2-(methoxymethoxymethyl)aryllead triacetates, obtained in situ from the corresponding arylboronic acids, reacted with 4-hydroxycoumarins, leading to 3-(2-methoxymethoxymethyl)aryl-4-hydroxycoumarin derivatives in good to high yields. These compounds underwent a cascade sequence of reactions, deprotection-halogenation-annulation, to afford polyoxygenated tetracyclic 6H,11H-[2]benzopyrano-[4,3-c] [1]benzopyran-11-ones in good yields. Some compounds showed a moderate cytotoxicity against human epithelial mammary HBL100 cells.

The ZSM-5 zeolite is the key active component in high-severity fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) catalysts and is routinely activated by phosphorus compounds in industrial production. To date, however, the detailed structure and function of the introduced phosphorus still remain ambiguous, which hampers the rational design of highly efficient catalysts. In this work, using advanced solid-state NMR techniques, we have quantitatively identified a total of seven types of P-containing complexes in P-modified ZSM-5 zeolite and clearly revealed their structure, location, and catalytic role.

This study investigates the potential of boron trifluoride etherate (BF·OEt) to trigger unprecedented reactions of 2-oxoaldehydes with nitriles and amides/sulphonamides. In contrast to the mechanism in conventional reactions, the α-carbonyl group in 2-oxoaldehydes induces a cyclization pathway to be followed when reacting with nitriles, yielding 4-amidooxazoles. Additionally, reactions with weak nucleophiles produce β-keto amides/sulphonamides.

Introduction: Epilepsy encompasses numerous syndromes characterized by spontaneous, intermittent, and abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Affecting about 1-2% of the population, it is estimated that approximately 30-40% of patients experience refractory epilepsy, which does not respond to traditional anticonvulsant drugs.
Aims: Therefore, developing novel, safe, and effective antiepileptic drugs remains a medical need.
Fragmenstein: predicting protein-ligand structures of compounds derived from known crystallographic fragment hits using a strict conserved-binding-based methodology.

Current strategies centred on either merging or linking initial hits from fragment-based drug design (FBDD) crystallographic screens generally do not fully leaverage 3D structural information. We show that an algorithmic approach (Fragmenstein) that 'stitches' the ligand atoms from this structural information together can provide more accurate and reliable predictions for protein-ligand complex conformation than general methods such as pharmacophore-constrained docking. This approach works under the assumption of conserved binding: when a larger molecule is designed containing the initial fragment hit, the common substructure between the two will adopt the same binding mode.

Lactacystin is an irreversible proteasome inhibitor isolated from Streptomyces lactacystinicus. Despite its importance for its biological activity, the biosynthesis of lactacystin remains unknown. In this study, we identified the lactacystin biosynthetic gene cluster by gene disruption and heterologous expression experiments.
