Published: October 2010

The synthesis of spiro compounds via a Michael-Michael-aldol reaction is reported. The reaction affords spirooxindole derivatives in good yields and in almost diastereo- and enantiopure form. Moreover, the reaction works with several heterocycles such as oxindoles, benzofuranones, pyrazolones or azlactones rendering the final spiro compounds in good yields and excellent stereoselectivities.

Recent evidence indicates that endocrine resistance in estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer is closely correlated with phenotypic characteristics of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Nonetheless, identifying tumor tissues with a mesenchymal phenotype remains challenging in clinical practice. In this study, we validated the correlation between EMT status and resistance to endocrine therapy in ER+ breast cancer from a transcriptomic perspective.

Irbesartan improves ventricular remodeling (VR) following myocardial infarction (MI). This study investigates whether irbesartan attenuates VR by reducing aldosterone production in the heart and its underlying mechanisms. MI was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats through coronary artery ligation.

In this work, we developed a phosphine-catalyzed cascade lactonization/[2 + 1] annulation reaction between vinyl oxiranes and sulfonium compounds for the highly diastereoselective construction of spiro-2(3)-furanone skeletons. The cascade cycloaddition proceeds via the 2(5)-furanone phosphonium intermediate, introducing an oxygen-containing active intermediate for phosphine catalysis. These findings highlight the significant potential of harnessing vinyl oxiranes as versatile synthons for constructing spirocyclic compounds through simultaneous multicyclic skeleton formation.

Cushing's disease is a rare endocrine disorder characterized by hypercortisolism. Chronic elevated cortisol levels can lead to dysfunction or complications in multiple organs of systems, including cardiovascular, glucose, and bone metabolism, severely impacting patients' quality of life and posing life-threatening risks. Surgery is the first-line treatment for Cushing's disease.
