A facile and diversity-oriented synthetic strategy toward aminocyclitol natural products from inexpensive -symmetric l-tartaric acid was developed. The pivotal epoxide was used as a common intermediate to accomplish eight diverse target molecules in six to eleven steps. Various allyl-amine-type conduramines were synthesized in a diastereoselective manner. Heck arylation was explored to construct a phenanthridone ring in a concise synthesis of (+)-lycoricidine. In addition, a highly efficient formal synthesis of (-)-laminitol was developed.

Article Synopsis
- Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and aggressive skin cancer primarily linked to Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV), which promotes tumor growth through its large T (LT) antigens.
- The study aims to identify small natural antiviral compounds that can inhibit the proliferation of MCC by targeting the LT protein, using advanced computational drug design techniques.
- From screening 2,190 phytochemicals, five promising compounds were identified with high binding energy values, highlighting their potential as therapeutic agents against MCPyV-related cancers.

Enantioselective total syntheses of the anticancer isocarbostyril alkaloids (+)-7-deoxypancratistatin, (+)-pancratistatin, (+)-lycoricidine, and (+)-narciclasine are described. Our strategy for accessing this unique class of natural products is based on the development of a Ni-catalyzed dearomative trans-1,2-carboamination of benzene. The effectiveness of this dearomatization approach is notable, as only two additional olefin functionalizations are needed to construct the fully decorated aminocyclitol cores of these alkaloids.

The total synthesis of lycoricidine and narciclasine is enabled by an arenophile-mediated dearomative dihydroxylation of bromobenzene. Subsequent transpositive Suzuki coupling and cycloreversion deliver a key biaryl dihydrodiol intermediate, which is rapidly converted into lycoricidine through site-selective syn-1,4-hydroxyamination and deprotection. The total synthesis of narciclasine is accomplished by the late-stage, amide-directed C-H hydroxylation of a lycoricidine intermediate.

In the fasting state, gluconeogenesis is upregulated by glucagon. Glucagon stimulates cyclic adenosine monophosphate production, which induces the expression of key enzymes for gluconeogenesis, such as cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK-C), which are involved in gluconeogenesis through the protein kinase A/cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) pathway. Using a luciferase reporter gene assay, a methanol extract of the bulbs of Lycoris sanguinea M var.
