Solution of differential equations with infinite delay via coupled fixed point.

This manuscript aims to prove exciting results that unify and generalize several fixed point results for metric spaces endowed with graphs. As an application, we apply our own results to give and introduce sufficient conditions to guarantee existence solutions of such differential equations with infinite delay.

Hydrozirconation/bromination, followed by a Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction, as a convenient approach towards polyfunctional glycosylphosphonates.

In this note, an hydrozirconation/bromination/Michaelis-Arbuzov sequence was developped to introduce a trimethylene phosphonate unit on ketopyranosides. Performed on polyfunctional substrates bearing orthogonal protecting groups, this new approach provided a straightforward entry towards a large diversity of glycophosphomimetics having a quaternary anomeric position.

Carbene-Mediated Quaternarization of the Anomeric Position of Carbohydrates: Synthesis of Allylic Ketopyranosides, Access to the Missing α-Gluco and β-Manno Stereoisomers, and Preparation of Quaternary 2-Deoxy 2-Acetamido Sugars.

Following our work on the C-H functionalization of carbohydrates by the 1,5 insertion of metal-carbenes, we report herein the robust and scalable conversion of sugar γ-lactones into highly valuable glycosides having a quaternary anomeric position substituted by an allyl chain ready for further functionalization. A divergent synthetic approach furthermore provided a straightforward access to ketopyranosides with a large chemo- and stereodiversity at position 2.

Diverse Nrf2 Activators Coordinated to Cobalt Carbonyls Induce Heme Oxygenase-1 and Release Carbon Monoxide in Vitro and in Vivo.

The Nrf2/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) axis affords significant protection against oxidative stress and cellular damage. We synthesized a series of cobalt-based hybrid molecules (HYCOs) that combine an Nrf2 inducer with a releaser of carbon monoxide (CO), an anti-inflammatory product of HO-1. Two HYCOs markedly increased Nrf2/HO-1 expression, liberated CO and exerted anti-inflammatory activity in vitro.
