Spiro bis-C,C-α-arylglycosides were synthesized in three steps in 78-85% overall yields starting from exo-glycals. The initial Heck type C-aryl addition of exo-glycals with arylboronic acids afforded α-aryl-β-substituted C-glycosides with exclusive α-stereoselectivity. Among the products, β-ethanal α-aryl C-glycosides further reacted with alkylthiol in the presence of InCl3, followed by in situ Friedel-Crafts cyclization to yield the desirable final products. We proposed a mechanism to explain how the α-aryl group serves as a main determinant of the cyclization.

The synthesis of chiral -difluorinated spiro-heterocyclic compounds continues to be a significant challenge in organic chemistry due to their widespread applications across various fields. Therefore, efficient asymmetric approaches for the synthesis of -difluorinated spiroindanone-dihydroquinazolinones are particularly valuable, especially in the industrial manufacturing of chiral fluorinated drugs. Herein, we developed the CPA-catalyzed asymmetric enantioselective cyclization reactions of -difluoroalkyl 1,3-indandiones with anthranilamides to achieve various chiral 2,2-difluoro-spiroindanone-dihydroquinazolinones in good to high yields with excellent enantioselectivities.

The present study aims to create spiro-N-(4-sulfamoyl-phenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-carboxamide derivatives with anticancer activities. The in vitro anticancer evaluation showed that only the novel spiro-acenaphthylene tethered-[1,3,4]-thiadiazole (compound ) exhibited significant anticancer efficacy as a selective inhibitor of tumor-associated isoforms of carbonic anhydrase. Compound demonstrated considerable efficacy against the renal RXF393, colon HT29, and melanoma LOX IMVI cancer cell lines, with IC values of 7.

Organocatalytic, enantioselective decarboxylative Mannich reactions of α,β-unsaturated β'-ketoacids and isatin -Boc imines, to give the corresponding 3-carbamoyl-2-oxindole derivatives, were developed. Subsequent N-deprotection and diastereoselective, intramolecular, aza-Michael reaction of the free amine provides previously unreported spiro[indoline-3,2'-piperidine]-2,4'-diones.

The pinnatoxins (PnTXs) and portimines, produced by , have been detected in several countries, raising concerns for human health. Although no human poisoning from these toxins has been reported so far, they have been shown to distribute throughout the rodent body after oral administration. Therefore, we investigated the impact of PnTX analogs (PnTX-A, -E, -F, -G, and -H) and portimine (8, 16, and 32 ng/mL) on intestinal barrier integrity and their oral bioavailability using human Caco-2 cell monolayers treated for 2, 6, and 24 h.

Entamoeba histolytica infections range from asymptomatic intestinal amebiasis to more severe syndromes like invasive colitis or hepatic abscess. While diagnostic tests available for assessing these infections have evolved, the optimal use of newer diagnostics like enteric multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) panels has not been fully established. Here we describe the case of a 34-year-old male with an amebic liver abscess (ALA) that was diagnosed via multiplex Gastrointestinal (GI) PCR panel on formed stool and subsequently confirmed by testing liver abscess fluid (off-label) on the same multiplex GI PCR panel leading to rapid diagnosis and targeted treatment modification with excellent outcome.
