Reaction of 6-chloro-2-fluoro-3-pyridineacetamide with 1,2-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)cyclobutene in ether saturated with hydrogen chloride afforded the keto amide in 85% yield. In the key step, treatment of the keto amide with aqueous KOH in t-BuOH resulted in a tandem intramolecular aldol reaction-intramolecular nucleophilic aromatic substitution sequence to give the tetracylic lactam in 46% yield. Reduction of the lactam with BH(3) in THF gave phantasmidine in 67% yield.

Gout is a systemic disorder that occurs due to an accumulation of uric acid crystals in the tissues. The association between the Ketogenic diet and uric acid concentration has been poorly established. This study aims to evaluate and assess the association of Serum uric acid and other variables with ketogenic diet among Gout patients in comparison with Healthy control subjects.

Elevated levels of the branched chain α-amino acids valine, leucine, and isoleucine are associated with heart disease and metabolic disorders. The kinase BDK, also known as branched-chain ketoacid dehydrogenase kinase (BCKDK), is a negative regulator of branched-chain α-amino acid metabolism through deactivation of BCKDC, the branched-chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex. Inhibitors of BDK increase the activity of BCKDC and could be useful therapeutic leads for cardiometabolic diseases.

Article Synopsis
- NAPE-PLD is an enzyme that hydrolyzes modified phosphatidylethanolamines (PE) with long acyl chains and also acts on non-enzymatically modified NALPEs formed during lipid peroxidation.
- Research identified various NALPE types produced from reactions with lipid aldehydes, including those derived from arachidonic and linoleic acid.
- NAPE-PLD can hydrolyze NALPEs at rates comparable to traditional NAPE substrates, indicating its broader role in managing lipid peroxidation products beyond its known function in creating acyl-ethanolamines.
Button-Push On-Demand Synthesis for Rapid Optimization of Antiviral Peptidomimetics.

The optimization of hit compounds into drug candidates is a pivotal phase in drug discovery but often hampered by cumbersome manual synthesis of derivatives. While automated organic molecule synthesis has enhanced efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness, achieving fully automated multistep synthesis remains a formidable challenge due to issues such as solvent and reagent incompatibilities and the accumulation of side-products. We herein demonstrate an automated solid-phase flow platform for synthesizing α-keto-amides and nitrile peptidomimetics, guided by docking simulations, to identify potent broad-spectrum antiviral leads.

The synthesis of enantioenriched α-substituted 1,3-dicarbonyls remains a contemporary challenge in synthesis due to their tendency to undergo racemization via keto-enol tautomerization. Herein, we report a method to access enantioenriched β-ketoamides by a chiral sulfinimine-mediated [3,3]-sigmatropic sulfonium rearrangement. The transformation displays good chirality transfer, as well as excellent chemoselectivity and functional group tolerance.
