TRPML1 triggers ferroptosis defense and is a potential therapeutic target in AKT-hyperactivated cancer.

Targeting ferroptosis for cancer therapy has slowed because of an incomplete understanding of ferroptosis mechanisms under specific pathological contexts such as tumorigenesis and cancer treatment. Here, we identify TRPML1-mediated lysosomal exocytosis as a potential anti-ferroptotic process through genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 activation and kinase inhibitor library screening. AKT directly phosphorylated TRPML1 at Ser and inhibited K552 ubiquitination and proteasome degradation of TRPML1, thereby promoting TRPML1 binding to ARL8B to trigger lysosomal exocytosis.

Iodine(III)-Mediated Trifluoroacetylation of a C(sp)-H or C(sp)-H Bond with Masked Trifluoroacyl Reagents.

A novel strategy for incorporating a trifluoroacetyl functionality into a range of structurally varied unsaturated bonds was developed by using PhI(OCOMe) as an oxidant with a masked trifluoroacyl reagent as a trifluoroacetyl radical precursor. The oxidative decarboxylation of the masked trifluoroacyl precursor followed by a tandem radical process provides versatile access to 5-- cyclization of -arylacrylamides, direct C(sp)-H trifluoroacetylation of quinolines, isoquinoline, 2-indazole, and quinoxalin-2(1)-ones, and C(sp)-H trifluoroacetylation of alkynes. This protocol is characterized by mild reaction conditions, operational simplicity, and broad functional group compatibility.

Herein, a direct cross-dehydrogenative C-H amination of indoles has been successfully achieved, enabled by the merger of photocatalysis with nickel catalysis. This developed process does not require stoichiometric oxidants and prefunctionalization of amine partners, providing a concise platform for C-N bond formation. Moreover, the synthetic practicality of this transformation was well revealed by its high step- and atom-economy, high reaction efficiency, and broad functional group tolerance.

Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent lipid peroxidation-driven programmed cell death, is closely related to cancer therapy. The development of druggable ferroptosis inducers and their rational application in cancer therapy are critical. Here, we identified Tubastatin A, an HDAC6 inhibitor as a novel druggable ferroptosis inducer through large-scale drug screening.

Evidence for Topological Magnon-Phonon Hybridization in a 2D Antiferromagnet down to the Monolayer Limit.

Topological phonons and magnons potentially enable low-loss, quantum coherent, and chiral transport of information and energy at the atomic scale. Van der Waals magnetic materials are promising to realize such states due to their recently discovered strong interactions among the electronic, spin, and lattice degrees of freedom. Here, we report the first observation of coherent hybridization of magnons and phonons in monolayer antiferromagnet FePSe by cavity-enhanced magneto-Raman spectroscopy.

Photoredox-Catalyzed Deoxygenation of Hexafluoroacetone Hydrate Enables Hydroxypolyfluoroalkylation of Alkenes.

An unprecedented photoredox-catalyzed phosphine-mediated deoxygenation of hexafluoroacetone hydrate was established to accomplish the hydroxylpolyfluoroalkylation of electron-deficient alkenes. A range of bis(trifluoromethyl)carbinols were facilely accessed by using readily available hexafluoroacetone hydrate, instead of toxic gaseous hexafluoroacetone. A range of electron-deficient alkenes are tolerated, giving the corresponding hydro-hydroxylpolyfluoroalkylated products in moderate to high yields.

Regioselective Access to Vicinal Diamines by Metal-Free Photosensitized Amidylimination of Alkenes with Oxime Esters.

A metal-free photosensitized protocol for regioselective diamination of alkene feedstocks over a single step was developed based on the rationally designed bifunctional diamination reagent, thus affording a range of differentially protected 1,2-diamines in moderate to high yields. Mechanistic studies reveal that the reaction is initiated with a triplet-triplet energy transfer between thioxanthone catalyst and diamination reagent, followed by fragmentation to simultaneously generate long-lived iminyl radical and transient amidyl radical. The excellent regioselectivity presumably stems from the large reactivity difference between two different N-centered radical species.

Visible-Light-Promoted Cross-Coupling of -Aryl Oximes and Nitrostyrenes to Access Cyanoalkylated Alkenes.

A photoinduced, photocatalyst-free cyanoalkylation of nitrostyenes was explored, affording a series of cyanoalkylated alkenes in moderate to good yields. Mechanistic studies reveal that an electron donor-acceptor complex formed between -aryl oximes and DIPEA is presumably involved in this process. The excellent functional group compatibility of this newly designed synthetic protocol allows for cyanoalkylation of structurally varied substrates, which offers an eco-friendly pathway for the assembly of cyanoalkylated alkenes.

Photocatalyzed Defluorinative Dichloromethylation of α-CF Alkenes Using CHCl as the Radical Source.

A visible-light-induced defluorinative dichloromethylation of α-CF alkenes was developed with cheap and readily accessible chloroform simultaneously as a dichloromethylation reagent and reaction medium, leading to the facile preparation of new polyhalogenated scaffolds. Notably, the change from CHCl to CDCl offers a straightforward pathway for accessing the deuterated analogues with excellent degrees of D incorporation. Mechanistic studies suggested the reaction underwent a radical addition of the dichloromethyl radical with alkenes, followed by sequential single-electron transfer and defluorination.

[3 + 2] . [4 + 1] Annulation: revisiting mechanism studies on the phosphine-catalysed domino sequence of alkynoates and activated methylenes.

The mechanism of the phosphine-catalysed domino sequence of alkynoates and activated methylenes has been computationally studied. The computational results revealed that the [3 + 2] annulation sequence could be ruled out, due to a difficult Knoevenagel condensation of aromatic aldehydes and active methylenes. The reaction proceeds through a [4 + 1] annulation pathway, which involves a phosphine-catalysed MBH-type reaction followed by a [1,5]-proton shift and dehydration to afford vinyl phosphonium intermediates as four-carbon synthons in the annulation reaction.
