α,β-Unsaturated acyl cyanides are key bis-electrophile substrates for successful domino enantioselective organocatalyzed Michael-intramolecular acylation domino sequences. This new reactivity has been applied to the synthesis of enantioenriched azaspiro[4,5]decanone ring systems by a formal [3+3]spiroannulation, constituting a rare example of synthesis of glutarimides in an optically active form.

Identifying metabolomic mediators of the physical activity and colorectal cancer relationship.
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev
January 2025
University of Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom.
Background: Current evidence suggests higher physical activity (PA) levels are associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the mediating role of the circulating metabolome in this relationship remains unclear.
Methods: Targeted metabolomics data from 6,055 participants in the EPIC cohort were used to identify metabolites associated with PA and derive a metabolomic signature of PA levels.
Selective Synthesis of Acyl-Sulfonyl Hydrazide Isomers: The Role of the Countercation of Base Selection in Palladium-Catalyzed Aminocarbonylations.

Selective synthesis of isomeric -acyl--sulfonyl and ,-acyl-sulfonyl hydrazides is achieved via palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of aryl iodides with sulfonyl hydrazides under CO. The base's countercation, rather than its basicity, controls product isomerism. Conventional bases yield linear isomers, whereas sodium-based bases favor branched ones.

The rapid intraerythrocytic replication of Plasmodium falciparum, a deadly species of malaria parasite, requires a quick but constant supply of phospholipids to support marked cell membrane expansion. In the malarial parasite, many enzymes functioning in phospholipid synthesis pathway have not been identified or characterized. Here, we identify P.

Protein mycoloylation is a newly characterized post-translational modification (PTM) specifically found in Corynebacteriales, an order of bacteria that includes numerous human pathogens. Their envelope is composed of a unique outer membrane, the so-called mycomembrane made of very-long chain fatty acids, named mycolic acids. Recently, some mycomembrane proteins including PorA have been unambiguously shown to be covalently modified with mycolic acids in the model organism Corynebacterium glutamicum by a mechanism that relies on the mycoloyltransferase MytC.

Crit Rev Biochem Mol Biol
January 2025
Department of Chemistry, Emory University, Atlanta, GA, USA.
Mononuclear non-heme iron enzymes catalyze a wide array of important oxidative transformations. They are correspondingly diverse in both structure and mechanism. Despite significant evolutionary distance, it is becoming increasingly apparent that these enzymes nonetheless illustrate a compelling case of mechanistic convergence the formation of peroxo species bridging metal and substrate.
