Published: November 2019

(-)-Himeradine A is a complex lycopodium alkaloid with seven rings and ten stereogenic centers that shows anticancer activity against lymphoma L1210 cells. A total synthesis has been developed that builds off prior work on (+)-fastigiatine. A 2,4,6-trisubstitited piperidine ring forms the core of the quinolizidine segment, and was prepared by diastereoselective reduction of a pyridine and classic resolution of an intermediate. The remaining secondary amine was introduced with a catalyst-controlled Overman rearrangement. The piperidine segment was coupled in a B-alkyl Suzuki reaction with a bicyclic bromoenone, which was a key intermediate for the synthesis of (+)-fastigiatine. The final transformation featured a transannular Mannich reaction and cyclization to complete the quinolizidine. Five bonds and four new rings were generated in this one-pot procedure. (-)-Himeradine A was prepared in 17 steps in the longest linear sequence.

Background: Iron deficiency (ID) is the most common nutritional deficiency among patients undergoing major surgery. Treatment of ID is straightforward, however implementing a comprehensive anemia management strategy within clinical routines is complex. Recently, reticulocyte hemoglobin content (Ret-He) has been evaluated as an early marker for ID diagnosis.

Blood-based epigenome-wide association study and prediction of alcohol consumption.

Alcohol consumption is an important risk factor for multiple diseases. It is typically assessed via self-report, which is open to measurement error through recall bias. Instead, molecular data such as blood-based DNA methylation (DNAm) could be used to derive a more objective measure of alcohol consumption by incorporating information from cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) sites known to be linked to the trait.

Genome-wide identification of the Sec14 gene family and the response to salt and drought stress in soybean (Glycine max).

BMC Genomics

Henan Collaborative Innovation Center of Modern Biological Breeding, College of Agronomy, Henan Institute of Science and Technology, Xinxiang, 453003, China.

Background: The Sec14 domain is an ancient lipid-binding domain that evolved from yeast Sec14p and performs complex lipid-mediated regulatory functions in subcellular organelles and intracellular traffic. The Sec14 family is characterized by a highly conserved Sec14 domain, and is ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells and has diverse functions. However, the number and characteristics of Sec14 homologous genes in soybean, as well as their potential roles, remain understudied.
