Abstract
This study describes a catalyst-free α-acyloxylation of ketones and a KBr-mediated α-acyloxylation of cyclic ethers. These conversions are effectively mediated by hypervalent iodine(III) reagents serving dual roles as the oxidant and nucleophilic source. Consequently, esters are produced directly in moderate to excellent yields. The proposed method features good functional group compatibility, a broad substrate scope, and high synthetic efficiency and is remarkably environmentally friendly.

Abstract
A facile approach toward chromenopyrrolidines was achieved under mild conditions via organophotocatalyzed aerobic decarboxylative [2 + 2 + 1] annulation of chromones with N-arylglycines, in which N-arylglycines perform dual roles (i.e., radical precursor and methylene provider). Mechanistic studies suggested that a Giese-type radical addition and consequent Mannich pathway were likely responsible for the annulation reaction.

The S1'-S3' Pocket of the SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease Is Critical for Substrate Selectivity and Can Be Targeted with Covalent Inhibitors. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202309657.

Abstract
The main protease (Mpro ) of SARS-CoV-2 is a well-characterized target for antiviral drug discovery. To date, most antiviral drug discovery efforts have focused on the S4-S1' pocket of Mpro ; however, it is still unclear whether the S1'-S3' pocket per se can serve as a new site for drug discovery. In this study, the S1'-S3' pocket of Mpro was found to differentially recognize viral peptidyl substrates. For instance, S3' in Mpro strongly favors Phe or Trp, and S1' favors Ala. The peptidyl inhibitor D-4-77, which possesses an α-bromoacetamide warhead, was discovered to be a promising inhibitor of Mpro , with an IC50 of 0.95 μM and an antiviral EC50 of 0.49 μM. The Mpro /inhibitor co-crystal structure confirmed the binding mode of the inhibitor to the S1'-S3' pocket and revealed a covalent mechanism. In addition, D-4-77 functions as an immune protectant and suppresses SARS-CoV-2 Mpro -induced antagonism of the host NF-κB innate immune response. These findings indicate that the S1'-S3' pocket of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro is druggable, and that inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 Mpro can simultaneously protect human innate immunity and inhibit virion assembly.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the relationship between amino acid variations of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) nonstructural protein (NS) 1 and the clinical characteristics. Method: A retrospective case review was conducted. From December 2018 to January 2020, a total of 81 cases of hospitalized children who were tested only positive for RSV by RT-PCR or PCR at the Department of Respiratory Medicine, Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University were included in the study. The NS1 genes of RSV subtype A and subtype B were amplified by PCR and sequenced. The amino acid sequences were analyzed. The Chi-square test and Mann-Whitney rank sum test were used to compare the clinical characteristics and type Ⅰ interferon levels of children with or without NS1 variation in the variation and non-variation groups. Results: Among 81 cases, there were 58 males and 23 females. There were 11 cases in the variation group, the age of onset was 2.0 (1.0, 11.0) months, included 4 cases of subtype A (variant sites were: 2 cases for Lys33Gln, one case for Gly2Asp, Pro67Ser, Leu137Phe, respectively) and 7 cases of subtype B (variant sites were: two cases for Val121Ile, one case for Tyr30Cys, Val65Met, Asn85Ser, Ser118Asn, Asp124Asn, respectively). These variant sites all appeared at a very low frequency 0.08 (0.04, 0.29) % in the NCBI PROTEIN database. There were 70 cases in non-variation group, the onset age was 3.5 (1.0, 7.0) months. The proportion of dyspnea in the variation group was higher than that in the non-variation group (10/11 vs. 47% (33/70), χ2=7.31, P<0.01). Conclusions: There are some variant sites in nonstructural protein NS1 of RSV. Children may be prone to have dyspnea with NS1 variations.

Abstract
The daphnezomine A-type subfamily of Daphniphyllum alkaloids structurally features a unique aza-adamantane core skeleton and anticipates efficient strategies for completing their syntheses to thoroughly investigate their biological activities. Herein, divergent total syntheses of (-)-daphnezomines A and B and (+)-dapholdhamine B have been accomplished in 16~20 steps from a known epoxide via rapid construction of a common core intermediate. The present work features a Ti-mediated radical cyclization to establish the azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane ring system, an intramolecular Heck reaction to install the bridgehead all-carbon quaternary stereocenter, a tandem deprotection/reduction/keto amine-carbinolamine tautomerization to furnish the aza-adamantane backbone, and an NIS-promoted 6-endo-trig aminocyclization to assemble the (+)-dapholdhamine B backbone.

