Efficient synthesis of 3-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-β-D- and β-L-threo-pentofuranose (1,2-O-isopropylidene-β-D- and β-L-cordycepose) was accomplished starting from D- and L-arabinofuranose derivatives, respectively, by the action of LiBH(Et)3 on corresponding intermediate 3-O-lyxofuranosyl trifluoromethanesulfonates.

Post-transcriptional modifications at the anticodon stem-loop of tRNAs are key to the translation function. Metabolic pathways to these modifications often incorporate complex enzymology. A notable example is the hypermodified nucleoside, queuosine, found at the wobble position of Asn, Asp, His, and Tyr encoding tRNAs.

The computational study of the most relevant interactions of the nanomolar purine nucleoside BuChE selective inhibitor has shown that the benzyl group at position 2 and the purine acetamido group are required for activity. In addition, the synthesis of a 6-iodinated radiolabelled analogue and the study of bioavailability have shown a low percentage of uptake by the brain after 1 hour. These results encouraged the synthesis of a small library of new compounds, focussing on deoxygenation at other positions aiming to access active and more bioavailable structures.

Tumor cells are decorated with aberrant glycan structures on cell surfaces. It is well known that the glycocalyx serves as a main cellular regulator, although its role in cancer is still not completely understood. Over recent decades, several non-natural monosaccharides carrying clickable groups have been introduced in melanoma cells.

Article Synopsis
- *Methods: The trial involved 59 women, split into a KT group and a control group, who had their muscle blood perfusion measured using near-infrared spectroscopy before and after applying the tape, with statistical analysis to compare results.
- *Results: While there were no significant differences in blood oxygen levels or deoxygenated hemoglobin between the KT and control groups, the KT group showed a notably larger decrease in certain measurements, suggesting potential clinical relevance despite the lack of statistical significance.
Stoichiometry Dependence in the Consecutive, Competing Reduction, Halogenation, or Deoxygenation of Aryl Carbonyls.

Article Synopsis
- Six key chemical transformations of aryl carbonyls can be achieved by manipulating the amounts of borane-amine and titanium tetrachloride reagents, which work together as a hydride donor, catalyst, and halogen source.
- These transformations include reducing carbonyls to alcohols, converting carbonyls to halides, and deoxygenating compounds to form alkanes, among others.
- The selectivity of these reactions relies on the stability of the carbocation intermediates, allowing for precise transformations at the benzylic positions of substrates, enabling techniques like selective benzylic dehalogenation and dehydroxyhalogenation of alcohols.
