The related marine natural products halichlorine, pinnaic acid, and tauropinnaic acid have been synthesized. The described route provided access to all three compounds from a common, late-stage intermediate. The synthesis began with 1-pyrrolidino-1-cyclopentene from which an intermediate possessing the three contiguous stereocenters of the natural products was synthesized in just four steps. Olefin cross metathesis followed by a hydrogenation/hydrogenolysis reaction stereoselectively formed the piperidine ring. Use of a beta-lactam group provided internal protection for the highly congested nitrogen atom during side-chain elaboration. The beta-lactam was subsequently reduced directly to an amino aldehyde, which after the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction was elaborated to pinnaic acid. The same amino aldehyde was also transformed into halichlorine after a thiol-mediated cyclization sequence to form the dehydroquinolizidine ring system.

Multiple porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) subtypes coinfect numerous pig farms in China, and commercial PRRSV vaccines offer limited cross-protection against heterologous strains. Our previous research confirmed that a PRRSV lineage 1 branch attenuated live vaccine (SD-R) provides cross-protection against HP-PRRSV, NADC30-like PRRSV and NADC34-like PRRSV. HP-PRRSV has undergone significant genetic variation following nearly two decades of evolution and has transformed into a subtype referred to as HP-like PRRSV, which also exhibits high pathogenicity.

In-stent restenosis (ISR) following interventional therapy is a fatal clinical complication. Current evidence indicates that neointimal hyperplasia driven by uncontrolled proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) is a major cause of restenosis. This implies that inhibiting VSMC proliferation may be an attractive approach for preventing in-stent restenosis.

Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) ranks as the second most common disease among men and the fourth most prevalent cancer worldwide. Enhanced glycolysis and excessive lactate secretion are recognized as critical factors driving the progression of various cancers. This study systematically investigated the research trends associated with glycolysis in PCa through bibliometric analysis.

Purinergic signaling plays a major role in aging and neurodegenerative diseases, which are associated with memory decline. Blackcurrant (BC), an anthocyanin-rich berry, is renowned for its antioxidant and neuroprotective activities. However, evidence on the effects of BC on purinergic signaling is lacking.
