A systematic study on the directed Pd-catalyzed (hetero)arylation of 26 substituted cyclic α-amino acids at the C(3)-atom was performed. For the first time, the 7- and 8-membered cyclic amino acids were introduced to C-H activation. 8-Aminoquinoline was used as a directing group. Effects of the ring size and the substituents on the reaction efficacy and stereoselectivity were studied.

Article Synopsis
- Cyclotides are cyclic peptides mostly consisting of 29-31 amino acids, but a novel 34-amino acid cyclotide was identified in the medicinal plant Viola philippica, which could enhance our understanding of plant cyclotide diversity.
- The newly discovered cyclotide, named viphi I, features unique loop structures and a chimeric primary structure, indicating significant differences from other cyclotides in V. philippica.
- viphi I demonstrated notable biological activities, reducing cell viability in response to cadmium exposure and affecting lifespan in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, suggesting potential applications in combating heavy metal toxicity and nematode infestations.

The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling exert essential regulatory function in microbial-and onco-immunology through the induction of cytokines, primarily type I interferons. Recently, the aberrant and deranged signaling of the cGAS-STING axis is closely implicated in multiple sterile inflammatory diseases, including heart failure, myocardial infarction, cardiac hypertrophy, nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases, aortic aneurysm and dissection, obesity, etc. This is because of the massive loads of damage-associated molecular patterns (mitochondrial DNA, DNA in extracellular vesicles) liberated from recurrent injury to metabolic cellular organelles and tissues, which are sensed by the pathway.

Lipid accumulation often leads to lipotoxic injuries to hepatocytes, which can cause nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. The association of inflammation with lipid accumulation in liver tissue has been studied for decades; however, key mechanisms have been identified only recently. In particular, it is still unknown how hepatic inflammation regulates lipid metabolism in hepatocytes.

The binding affinity of short chain somatostatin (SRIF) analogues at the five human SRIF receptors (sst) was determined to identify sterically constrained somatostatin receptor subtype 1 (sst(1)) selective scaffolds. Des-AA(1,2,4,13)-[d-Trp(8)]SRIF (2) retained high binding affinity at all receptors but sst(1), Des-AA(1,2,4,5)-[d-Trp(8)]SRIF (3) at sst(4) and sst(5), and Des-AA(1,2,4,5,13)-[d-Trp(8)]SRIF (4) at sst(2) and sst(4) (AA = amino acid). Des-AA(1,2,4,12,13)-[d-Trp(8)]SRIF (6) was potent and sst(4)-selective (>25-fold); Des-AA(1,2,5,12,13)-[d-Trp(8)]SRIF (7) and Des-AA(1,2,4,5,12,13)-[d-Trp(8)]-SRIF (9, ODT-8) were most potent at sst(4) and moderately potent at all other receptors.
