A bifunctional amine/squaramide catalyst promoted direct aldol addition of an hydantoin surrogate to pyridine 2-carbaldehyde N-oxides to afford adducts bearing two vicinal tertiary/quaternary carbons in high diastereo- and enantioselectivity (d.r. up to >20:1; ee up to 98 %) is reported. Acid hydrolysis of adducts followed by reduction of the N-oxide group yields enantiopure carbinol-tethered quaternary hydantoin-azaarene conjugates with densely functionalized skeletons. DFT studies of the potential energy surface (B3LYP/6-31+G(d)+CPCM (dichloromethane)) of the reaction correlate the activity of different catalysts and support an intramolecular hydrogen-bond-assisted activation of the squaramide moiety in the transition state of the catalytic reaction.

A new class of heterocyclic ,-aminal and hemiaminal scaffolds was successfully obtained by means of a three-component reaction (3-CR) of 1,2-diaza-1,3-dienes (DDs), α-aminoacetals and iso(thio)cyanates. These stable imine surrogates are generated from key-substituted (thio)hydantoin intermediates through selective FeCl-catalyzed intramolecular -annulation.

The catalytic, enantio- and diastereoselective addition of hydantoin surrogates to "rigidified" vinylidene bis(sulfone) reagents is developed, thus overcoming the inability of commonly employed β-substituted vinylic sulfones to react. Adducts are transformed in enantioenriched 5,5-disubstituted hydantoins through hydrolysis and reductive desulfonylation processes providing new structures for eventual bioassays. Density functional theory studies that rationalize the observed reactivity and stereoselectivity trends are also provided.

Article Synopsis
- The reaction of HCl or trifluoroacetic acid salts with carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) facilitates the creation of monosubstituted carbamoylimidazoles without producing unwanted symmetrical urea byproducts.
- These carbamoylimidazoles are stable, can mimic isocyanates, and allow for the synthesis of various functional groups such as ureas and thiocarbamates through reactions with different nucleophiles.
- The method is effective for creating hydantoins and stereoselective chiral oxazolidinones, with notable success in synthesizing natural products like macaurea A, providing high yields in just a few steps.
Development and Use of an Ex-Vivo In-Vivo Correlation to Predict Antiepileptic Drug Clearance in Patients Undergoing Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy.

Objectives: Results from previous ex-vivo continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) models have successfully demonstrated similar extraction coefficients (EC) identified from in-vivo clinical trials. The objectives of this study are to develop an ex-vivo in-vivo correlation (EVIVC) model to predict drug clearance for commonly used antiepileptics and to evaluate similarity in drug extraction across different CRRT modalities to extrapolate dosing recommendations.
Methods: Levetiracetam, lacosamide, and phenytoin CRRT clearance was evaluated using the Prismaflex CRRT system and M150 hemodiafilters using an albumin containing normal saline (ALB-NS) vehicle with 3 different albumin concentrations (2 g/dL, 3 g/dL, and 4 g/dL) and a human plasma vehicle at 3 different effluent flow rates (1 L/hr, 2 L/hr, and 3 L/hr).
Clinical Efficacy of Enzalutamide vs Bicalutamide Combined With Androgen Deprivation Therapy in Men With Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: Black patients have been underrepresented in prospective clinical trials of advanced prostate cancer. This study evaluated the efficacy of enzalutamide compared with bicalutamide, with planned subset analysis of Black patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), which is a disease state responsive to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
Objective: To compare the efficacy of enzalutamide vs bicalutamide in combination with ADT in men with mHSPC, with a subset analysis of Black patients.
