Fibrinogen-like (Fgl2) protein belongs to fibrinogen super family, which catalyzes the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin and is involved in the coagulation process. There are two different forms of functional Fgl2 protein: membrane associated Fgl2 (mFgl2) and soluble Fgl2 (sFgl2). mFgl2, as a type II transmembrane protein with property with prothrombinase activity from its N-terminal fragment, was extensively secreted or expressed by inflammatory macrophages, dendritic cells, Th1 cells and endothelial cells.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors has opened up new avenues for cancer treatment, but serious cardiac injury has emerged in their use. A large number of data have shown that abnormal activation of cytosolic DNA-sensing cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-interferon gene activator pathway is closely related to cardiovascular inflammation and autoimmune diseases. However, the pathophysiological function of the cGAS-STING cascade in myocarditis induced by Immune checkpoint inhibitors is unclear.

Background: The Bushen Jiedu Formula (BSJDF) is a traditional and effective chemical prescription of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) administered due to its anti-cancer properties, particularly in colorectal cancer (CRC).
Purpose: This study proposes to explore the therapeutic benefits of BSJDF against metastasis in CRC and unravel its regulatory mechanisms related to the tumor microenvironment.
Study Design/methods: The combination of mass spectrometry and network pharmacology was used to analyze the involvement of BSJDF in anti-tumor progression.

A post-transition state surface intersection (PTSSI) between radical and zwitterionic states that causes a bifurcation in the reaction pathway was discovered through density functional theory calculations on potential energy surfaces and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of cycloadditions between a bicyclobutane and a triazolinedione (BCB-TAD). It was predicted that changes to the solvent polarity would enable control over the dynamic selectivity in this system; indeed, experimental evidence supported this prediction. This work not only provides new insights into an unusual type of post-transition state bifurcation, but also demonstrates how the nonstatistical dynamic effects that control selectivity for such reactions can be manipulated rationally to increase the yields of synthetically useful reactions.

In this work, we present a photoredox three-component reaction that enables the synthesis of medicinally relevant β-trifluoromethyl β-amino ketones from a -trifluoroethylhydroxylamine derivative, styrenes and DMSO. Remarkably, fluoromethyl, difluoromethyl and pentafluoroethyl analogues are also accessed using the same reaction conditions. The mechanistic investigations, including radical trapping experiments, cyclic voltammetry, Stern-Volmer quenching studies and isotope labelling experiments support the photoinduced radical/polar crossover and Kornblum-type oxidation mechanisms.
