The past century has witnessed a large number of reports on the Z/E isomerization of alkenes. However, the vast majority of them are still limited to the isomerization of di- and tri-substituted alkenes. The stereospecific Z/E isomerization of tetrasubstituted alkenes remains to be an underdeveloped area, thus lacking in a stereodivergent synthesis of axially chiral alkenes.

Article Synopsis
  • Cancer is a leading global cause of death, and a major obstacle in treatment is multidrug resistance (MDR) in tumors.
  • Recent research has shown that compounds derived from natural products, like flavonoids and alkaloids, can potentially reverse MDR.
  • This review discusses past successes and current advancements in using natural products as treatments, aiming to contribute insights into combating MDR in cancer therapy.

Axially chiral N-substituted quinazolinones are important bioactive molecules, which are presented in many synthetic drugs. However, most strategies toward their atroposelective synthesis are mainly limited to the axially chiral arylquinazolinone frameworks. The development of modular synthetic methods to access diverse quinazolinone-based atropisomers remains scarce and challenging.

An ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(UHPLC-MS/MS) method was established for the determination of active components of Sarcandrae Herba, and applied to the pharmacokinetics study of multiple dosage forms. After SD rats were administered by gavage with three dosage forms [Sarcandrae Herba extract, commercial Sarcandrae Herba Guttate Pills, and polydopamine guttate pills loaded with active components of Sarcandrae Herba(PDA-Sg Guttate Pills)], blood samples were collected from the inner canthus at different time points. After protein precipitation, plasma samples were separated on ACQUITY UPLC C_(18) column(2.

A simple Pd/Cu-catalyzed borylation of allenylic carbonates with BPin was developed using a cheap P(OEt) ligand. Under mild neutral conditions, 2-boryl 1,3-butadienes were obtained selectively in moderate to high yields. Furthermore, the use of different diboron reagents was also feasible in the reaction.
