Inspired by quinine and its analogues, we designed, synthesized, and evaluated two series of quinoline small molecular compounds ( and ) and six series of quinoline derivatives (-) for their antifungal activities. The results showed that compounds and series exhibited significant fungicidal activities. Significantly, compounds (EC = 0.41 μg/mL) and (EC = 0.55 μg/mL) displayed the superior in vitro fungicidal activity and the potent in vivo curative effect against . Preliminary mechanism studies showed that compounds and could cause changes in the cell membrane permeability, accumulation of reactive oxygen species, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, and effective inhibition of germination and formation of sclerotia. These results indicate that compounds and are novel potential fungicidal candidates against derived from natural products.

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are aggressive sarcomas and the primary cause of mortality in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). These malignancies develop within preexisting benign lesions called plexiform neurofibromas (PNs). PNs are solely driven by biallelic loss eliciting RAS pathway activation, and they respond favorably to MEK inhibitor therapy.

In this study, we developed palladium-catalyzed dehydrogenative cyclization to transform 1-(2-aminoaryl)-3-arylpropan-1-ones into 2-arylquinolin-4(1)-ones, also known as aza-flavones which are the bioisosteres of flavones, in an atom-economic manner. This method exhibited excellent chemical compatibility with a broad substrate scope, accommodating up to 25 derivatives. Additionally, kinetic studies were performed to elucidate the reaction mechanism.

Alstoschoquinolines A-D (-) representing three unprecedented scaffolds were isolated from the leaves of through direct separation by LC/MS detection. and consisted of a 5/6/5-coupled quinoline architecture containing six consecutive chiral carbons, while and possessed a bridged ring featuring 6/6/6/6 and 6/6/8/6 skeletons, respectively. They might be derived from the corynantheine-type indole alkaloid via sequential oxidation and rearrangement.

Background: There are no cures for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by elevation of beta‐amyloid and tau proteins besides neuronal death and causing cognitive impairment. Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) is a cyclic guanosine monophosphate‐degrading enzyme involved in numerous biological pathways including those relevant to memory formation. PDE5 inhibition offers the potential to attenuate AD progression by acting at the downstream level of beta‐amyloid and tau elevation.
