Convenient synthesis and chemical modification of the potent alpha-L-fucosidase inhibitor, 5a-carba-alpha-DL-fucopyranosylamine (1), are described. Among seven N-substituted and three cyclic isourea derivatives newly prepared, the N-octyl derivative was found to be the strongest inhibitor of alpha-L-fucosidase (bovine kidney) more potent (K(i)=0.016 microM) than deoxyfuconojirimycin (K(i)=0.031 microM) with p-nitrophenyl-alpha-L-fucopyranoside as the substrate.

The Ph3P-I2-mediated reactions between isatins and amines were extensively investigated leading to the discovery of highly selective and divergent routes toward the synthesis of two distinct classes of indole-based frameworks. Through a strategic design of the reaction paths, we overcome potential side reactions to achieve convenient and straightforward one-pot methods to access either indoloquinazolines with C-12 carboxamide or 2-aminosubstituted indol-3-ones using the same reagent system. Mechanistic studies reveal the role of Ph3P-I2 in governing product selectivity, providing an efficient route to novel fused-indolone derivatives with promising applications in drug discovery and medicinal chemistry.

Efficient room-temperature sensors for toxic gases are essential to ensure a safe and healthy life. Conducting frameworks have shown great promise in advancing gas sensing technologies. In this study, two new organic-inorganic frameworks [CuX(PPh)(L)], CP1 (X = I) and CP2 (X = Br) have been synthesized using (pyridin-4-yl)-N-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)methanimine (L) and triphenylphosphine.

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a heterogeneous group of immature myeloid cells playing a critical role in immune suppression. In vitro-generated MDSCs are a convenient tool to study the properties of tumour-associated MDSCs. Here, we compared six protocols for in vitro generation of functional mouse MDSCs from bone marrow progenitors.

A photoinduced copper-mediated acyloxylation of arylthianthrenium or arylphenoxathiinium salts with either aliphatic or aromatic carboxylic acids is described for the convenient synthesis of -aryl esters. The reaction has shown obvious advantages, such as high efficiency, good functional group tolerance, excellent chemoselectivity, and capacity for esterification of complex drug molecules, offering a practical synthetic route to multifunctionalized and sterically congested -aryl esters, which are potentially useful in the development of new prodrugs or twin drugs.

Skeletal muscles account for ~30-40% of the total weight of human body and are responsible for its most important functions, including movement, respiration, thermogenesis, and glucose and protein metabolism. Skeletal muscle damage negatively impacts the whole-body functioning, leading to deterioration of the quality of life and, in severe cases, death. Therefore, timely diagnosis and therapy for skeletal muscle dysfunction are important goals of modern medicine.
