of the neonate during caesarean delivery to prevent postpartum haemorrhage. Low doses may be as effective as high doses with a potential reduction in adverse effects. In this double-blind, randomised, controlled, non-inferiority trial, we assigned low-risk patients undergoing elective caesarean delivery under spinal anaesthesia to one of four groups: carbetocin 20 μg; carbetocin 100 μg; oxytocin 0.5 IU bolus + infusion; and oxytocin 5 IU bolus + infusion. The study drug was given intravenously after delivery of the neonate. Uterine tone was assessed by the obstetrician 2, 5 and 10 minutes after study drug administration according to an 11-point verbal numerical rating scale (0 = atonic, 10 = excellent tone). The primary outcome measure was uterine tone 2 min after study drug administration. The pre-specified non-inferiority margin was 1.2 points on the 11-point scale. Secondary outcomes included uterine tone after 5 and 10 minutes, use of additional uterotonics, blood loss and adverse effects. Data were available for 277 patients. Carbetocin 20 μg resulting in uterine tone of (median (IQR [range])) 8 (7-8 [1-10]) was non-inferior to carbetocin 100 μg with tone 8 (7-9 [3-10]), median (95%CI) difference 0 (-0.44-0.44). Similarly, oxytocin 0.5 IU with tone 7 (6-8 [3-10]) was non-inferior to oxytocin 5 IU with tone 8 (6-8 [2-10]), median (95%CI) difference 1 (0.11-1.89). Carbetocin 20 μg was also non-inferior to oxytocin 5 IU, and oxytocin 0.5 IU was non-inferior to carbetocin 100 μg. Uterine tone after 5 and 10 minutes, use of additional uterotonics, blood loss and adverse effects were similar in all groups.

Abstract
Herein, we present a facile and efficient allylation method via Ni-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling of readily available allylic acetates with a variety of substituted alkenyl bromides using zinc as the terminal reductant. This Ni-catalyzed modular approach displays excellent functional group tolerance and a broad substrate scope, which the creation of a series of 1,4-dienes including several structurally complex natural products and pharmaceutical motifs. Moreover, the coupling strategy has the potential to realize enantiomeric control. The practicality of this transformation is demonstrated through the potent modification of the naturally antitumor active molecule β-elemene.

Abstract
Since their discovery in 1970s, Katritzky salts have emerged as one of the most important classes of building blocks for use in organic synthesis and drug discovery. These bulky pyridinium salts derived from alkylamine can readily generate alkyl radical and undergo a variety of organic transformation reactions such as alkylation, arylation, alkenylation, alkynylation, carbonylation, sulfonylation, and borylation. Through these transformations, complexed molecules bearing new C-C, C-B, or C-S bonds can be constructed in easy ways and in simple steps. This review aims to summarize recent advances in these versatile building blocks in well-classified categories. Representative examples and their reaction mechanisms are discussed. The hope is to provide the scientific community with convenient access to collective information and accelerate further research.

Abstract
As the number of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) increases, it brings great suffering to their families and causes a heavy socioeconomic burden to society. A vast amount of funds and a mass of research have been devoted to elucidating the pathology of AD. However, the main pathogenesis is still elusive, and its mechanism is not completely clear. Research on the mechanisms of AD mainly focuses on the amyloid cascade, tau protein, neuroinflammation, metal ions, and oxidative stress hypotheses. Oxidative stress is as a bridge that connects the different hypotheses and mechanisms of AD. It is a process that causes neuronal damage and occurs in various pathways. Oxidative stress plays a critical role in AD and can even be considered a crucial central factor in the pathogenesis of AD. Previous reviews have also summarized the role of oxidative stress in AD, but these mainly review a specific signaling pathway. Taking oxidative stress as the central point, this review comprehensively expands on the roles of oxidative stress that are involved in the pathogenesis of AD. The vivid and easy-to-understand figures systematically clarify the connected roles of oxidative stress in AD and allow readers to further understand oxidative stress and AD.

Abstract
As one of the key phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-related kinases (PIKKs) family members, ataxia telangiectasia and RAD3-related protein kinase (ATR) is crucial in maintaining mammalian cell genomic integrity in DNA damage response (DDR) and repair pathways. Dysregulation of ATR has been found across different cancer types. In recent years, the inhibition of ATR has been proven to be effective in cancer therapy in preclinical and clinical studies. Importantly, tumor-specific alterations such as ATM loss and Cyclin E1 (CCNE1) amplification are more sensitive to ATR inhibition and are being exploited in synthetic lethality (SL) strategy. Besides SL, synergistic anticancer effects involving ATRi have been reported in an increasing number in recent years. This review focuses on the recent advances in different forms of synergistic antitumor effects, summarizes the pharmacological benefits and ongoing clinical trials behind the biological mechanism, and provides perspectives for future challenges and opportunities. The hope is to draw awareness to the community that targeting ATR should have great potential in developing effective anticancer medicines.

