School of Chemistry, University of Bristol, Bristol, UKBS8 1TS.

Published: July 2004

The synthesis of racemic cytisine has been completed using (i)N-selective alkylation of 6-bromopyridone with bromide and (ii) Pd(0) mediated intramolecular alpha-arylation of lactam as key steps to achieve rapid assembly of the tricyclic core skeleton of the lupin alkaloids.

Synergistic effect of canine FGF-21 combined with insulin in the treatment of canine diabetes.

Previous studies have shown that FGF-21 can ameliorate hyperglycemia and improve the level of oxidative stress in vivo in diabetic mice. The hypoglycemic effect is safe and lasting, but it takes a longer time to exert its effect. Insulin treatment of canine diabetes takes effect quickly; however, its action time is short, and it is prone to cause hypoglycemia.

encodes three regulatory subunits of class IA phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), each associating with any of three catalytic subunits, namely p110α, p110β, or p110δ. Constitutional mutations cause diseases with a genotype-phenotype relationship not yet fully explained: heterozygous loss-of-function mutations cause SHORT syndrome, featuring insulin resistance and short stature attributed to reduced p110α function, while heterozygous activating mutations cause immunodeficiency, attributed to p110δ activation and known as APDS2. Surprisingly, APDS2 patients do not show features of p110α hyperactivation, but do commonly have SHORT syndrome-like features, suggesting p110α hypofunction.

Reprogramming of Fatty Acid Metabolism in Acute Leukemia.

J Cell Physiol

January 2025

Division of Hematology & Oncology, Department of Pediatrics, School of Medicine, Washington University in Saint Louis, St. Louis, Missouri, USA.

Fatty acids are essential biomolecules that support several cellular processes, such as membrane structures, energy storage and production, as well as signal transduction. Accordingly, changes in fatty acid metabolism can have a significant impact on cell behavior, such as growth, survival, proliferation, differentiation, and motility. Therefore, it is not surprising that many aspects of fatty acid metabolism are frequently dysregulated in human cancer, including in highly aggressive blood cancers such as acute leukemia.
