We have developed an efficient strategy to a skeletally diverse chemical library, which entailed a sequence of enyne cycloisomerization, [4 + 2] cycloaddition, alkene dihydroxylation, and diol carbamylation. Using this approach, only 16 readily available building blocks were needed to produce a representative 191-member library, which displayed broad distribution of molecular shapes and excellent physicochemical properties. This library further enabled identification of a small molecule, which effectively suppressed glycolytic production of ATP and lactate in CHO-K1 cell line, representing a potential lead for the development of a new class of glycolytic inhibitors.

Correlation of fecal microbiome dysregulation to synovial transcriptome in an equine model of obesity associated osteoarthritis.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is increasingly thought to be a multifactorial disease in which sustained gut inflammation serves as a continued source of inflammatory mediators driving degenerative processes at distant sites such as joints. The objective of this study was to use the equine model of naturally occurring obesity associated OA to compare the fecal microbiome in OA and health and correlate those findings to differential gene expression synovial fluid (SF) cells, circulating leukocytes and cytokine levels (plasma, SF) towards improved understanding of the interplay between microbiome and immune transcriptome in OA pathophysiology.
Methods: Feces, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and SF cells were isolated from healthy skeletally mature horses (n=12; 6 males, 6 females) and those with OA (n=6, 2 females, 4 males).

The first ontogenetic model for non-crocodylomorph loricatans, based on osteohistology of the ontogenetic series of Prestosuchus chiniquensis from the Middle Triassic of Brazil.

Prestosuchus chiniquensis is an iconic non-crocodylomorph loricatan from the Brazilian Triassic beds and the best-known taxon, represented by several specimens. The completeness and preservation of its skeleton make it a valuable taxon for paleobiological studies. We explore the microstructure of bone tissues of appendicular elements and ribs of three specimens of Prestosuchus to access a variety of aspects of its paleobiology, such as histovariability, ontogeny, and growth patterns.

Sets of electrophilic probes are generally prepared using a narrow toolkit of robust reactions, which tends to limit both their structural and functional diversity. A unified synthesis of skeletally-diverse sulfonyl fluorides was developed that relied upon photoredox-catalysed dehydrogenative couplings between hetaryl sulfonyl fluorides and hydrogen donor building blocks. A set of 32 diverse probes was prepared, and then screened against Trypanosoma brucei.

Benzothiazole-bearing compounds have emerged as potential noncovalent DprE1 (decaprenylphosphoryl-β-d-ribose-2'-epimerase) inhibitors active against . Based on structure-based virtual screening (PDB ID: 4KW5), a focused library of thirty-one skeletally diverse benzothiazole amides was prepared, and the compounds were assessed for their antitubercular activity against H37Ra. Most potent compounds and were further evaluated against the H37Rv strain by the microdilution assay method.