Abstract
A series of N-propargylamine-hydroxamic acid/o-aminobenzamide hybrids inhibitors combining the typical pharmacophores of hydroxamic acid/o-aminobenzamide and propargylamine were designed and synthesized as HDAC1/MAO-B dual inhibitors for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Most of the hybrids displayed moderate to good MAO-B inhibitory activities. Among them, Hybrid If exhibited the most potent activity against MAO-B and HDAC1 (MAO-B, IC50 = 99.0 nM; HDAC1, IC50 = 21.4 nM) and excellent MAO selectively (MAO-A, IC50 = 9923.0 nM; SI = 100.2). Moreover, compound If significantly reversed Aβ1-42-induced PC12 cell damage and decreased the production of intracellular ROS, exhibiting favorable antioxidant activity. More importantly, hybrid If instantly penetrated the BBB and accumulated in brain tissue as well as markedly ameliorated cognitive dysfunction in a Morris water maze ICR mice model. In summary, HDAC1/MAO-B dual inhibitor If is a promising potential agent for the therapy of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Maternal obesity is associated with a wide spectrum of labour disorders, including preterm birth. Leptin, a pro-inflammatory adipokine and a key factor of obesity, is suspected to play a major role in these disorders. OB-R, its receptor, is expressed on macrophages and myocytes, two cell types critical for labour onset. Macrophages secrete reactive oxygen species/pro-inflammatory cytokines, responsible for myometrial differentiation while myocytes control uterine contractions. In this study, we assessed the effect of leptin on myometrial contraction and differentiation using our validated co-culture model of human primary macrophages and myocytes. We demonstrated that leptin had a different effect on myocytes and macrophages depending on the dose. A low leptin concentration induced a tocolytic effect by preventing myocytes’ contraction, differentiation, and macrophage-induced ROS production. Additionally, leptin led to an increase in HLA-G expression, suggesting that the tocolytic effect of leptin may be driven by HLA-G, a tolerogenic molecule. Finally, we observed that recombinant HLA-G also prevented LPS-induced ROS production by macrophages. Altogether, these data provide a putative molecular mechanism by which leptin may induce immune tolerance and therefore interfere with labour-associated mechanisms. Therefore, HLA-G represents a potential innovative therapeutic target in the pharmacological management of preterm labour.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the value of cerebral hypoxic-ischemic injury markers in the early diagnosis of sepsis associated encephalopathy (SAE) in burn patients with sepsis. Methods: A retrospective case series study was conducted. From October 2018 to May 2021, 41 burn patients with sepsis who were admitted to Zhengzhou First People's Hospital met the inclusion criteria, including 23 males and 18 females, aged 18-65 (35±3) years. According to whether SAE occurred during hospitalization, the patients were divided into SAE group (21 cases) and non-SAE group (20 cases). The gender, age, deep partial-thickness burn area, full-thickness burn area, and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) scores of patients were compared between the two groups. The serum levels of central nervous system specific protein S100β and neuron specific enolase (NSE) at 12, 24, and 48 h after sepsis diagnosis (hereinafter referred to as after diagnosis), the serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), Tau protein, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and cortisol at 12, 24, 48, 72, 120, and 168 h after diagnosis, and the mean blood flow velocity of middle cerebral artery (VmMCA), pulsatility index, and cerebral blood flow index (CBFi) on 1, 3, and 7 d after diagnosis of patients in the two groups were counted. Data were statistically analyzed with chi-square test, analysis of variance for repeated measurement, independent sample t test, and Bonferroni correction. The independent variables to predict the occurrence of SAE was screened by multi-factor logistic regression analysis. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn for predicting the occurrence of SAE in burn patients with sepsis, and the area under the curve (AUC), the best threshold, and the sensitivity and specificity under the best threshold were calculated. Results: The gender, age, deep partial-thickness burn area, full-thickness burn area, and APACHE Ⅱ score of patients in the two groups were all similar (χ2=0.02, with t values of 0.71, 1.59, 0.91, and 1.07, respectively, P>0.05). At 12, 24, and 48 h after diagnosis, the serum levels of S100β and NSE of patients in SAE group were all significantly higher than those in non-SAE group (with t values of 37.74, 77.84, 44.16, 22.51, 38.76, and 29.31, respectively, P<0.01). At 12, 24, 48, 72, 120, and 168 h after diagnosis, the serum levels of IL-10, Tau protein, and ACTH of patients in SAE group were all significantly higher than those in non-SAE group (with t values of 10.68, 13.50, 10.59, 8.09, 7.17, 4.71, 5.51, 3.20, 3.61, 3.58, 3.28, 4.21, 5.91, 5.66, 4.98, 4.69, 4.78, and 2.97, respectively, P<0.01). At 12, 24, 48, 72, and 120 h after diagnosis, the serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-α of patients in SAE group were all significantly higher than those in non-SAE group (with t values of 8.56, 7.32, 2.08, 2.53, 3.37, 4.44, 5.36, 5.35, 6.85, and 5.15, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01). At 12, 24, and 48 h after diagnosis, the serum level of cortisol of patients in SAE group was significantly higher than that in non-SAE group (with t values of 5.44, 5.46, and 3.55, respectively, P<0.01). On 1 d after diagnosis, the VmMCA and CBFi of patients in SAE group were significantly lower than those in non-SAE group (with t values of 2.94 and 2.67, respectively, P<0.05). On 1, 3, and 7 d after diagnosis, the pulsatile index of patients in SAE group was significantly higher than that in non-SAE group (with t values of 2.56, 3.20, and 3.12, respectively, P<0.05 or P<0.01). Serum IL-6 at 12 h after diagnosis, serum Tau protein at 24 h after diagnosis, serum ACTH at 24 h after diagnosis, and serum cortisol at 24 h after diagnosis were the independent risk factors for SAE complicated in burn patients with sepsis (with odds ratios of 2.42, 1.38, 4.29, and 4.19, 95% confidence interval of 1.76-3.82, 1.06-2.45, 1.37-6.68, and 3.32-8.79, respectively, P<0.01). For 41 burn patients with sepsis, the AUC of ROC of serum IL-6 at 12 h after diagnosis for predicting SAE was 0.92 (95% confidence interval was 0.84-1.00), the best threshold was 157 pg/mL, the sensitivity was 81%, and the specificity was 89%. The AUC of ROC of serum Tau protein at 24 h after diagnosis for predicting SAE was 0.92 (95% confidence interval was 0.82-1.00), the best threshold was 6.4 pg/mL, the sensitivity was 97%, and the specificity was 99%. The AUC of ROC of serum ACTH at 24 h after diagnosis for predicting SAE was 0.96 (95% confidence interval was 0.89-1.00), the best threshold was 14.7 pg/mL, the sensitivity was 90%, and the specificity was 94%. The AUC of ROC of serum cortisol at 24 h after diagnosis for predicting SAE was 0.93 (95% confidence interval was 0.86-1.00), the best threshold was 89 nmol/L, the sensitivity was 94%, and the specificity was 97%. Conclusions: Serum Tau protein, ACTH, and cortisol have high clinical diagnostic value for SAE complicated in burn patients with sepsis.

