4-Methoxybenzyl 2,4-di-O-benzyl-3-O-[2,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-3-O-(3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-alpha-D- galactopyranosyl)-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl]-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside (22), a building block for the alpha-D-Galp-(1----3)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1----3)-alpha-L-Rhap fragment of the capsular polysaccharides of Streptococcus pneumoniae types 6A and 6B [----2)-alpha-D-Galp-(1----3)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1----3)-alpha-L-Rhap-( 1----X)-D- RibOH-(5-P----]n (6A, X = 3; 6B, X = 4) has been synthesised. Ethyl 3-O-allyl-2,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-1-thio-beta-D-glucopyranoside was coupled with 4-methoxybenzyl 2,4-di-O-benzyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside in ether, using methyl triflate as promoter. The resulting alpha-D-Glcp-(1----3)-alpha-L-Rhap derivative was deallylated with KOBut in N,N-dimethylformamide followed by 0.1M HCl in 9:1 acetone-water. The product was coupled with 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-O-allyl-alpha,beta-D-galactopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate in ether, using trimethylsilyl triflate, to yield 19. Deacetylation, benzylation, and deallylation then gave 22.

Sphingolipids serve as building blocks of membranes to ensure subcellular compartmentalization and facilitate intercellular communication. How cell type-specific lipid compositions are achieved and what is their functional significance in tissue morphogenesis and maintenance has remained unclear. Here, we identify a stem cell-specific role for ceramide synthase 4 (CerS4) in orchestrating fate decisions in skin epidermis.

Pd-Catalyzed Asymmetric Synthesis of Chiral 2-Trifluoromethyl-4-(indol-3-yl)-4-chromene Derivatives.

J Org Chem

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Fine Chemicals, Department of Pharmaceutical Engineering, School of Chemical Engineering, Dalian University of Technology, 2 Linggong Road, Dalian 116024, China.

This paper presents a new strategy for the construction of the chiral 4-chromene skeleton. A series of chiral 2-trifluoromethyl-4-(indol-3-yl)-4-chromenes were synthesized in moderate to good yields (60-92%) with excellent enantioselectivity (up to 97% ee) through the palladium-catalyzed asymmetric condensation of 2-chromenes and indoles. These trifluoromethylated, stereochemically rich building blocks hold potential value in medicinal chemistry.

Functional principal component analysis with informative observation times.

Biometrika

October 2024

Department of Statistics, North Carolina State University, 2311 Stinson Drive, Raleigh, North Carolina 27695, USA.

Functional principal component analysis has been shown to be invaluable for revealing variation modes of longitudinal outcomes, which serve as important building blocks for forecasting and model building. Decades of research have advanced methods for functional principal component analysis, often assuming independence between the observation times and longitudinal outcomes. Yet such assumptions are fragile in real-world settings where observation times may be driven by outcome-related processes.

Co-Delivery of Dacarbazine and miRNA 34a Combinations to Synergistically Improve Malignant Melanoma Treatments.

Drug Des Devel Ther

January 2025

Department of Pharmaceutical Analysis, Higher Educational Key Laboratory for Nano Biomedical Technology of Fujian Province, The School of Pharmacy, Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, 350122, People's Republic of China.

Purpose: The incidence of malignant melanoma (MM) has risen over the past three decades, and despite advancements in treatment, there is still a need to improve treatment modalities. This study developed a promising strategy for tumor-targeted co-delivery of Dacarbazine (DTIC) and miRNA 34a-loaded PHRD micelles (Co-PHRD) for combination treatment of MM.

Methods: To construct the dual drug-loaded delivery system Co-PHRD, poly (L-arginine)-poly (L-histidine)-polylactic acid (PLA) was employed as a building block.