Abstract
During the past decades, rheumatoid arthritis had become a serious problem, torturing millions of patients because of unclear pathogenesis and no ideal therapies. Natural products remain an important source of medicines to treat various major diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) given their excellent biocompatibility and structural diversity. Herein, we have developed a versatile synthetic method for constructing various skeletons of akuammiline alkaloid analogs based on our previous research on the total synthesis of the related indole alkaloids. We have also evaluated the effect of these analogs on the proliferation of RA fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) in vitro and analyzed the corresponding structure-activity relationship (SAR). Among these analogs, compounds 9 and 17c have demonstrated a promising inhibitory effect on the proliferation of RA-FLSs, with IC50 values of 3.22 ± 0.29 μM and 3.21 ± 0.31 μM, respectively. Our findings provide a solid foundation for future pharmacological studies on akuammiline alkaloid derivatives and inspiration for the development of anti-RA small molecule drugs derived from natural products.

Abstract
An array of spiro[benzofuran-2,3'-pyrazol]-3-imines with diverse functional groups were readily assembled from aurone-derived azadienes and in-situ generated nitrilimines under mild conditions. The transformation performed in a regio- and diastereoselective fashion, in which a synergetic [2 + 3] cycloaddition pathway was likely involved. This novel methodology has extended the synthetic application of aurone-derived azadienes as a kind of two-atom synthon.

Abstract
Phospholipids (PLs) are important components of physiological metabolism in animals and plants, and they have been widely used in clinical treatment, cosmetics, and industry. With the development of marine resources, marine PLs rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids have attracted increasing attention. As important marine resources, shrimp heads (SH), codfish roe (CR), and squid gonads (SG) contain a high PL content. The antithrombotic, antistroke, anti-inflammatory, pro-angiogenic, and cardioprotective activities of PLs from SH, CR, and SG were evaluated and compared using the in vivo zebrafish model. The results showed that the PL extracts of SH, CR, and SG had significant biological activities, which lays a theoretical foundation for the development and utilization of PLs in marine byproducts in the future, providing a new choice for the prevention of inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: In this experiment, phospholipids in seafood from different sources were extracted, and their biological activities were comprehensively evaluated and compared using the zebrafish model to lay a foundation for the development of cardiovascular drugs, health food, special medicinal food, and other effective components. The utilization of marine byproducts not only makes full use of resources, but it also protects the environment.

Abstract
There is an incontestable need for improved treatment modality for glioblastoma due to its extraordinary resistance to traditional chemoradiation therapy. Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) may play a role in the future. We designed and synthesized a 10B-boronated derivative of temozolomide, TMZB. BNCT was carried out with a total neutron radiation fluence of 2.4 ± 0.3 × 1011 n/cm2. The effects of TMZB in BNCT were measured with a clonogenic cell survival assay in vitro and PET/CT imaging in vivo. Then, 10B-boronated phenylalanine (BPA) was tested in parallel with TMZB for comparison. The IC50 of TMZB for the cytotoxicity of clonogenic cells in HS683 was 0.208 mM, which is comparable to the IC50 of temozolomide at 0.213 mM. In BNCT treatment, 0.243 mM TMZB caused 91.2% ± 6.4% of clonogenic cell death, while 0.239 mM BPA eliminated 63.7% ± 6.3% of clonogenic cells. TMZB had a tumor-to-normal brain ratio of 2.9 ± 1.1 and a tumor-to-blood ratio of 3.8 ± 0.2 in a mouse glioblastoma model. BNCT with TMZB in this model caused 58.2% tumor shrinkage at 31 days after neutron irradiation, while the number for BPA was 35.2%. Therefore, by combining the effects of chemotherapy from temozolomide and radiotherapy with heavy charged particles from BNCT, TMZB-based BNCT exhibited promising potential for therapeutic applications in glioblastoma treatment.

Abstract
Lipids are key factors in nutrition, structural function, metabolic features, and other biological functions. In this study, the lipids from the heads of four species of shrimp (Fenneropenaeus chinensis (FC), Penaeus japonicus (PJ), Penaeus vannamei (PV), and Procambarus clarkia (PCC)) were compared and characterized based on UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap/MS. We compared the differences in lipid composition of four kinds of shrimp head using multivariate analysis. In addition, a zebrafish model was used to evaluate pro-angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, anti-thrombotic, and cardioprotective activities of the shrimp head lipids. The lipids from the four kinds of shrimp head had different degrees of pro-angiogenic activities, and the activities of PCC and PJ shrimp lipids were more significant than those of the other two species. Four lipid groups displayed strong anti-inflammatory activities. For antithrombotic activity, only PCC (25 μg/mL) and PV (100 μg/mL) groups showed obvious activity. In terms of cardioprotective activity, the four kinds of lipid groups significantly increased the zebrafish heart rhythms. The heart distances were shortened, except for those of the FC (100 μg/mL) and PJ (25 μg/mL) groups. Our comprehensive lipidomics analysis and bioactivity study of lipids from different sources could provide a basis for the better utilization of shrimp.

