Article Synopsis
  • A new palladium-catalyzed reaction was developed to efficiently create pyrrolo[1,2-]quinolones from a specific compound involving allenes.
  • The process combines two key steps: cyclization and direct arylation, resulting in the formation of multiple new chemical bonds and rings.
  • This method is versatile and can work with various substrates and functional groups effectively.

Polysaccharides are a major class of biomacromolecules. Their bioactivities depend on chemical structure, which includes monosaccharide composition, linkages below sugar residues, and solution conformation. Many researchers report that chemical modifications of polysaccharides lead to a significantly increase in the structural diversity, promoting bioactivity and even add new bioactivities, including antioxidant and anti-tumor properties as well as anticoagulant and immunoregulatory activities.

Tremella fuciformis is an important edible mushroom that has been widely cultivated and used as food and medicinal ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine. In the past decades, many researchers have reported that T. fuciformis polysaccharides (TPS) possess various bioactivities, including anti-tumor, immunomodulatory, anti-oxidation, anti-aging, repairing brain memory impairment, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic and hypocholesterolemic.
