A cascade cyclization reaction comprising two halogenation reactions and a Michael addition was developed for the synthesis of chromeno[2,3-]pyrrole-3-ones . Additionally, another cascade cyclization reaction, which involves a halogenation reaction followed by two intramolecular Michael additions, was established for the synthesis of chromeno[2,3-]pyrrole-2-ones . Both types of compounds were synthesized from -hydroxyphenyl enaminones and 2-halo--alkyloxyacetamides through a process that facilitated the intramolecular formation of C-C, C-O, and C-N bonds to effectively establish two fused rings in a single operation.

Article Synopsis
  • Crohn's disease (CD) and intestinal tuberculosis (ITB) are often confused for each other, but they require different treatments and prognoses, highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis.
  • A study involving 72 tissue samples used advanced techniques like infrared spectroscopy and machine learning to differentiate between CD and ITB.
  • The developed diagnostic model achieved high accuracy (91.84%), specificity (92.59%), and sensitivity (90.90%), suggesting that this method could effectively distinguish between the two diseases at a molecular level.

In order to provide a reference for improving the physicochemical properties of starch, the study of starch polyphenol complex interaction has aroused considerable interest. As a common method of starch modification, ultrasound can make starch granules have voids and cracks, and make starch and polyphenols combine more closely. In this research, canistel seed starch was modified by ultrasonic treatment alone or combined with quercetin.

Epothilones are a kind of 16-member macrolides with strong anticancer activity, which was produced by Sorangium cellulosum. Epothlione D shows better drug resistance and safety than taxol in clinical trials. However, the low yield of epothilone D in Sorangium cellulosum and thereof toxicity limited the application of epothilone D.

Background: The role and expression level change in circ_TNPO1 (hsa_circ_0072951) in atherosclerosis (AS) and VSMC dysfunction remain unknown. In this study, we try to explore the effects of circ_TNPO1 on oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced human vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) excessive proliferation and migration, and the potential molecular mechanism.

Methods: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot experiment were used to detect the serum samples from AS patients and healthy controls.

Background: Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a multisystem disease characterized by allergic rhinitis, asthma, and a significantly high eosinophil count in the peripheral blood. It mainly involves the arterioles and venules. When the coronary arteries are invaded, it can lead to acute myocardial infarction (AMI), acute heart failure, and other manifestations that often lead to death in the absence of timely treatment.
