The stannylation of indole derivatives proceeds in good yields under palladium catalysis (5 mol %) without protection of the indolic nitrogen. The general utility of both PdCl(2)(PhCN)(2)/PCy(3) and Pd(2)dba(3)/PCy(3) as catalytic systems for the stannylation of three indole derivatives, with varying degrees of electron density, is presented.

The gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in anxiety regulation through pathways involving neurotransmitter production, immune signaling, and metabolic interactions. Among these, gut-derived serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), synthesized from tryptophan metabolism, has been identified as a key mediator. However, it remains unclear whether specific microbial factors regulate tryptophan metabolism to influence 5-HT production and anxiety regulation.

Indole, a ubiquitous structural motif in bioactive compounds, has played a pivotal role in drug discovery. Among indole derivatives, indole-3-carboxaldehyde (I3A) has emerged as a particularly promising scaffold for the development of therapeutic agents. This review delves into the recent advancements in the chemical modification of I3A and its derivatives, highlighting their potential applications in various therapeutic areas.

Sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, but our understanding of the mechanisms underlying survival or susceptibility is limited. Here, as pathogens often subvert host defence mechanisms, we hypothesized that this might influence the outcome of sepsis. We used microbiota analysis, faecal microbiota transplantation, antibiotic treatment and caecal metabolite analysis to show that gut-microbiota-derived tryptophan metabolites including indoles increased host survival in a mouse model of Serratia marcescens sepsis.

Tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) has emerged as a promising therapeutic target in cancers driven by NTRK gene fusions. Herein, we report a highly potent TRK inhibitor, C11, developed using bioisosteric replacement and computer-aided drug design (CADD) strategies. Compound C11 demonstrated significant antiproliferative effects against TRK-dependent cell lines (Km-12), and exhibited a dose-dependent inhibition of both colony formation and cell migration.

Marine microbial communities colonizing the skin of invertebrates constitute the primary barrier between host and environment, potentially exerting beneficial, neutral, or detrimental effects on host fitness. To evaluate the potential contribution of epibiotic bacteria to the survival of early developmental stages of Octopus mimus, bacterial isolates were obtained from eggs, paralarvae, and adults. Their enzymatic activities were determined, and antibacterial properties were assessed against common marine pathogens.
