A metal-free, photoinduced aerobic tandem amine dehydrogenation/Povarov cyclization/aromatization reaction between N-aryl glycine esters and indoles leads to tetracyclic 11H-indolo[3,2-c]quinolines under mild conditions and with high yields. The reaction can be performed by using molecular iodine along with visible light, or by combining an organic photoredox catalyst with a halide anion. Mechanistic studies reveal that product formation occurs through a combination of radical-mediated oxidation steps with an iminium ion or N-haloiminium ion [4+2]-cycloaddition, and the N-heterocyclic products constitute new analogues of the antiplasmodial natural alkaloid isocryptolepine.

Introduction: Shatavari is a herbal dietary supplement that may increase skeletal muscle strength in younger and older adults. Shatavari contains compounds with both estradiol-like and antioxidant properties, which could enhance muscle function. Postmenopausal women may derive the greatest benefit, as estrogen deficiency adversely impacts skeletal muscle function.

Objective: Managing blood glucose levels is challenging for elite athletes with type 1 diabetes (T1D) as competition can cause unpredictable fluctuations. While fear of hypoglycemia during physical activity is well documented, research on hyperglycemia-related anxiety (HRA) is limited. HRA refers to the heightened fear that hyperglycemia-related symptoms will impair functioning.

Article Synopsis
- Patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) offer a valuable approach to study breast cancer (BC) by mimicking real tumor environments and systemic effects, which in vitro models cannot achieve.
- A new method for orthotopic implantation of BC PDXs in immunodeficient mice eliminates the need for anesthesia, is less invasive, and allows for faster and scalable tumor model development.
- The validation process of the tumors includes assessing receptor status, confirming morphology, and verifying genetic similarity to patient samples, facilitating robust research across different BC subtypes.

Objectives: The changes in amino acid (AA) levels have been observed in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, it remains unclear whether the AA levels in offspring of GDM mothers are affected by GDM. This study aimed to investigate the changes in AA metabolism in offspring of pregnant women with GDM undergoing different glycemic control treatment regimens.
