A new monoterpenoid indole alkaloid, kopsiyunnanine K, was isolated from Kopsia arborea. Its intriguing rearranged structure and absolute configuration, which were inferred from spectral data and a possible biosynthetic pathway, were determined on the basis of a 13-step asymmetric total synthesis.

Total synthesis of linear lipodepsipeptide kavaratamide A and its C25-epimer.

We report the stereoselective total synthesis of kavaratamide A, a linear lipodepsipeptide from the cyanobacterium (collected in Kavaratti, India), and its unnatural C25-epimer. The convergent approach employs Keck asymmetric allylation to construct the chiral β-hydroxy carboxylic acid fragment [(3)-HDA; 3-hydroxydecanoic acid], while the peptide unit was assembled from L-Val, -Me-L-Ala, ()-Hiva, and ()-Pr--Me-pyr using well-orchestrated coupling methods to prevent racemization. Modifications to the Keck allylation conditions enabled the synthesis of the C25-epimer with good yield.

Methods: The review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024562987) and reported based on the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist.
Outcome of a Mix-and-Match Approach with a Monofocal Aspherical and a Bifocal Extended Depth-of-Focus Intraocular Lens to Achieve Extended Monovision in Cataract Patients.

Department of Ophthalmology, Pallas Kliniken, Olten/Bern/Zürich/Dübendorf, Switzerland.
Background: Extended monovision is a novel mix-and-match approach that has been recently introduced. It involves implanting an aspherical monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) for distance vision in the dominant eye, and a bifocal extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) IOL in the nondominant eye. The target refraction for the nondominant eye is - 1.

Repetitive manual labor tasks involving twisting, bending, and lifting commonly lead to lower back and knee injuries in the workplace. To identify tasks with high injury risk, we recruited N = 9 participants to perform industry-relevant, 2-handed lifts with a 11-kg weight. These included symmetrical/asymmetrical, ascending/descending lifts that varied in start-to-end heights (knee-to-waist and waist-to-shoulder).

Plant sesterterpenoids are an extremely rare family of natural products that generally possess novel chemical structures and diverse biological activities. Here, we report the discovery of an unprecedented group of minor plant sesterterpenoids, gracilisoids B-E (2-5), which feature two types of highly functionalized bicyclo[3.2.
