Jogyamycin is a member of the aminocyclopentitol class of natural products that exhibits significant antiprotozoal activities against diseases that include African sleeping sickness and malaria. Herein, we report a route to the core of this natural product via an underutilized Ichikawa rearrangement as a key step. This route efficiently forms the cyclopentane ring from simple and easily accessible starting materials and rapidly installs the C1/C4/C5 polar functional groups. In addition, this strategy shows excellent potential for the preparation of analogues of jogyamycin to study how structural changes impact the selectivity in binding to the ribosome.

Although rearrangement of the MYC oncogene (MYC-R) is frequently observed in aggressive B-cell lymphomas, it is extremely rare in T-cell malignancies. A 64-year-old man who had been under observation for several years because of asymptomatic pulmonary extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALToma) was admitted to our hospital because of poor general condition and hypotension. Blood tests revealed thrombocytopenia and elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase levels, whereas computed tomography revealed systemic lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly.

Article Synopsis
- Cytogenetic analysis of the product of conception (POC) is crucial for identifying chromosomal abnormalities, which can guide preimplantation genetic testing; traditional G-staining methods often fail due to issues with cell culture.* -
- Recent research suggests that low-coverage whole-genome sequencing (lcWGS) using next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a promising alternative for POC analysis, with two NGS protocols showing equivalent results across 20 samples.* -
- However, caution is advised when interpreting data related to the X chromosome, as some anomalies may stem from technical artifacts rather than true genetic conditions, indicating the need for careful analysis in NGS applications.*

Ample biologically active peptides have been found, identified and modified for use in drug discovery to date. However, several factors, such as low metabolic stability due to proteolysis and non-specific interactions with multiple off-target molecules, might limit the therapeutic use of peptides. To enhance the stability and/or bioactivity of peptides, the development of "peptidomimetics," which mimick peptide molecules, is considered to be idealistic.

An emerging group of spindle cell neoplasms harboring fusions involving NTRK or non-NTRK kinase genes often share characteristic S100 and/or CD34 expression; however, the diagnostic utility of immunohistochemical stains is not well established in this family owing to their lack of specificity. Recently, CD30 expression in spindle cell neoplasms with kinase gene fusions, such as NTRK, BRAF, RAF1, and RET, has been increasingly identified. We herein report a 10-year-old girl with high-grade spindle cell sarcoma of the neck.

Described herein is the first total synthesis of a marine isocyanide terpene, (±)-halichonadin C. Our synthetic strategy features nitrile-to-isocyanide interconversion utilizing hypervalent iodine-promoted Hofmann rearrangement. This approach led to successful construction of an isocyanide group at the stereochemically encumbered C-6 position in (±)-halichonadin C.