Abstract
Elemene is a second-line broad-spectrum anti-tumour drug that has been used in China for more than two decades. However, its main anti-tumour ingredient, β-elemene, has disadvantages, including excessive lipophilicity and relatively weak anti-tumour efficacy. To improve the anti-tumour activity of β-elemene, based on its minor molecular weight character, we introduced furoxan nitric oxide (NO) donors into the β-elemene structure and designed six series of new generation β-elemene NO donor hybrids. The synthesised compounds could effectively release NO in vitro, displayed significant anti-proliferative effects on U87MG, NCI-H520, and SW620 cell lines. In the orthotopic glioma model, compound Id significantly and continuously suppressed the growth of gliomas in nude mice, and the brain glioma of the treatment group was markedly inhibited (>90%). In short, the structural fusion design of NO donor and β-elemene is a feasible strategy to improve the in vivo anti-tumour activity of β-elemene.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ataxia telangiectasia and RAD3-related kinase (ATR) is one of the key PIKKs family members important for DNA damage response and repair pathways. Targeting ATR kinase for potential cancer therapy has attracted a great deal of attention to both pharmaceutical industries and academic community. AREA COVERED This article surveys the patents published since 2014 aiming to analyze the structural features of scaffolds and the patent space. It also discusses the recent clinical developments and provides perspectives on the challenges and the future directions. EXPERT OPINION ATR kinase appears to be a viable drug target for anticancer therapy. Similar to DNA-PK inhibitors, the clinical investigation of an ATRi employs both monotherapy and combination strategy. In the combination strategy, an ATRi is typically combined with a radiation or a targeted drug such as chemotherapy agent poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor, etc. Diverse structures comprising different scaffolds from mono-heteroaryl to bicyclic heteroaryl to tricyclic heteroaryl to macrocycle are capable to achieve good ATR inhibitory activity and good ATR selectivity over other closely related enzymes. There are eight ATR inhibitors currently being evaluated in clinics, with the hope to get approval in the near future.

