The advent of ultra-large libraries of drug-like compounds has significantly broadened the possibilities in structure-based virtual screening, accelerating the discovery and optimization of high-quality lead chemotypes for diverse clinical targets. Compared to traditional high-throughput screening, which is constrained to libraries of approximately one million compounds, the ultra-large virtual screening approach offers substantial advantages in both cost and time efficiency. By expanding the chemical space with compounds synthesized from easily accessible and reproducible reactions and utilizing a large, diverse set of building blocks, we can enhance both the diversity and quality of the discovered lead chemotypes.

We describe a cascade reaction that selectively incorporates oxygen into the carbon-carbon backbone of alkynes using air as the source. The process starts by lithiating readily available, electron-deficient 1,2,3-triazoles, resulting in an amphoteric lithium ketenimine intermediate. This intermediate can react with both electrophiles and nucleophiles.

The venerable 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition has been widely used in organic synthesis for the construction of various heterocycles. However, in its century-long history, the simple and omnipresent aromatic phenyl ring has remained a stubbornly unreactive dipolarophile. Here we report 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between aromatic groups and diazoalkenes, generated in situ from lithium acetylides and N-sulfonyl azides.

The first total convergent synthesis of 4(),5()-oxido-17()-hydroxy-6(),8(),10(),13(),15(),19()-docosahexaenoic acid (1) is described. The reported synthesis led to confirmation of the native epoxydocosahexaenoic acid as the biosynthetic precursor of lipid mediators resolvin D3 and resolvin D4. These potent enzymatic products of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are important signaling molecules in the resolution of inflammation.

causes the most common, nonviral sexually transmitted infection. Only metronidazole (Mz) and tinidazole are approved for treating trichomoniasis, yet resistance is a clinical problem. The gold(I) complex, auranofin, is active against and other protozoa but has significant human toxicity.
