Article Synopsis
  • - Rho-associated coiled-coil kinase (ROCK) plays a key role in controlling cell activities like shape, adhesion, and movement, making it a target for inhibiting breast cancer spread.
  • - A new series of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives, including the effective ROCK2 inhibitor piperazine analog 7u, was developed, showing strong inhibitory activity and over 250-fold selectivity for ROCK2 compared to ROCK1.
  • - Treatment with 7u altered the cytoskeleton of breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) and significantly decreased their migration and invasion, suggesting potential for this compound in breast cancer therapy.

In a continuous effort to develop Janus kinase 1 (JAK1)-selective inhibitors, a novel series of 4-amino-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives bearing the piperidinyl fragment were designed and synthesized according to a combination strategy. Through enzymatic assessments, the superior compound 12a with an IC value of 12.6 nM against JAK1 was identified and a 10.

An insightful understanding of the interaction between the electrolyte and reaction intermediate and how promotion reaction occurs of electrolyte is challenging in the electrocatalysis reaction. Herein, theoretical calculations are used to investigate the reaction mechanism of CO reduction reaction to CO with different electrolytes at the Cu(111) surface. By analyzing the charge distribution of the chemisorbed CO (CO ) formation process, we find that the charge transfer is from metal electrode transfer to CO and the hydrogen bond interaction between electrolytes and CO not only plays a key role in the stabilization of CO structure but also reduces the formation energy of *COOH.

It is still highly desired to develop efficient, resource-abundant and inexpensive electrocatalysts to improve the sluggish kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in electrochemical water splitting systems. In this work, the large-area ultrathin (2.52 nm thick) Ce-doped LaOnanofilms were developed via a facile and reliable ionic layer epitaxy method with different Ce content.

The edge sites of MoS are catalytically active for hydrogen evolution reactions (HER). However, pristine edge sites usually contain only intrinsic atoms or defects, limiting the tuning of on-site hydrogen species adsorption and desorption, the critical steps for HER. In addition, the number of atoms on pristine edges is small compared to that of electrochemically inert atoms in bulk.

Vertical Si nanowire (NW) arrays are a promising photoanode material in the photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting field because of their highly efficient light absorption capability and large surface areas for PEC reactions. However, Si NW arrays always suffer from high overpotential, low photocurrent density, and low applied bias photon-to-current efficiency (ABPE) due to their low surface catalytic activity and intense charge recombination. Here, we report an efficient oxygen evolution cocatalyst of optically transparent, mesoporous ultrathin (2.