We have developed cobalt-catalyzed, bidentate 2-(1-methylhydrazinyl)pyridine (MHP)-directed C(sp2)-H alkylation/annulation of benzoic hydrazides with various alkenes. Notably, diverse cyclopenta[c]isoquinolinones and dihydroisoquinolinones were obtained via this functional group-tolerant protocol. The reaction can be performed on a gram scale while maintaining an excellent yield, and the directing group can be removed efficiently under mild conditions. Furthermore, density-functional theory (DFT) calculations provide an incisive understanding of the observed regioselectivities for different olefins.

Abstract
An efficient annulation reaction of aurone-derived α,β-unsaturated imines and activated terminal alkynes mediated by triethylamine is described, which enables the facile synthesis of 1,4-dihydrobenzofuro[3,2-b]pyridines in high yields. When the nucleophile of triethylamine was replaced with triphenylphosphine, another class of 1,4-dihydrobenzofuro[3,2-b]pyridines tethered with an additional acrylate motif were obtained instead. These two types of 1,4-dihydrobenzofuro[3,2-b]pyridines could be aromatized in the presence of DBU to afford benzofuro[3,2-b]pyridines, which could also be accessed via a one-pot procedure.

Abstract
The regioselective functionalization reaction of unprotected carbazoles with donor-acceptor (D-A) cyclopropanes has been demonstrated for the first time. With Sc(OTf)3 as Lewis acid catalyst, the N-H functionalization of carbazoles takes place through a highly selective nitrogen-initiated nucleophilic ring opening reaction. Significantly, by engaging TfOH as Brønsted acid catalyst, a straightforward C-H functionalization at the 3-position of the unprotected carbazole proceeds via Friedel-Crafts-type addition. This strategy facilitates the diversity-oriented synthesis of carbazole-containing heterocycles and expands the novel application of D-A cyclopropanes.

AbstractAn efficient, one-pot, three-component [3+2] cycloaddition reaction of azomethine ylide obtained from α-dicarbonyl compounds (cyclic and acyclic diketone or keto ester) and amino acids with maleimides under catalyst-free conditions has been developed. This cascade protocol shows high efficiency and remarkable functional group tolerance, and the ubiquitous succinimide-fused pyrrolizidines with a highly compact and strained scaffold were obtained with high yield and excellent diastereoselectivity. Furthermore, this novel and atom-economical strategy could be performed on a gram scale with comparable reaction efficiency.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recently, the vital role of circular RNAs is discovered in many diseases including tumor progression and metastasis. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most ordinary malignant tumors. The purpose of our study is to detect the potential function of hsa_circ_0011946 in HCC to offer new biomarkers and targets. PATIENTS AND METHODS The level of hsa_circ_0011946 in HCC tissues and cell lines was monitored by Real Time Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR). Pearson's Chi-square test was used to determine the association between hsa_circ_0011946 expression and several clinicopathological factors. Then, hsa_circ_0011946 was knocked down in HCC cells to uncover its function in metastasis of HCC. Cell migrated and invaded ability was measured through transwell assay, Matrigel assay and wound healing assay. Western blot assay was performed to analyze the effect of hsa_circ_0011946 on the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process. RESULTS In this research, the expression level of hsa_circ_0011946 was significantly increased in HCC tissues compared to that in adjacent samples. The expression of hsa_circ_0011946 was also increased in HCC cell lines. The hsa_circ_0011946 expression was associated with lymphatic metastasis in HCC patients. Knockdown of hsa_circ_0011946 led to the inhibition of cell migration and invasion in HCC. In addition, results of further experiments revealed that the EMT-related proteins were regulated via the knockdown of hsa_circ_0011946 in HCC. CONCLUSIONS The hsa_circ_0011946 could enhance cell migration and invasion of HCC by inducing the EMT process.

Abstract
Cyclopianes are novel diterpenes featuring a highly strained 6/5/5/5 tetracyclic core embedded with 6-8 consecutive stereocenters. The concise total syntheses of (-)-conidiogenone B, (-)-conidiogenone, and (-)-conidiogenol have been accomplished in 14-17 steps. The present work features a HAT-mediated alkene-nitrile cyclization to access the cis-biquinane, a Nicholas/Pauson-Khand reaction to construct the linear triquinane, and a Danheiser annulation to afford the congested angular triquinane skeleton.
