Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia worldwide. AD brains are characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-β peptides (Aβ) that bind Cu and have been associated with several neurotoxic mechanisms. Although the use of copper chelators to prevent the formation of Cu-Aβ complexes has been proposed as a therapeutic strategy, recent studies show that copper is an important neuromodulator that is essential for a neuroprotective mechanism mediated by Cu binding to the cellular prion protein (PrP).

A new series of chiral δ-thiolactone derivatives have been prepared. These compounds exemplify the acetalic N-C-S reversibility of fused thiazolidines toward the thermodynamic product. The stereochemistry of the synthesized compounds was elucidated using X-ray crystallography, NOESY spectroscopy, and DFT calculations.

(-)-Exiguolide is a marine macrolide natural product with potent anticancer activity. In this study, the total synthesis of exiguolide stereoisomers, (9)-exiguolide, (9,13)-exiguolide, and (9,13,19)-exiguolide, was achieved by capitalizing on our macrocyclization/transannular pyran cyclization strategy. The impact of the stereochemical permutation on the reactivity of advanced intermediates, the conformation of the macrocyclic skeleton, and the antiproliferative activity against human cancer cells were investigated in detail.

Covering: 2009 up to the end of 2023Stilbenes, an emblematic group of polyphenols, have attracted the attention of numerous researchers owing to their intriguing polycyclic architectures and diverse bioactivities. In this updated review, natural stilbenes were analysed, especially oligomeric stilbenes, which are an emblematic group of polyphenols that harbor intriguing polycyclic architectures and diverse bioactivities compared with those previously anticipated. Oligomeric stilbenes with unique skeletons comprise a large majority of natural stilbenes owing to their structural changes and different substitutions on the phenyl rings.

Eleven new chromane meroterpenoids (1-11), along with 24 known ones (12-35) were isolated from Rhododendron capitatum, a Tibetan medicine. Their structures were determined via extensive spectroscopic methods. The absolute configurations of 1 and 2 were determined by comparison of the experimental and theoretically calculated ECD data.