Abstract
Epigentic enzymes histone deacetylases (HDACs) catalyze the removal of acetyl groups from the ε-N-acetylated lysine residues of various protein substrates including both histone and non-histone proteins. Different HDACs have distinct biological functions and are recruited to specific regions of the genome. Due to their important biological functions, HDACs have been validated in clinics for anticancer therapy, and are being explored for potential treatment of several other diseases such as Alzheimer disease (AD), metabolic disease, viral infection, and multiple sclerosis, etc. Besides five approved drugs, there are more than thirty HDACs inhibitors currently being investigated in clinical trials. Centering on the advances of drug discovery programs in this field since 2020, this review discusses HDACs inhibitors from the aspects of the structure-based rational design, isoform selectivity, pharmacology, and toxicology of the compounds of interest. The hope is to provide the medicinal chemistry community with up-to-date information and to accelerate the drug discovery programs in this area.

Abstract
5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) is a common reaction product during heat processing and the preparation of many types of foods and Traditional Chinese Medicine formulations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of 5-HMF on endotoxin-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and the underlying mechanisms. Our findings indicate that 5-HMF attenuated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI in mice by mitigating alveolar destruction, neutrophil infiltration and the release of inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, the activation of macrophages and human monocytes in response to LPS was remarkably suppressed by 5-HMF in vitro through inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway, NLRP3 inflammasome activation and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. The inhibitory effect of 5-HMF on NLRP3 inflammasome was reversed by overexpressing ATF4 or CHOP, indicating the involvement of ER stress in the negative regulation of 5-HMF on NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated inflammation. Consistent with this, the ameliorative effect of 5-HMF on in vivo pulmonary dysfunction were reversed by the ER stress inducer tunicamycin. In conclusion, our findings elucidate the anti-inflammatory and protective efficacy of 5-HMF in LPS-induced acute lung injury, and also demonstrate the key mechanism of its action against NLRP3 inflammasome-related inflammatory disorders via the inhibition of ER stress.

Abstract
A novel copper-catalyzed thioetherification reaction has been developed to afford benzyl thioethers in moderate to excellent yields. Under the mild and easy-to-operate conditions, a variety of thioethers are efficiently prepared from readily available benzyl alcohols (primary, secondary, and tertiary) and thiols in the presence of Cu(OTf)2 as the Lewis acid catalysis. This C-S bond formation protocol furnishes exceptional chemoselectivity, and the preliminary mechanism studies show that the reaction should proceed through a Lewis-acid-mediated SN1-type nucleophilic attack of the carbocations formed in situ.

Abstract
Early antibiotic administration is an important modifiable factor in reducing mortality from late-onset bloodstream infections in preterm infants. In a cohort study including 142 infants with non-coagulase negative staphylococcus bloodstream infection at two tertiary neonatal intensive care units, we identified typical practice-related factors that may be targeted to prevent delays in antibiotic administration. Collection of cerebrospinal fluid or urine sample before administering antibiotics, a longer time taken to site a peripheral intravenous catheter among those without pre-existing access, and a longer time taken to administer fluid boluses were associated with a longer than median time to antibiotic administration.

Abstract
5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) exists in a wide range of sugar-rich foods and traditional Chinese medicines. The role of 5-HMF in antiviral innate immunity and its mechanism have not been reported previously. In this study, we reveal for the first time that 5-HMF upregulates the production of retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-mediated type I interferon (IFN) as a response to viral infection. IFN-β and IFN-stimulated chemokine gene expressions induced by the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) are upregulated in RAW264.7 cells and primary peritoneal macrophages after treatment with 5-HMF, a natural product that appears to inhibit the efficiency of viral replication. Meanwhile, 5-HMF-pretreated mice show enhanced innate antiviral immunity, increased serum levels of IFN-β, and reduced morbidity and viral loads upon infection with VSV. Thus, 5-HMF can be seen to have a positive effect on enhancing type I IFN production. Mechanistically, 5-HMF upregulates the expression of RIG-I in macrophages, resulting in an acceleration of the RIG-I signaling pathway activation. Additionally, STAT1 and STAT2 phosphorylations, along with the expression of IFN-stimulated chemokine genes induced by IFN-α/β, were also enhanced in macrophages cotreated with 5-HMF. In summary, these findings indicate that 5-HMF not only can induce type I IFN production but also can enhance IFN-JAK/STAT signaling, leading to a novel immunomodulatory mechanism against viral infection. In conclusion, our study reveals a previously unrecognized effect of 5-HMF in the antiviral innate immune response and suggests new potential of utilizing 5-HMF for controlling viral infection.
