A multicomponent catalytic reaction between ketones, Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) carbonates and trifluoromethylthiolating agents is devised for straightforwardly accessing two products, α-trifluoromethylthiolated ketones and α-methylene β-amino esters in a one pot fashion. Particularly noteworthy is that the trifluoromethylthiolating reagent is employed as both the nitrogen and SCF3 source initiated by DABCO. This mild one pot strategy enjoys atom- and step-economic attractiveness, for direct introduction of an SCF3 group onto a variety of acyclic ketones, which have been considered as less effective and less developed substrates.

Starvation, intermittent fasting and exercise, all of which are recommended lifestyle modifiers share a common metabolic signature, ketogenesis to generate the ketone bodies, predominantly β-hydroxybutyrate. β-hydroxybutyrate exerts beneficial effects across various contexts, preventing or mitigating disease. We hypothesized that these dynamic health benefits of β-hydroxybutyrate might stem from its ability to regulate genome architecture through chromatin remodeling via histone β-hydroxybutyrylation, thereby influencing the transcriptome.

Background: The global emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2019 posed unprecedented challenges to healthcare systems, disrupting routine services and necessitating swift adaptations. Harm reduction programs, vital for addressing substance use-related health risks, faced unique challenges during the pandemic, impacting vulnerable populations. This study focuses on the repercussions of Covid-19 on harm reduction policies in Iran, specifically examining the distribution of condoms, syringes, and methadone to high-risk individuals attending Triangle Centers.

During the recent development of machine-learning (ML) methods for organic synthesis, the value of "failed experiments" has increasingly been acknowledged. Accordingly, we have developed an exhaustive database comprising 300 entries of experimental data obtained by performing ruthenium-catalyzed hydrogenation reactions using 10 ketones as substrates and 30 phosphine ligands. After evaluating the predictive performance of ML models using the constructed database, we conducted a virtual screening of commercially available phosphine ligands.

Background: Tumor cells can drive the senescence of effector T cells by unbalancing their lipid metabolism, thereby limiting adoptive T cell therapy and contributing to tumor immune evasion. Our objective is to provide a feasible strategy for enhancing T cell treatment efficacy against solid tumors.

Methods: In this study, liposomal arachidonyl trifluoromethyl ketone (ATK) was anchored onto the adoptive T cell surface via bioorthogonal reactions, aiming to specifically inhibit the group IVA cytosolic phospholipase Aα (cPLAα), a key enzyme facilitating phospholipid metabolism and senescent state of T cells.

Keto reductases are crucial NAD(P)H-dependent enzymes used for the enantioselective synthesis of alcohols from prochiral ketones. Typically, the NADPH cofactor is regenerated through a second enzyme and/or substrate. However, photocatalytic cofactor regeneration using water as a sacrificial electron and hydrogen donor presents a promising alternative, albeit a challenging one.
