The first total synthesis of the trimethyl ester of kadcoccinic acid A is described. The central structural element of our synthesis is a cyclopentenone motif that allows the assembly of the natural product skeleton. A gold(I)-catalyzed cyclization of an enynyl acetate led to efficient construction of the cyclopentenone scaffold. In this step, optimization studies revealed that the stereochemistry of the enynyl acetate dictates regioisomeric cyclopentenone formation. The synthesis further highlights an efficient copper-mediated conjugate addition, merged with a gold(I)-catalyzed Conia-ene reaction to connect the two fragments, thereby forging the D-ring of the natural product. The synthetic strategy reported herein can provide a general platform to access the skeleton of other members of this family of natural products.

Introduction: Sarcopenia is a disease primarily characterized by age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass, muscle strength, and/or decline in physical performance. Sarcopenia has an insidious onset which can cause functional impairment in the body and increase the risk of falls and disability in the elderly. It significantly increases the likelihood of fractures and mortality, severely impairing the quality of life and health of the elderly people.

The ruthenium compounds have been known to have the wide range of potential applications as anticancer, antibacterial and anti-diabetic etc. The ligand substitutions play a vital role in enhancing the pharmacological and biological activities. In the present study, three ruthenium-metal based complexes, designated as (I-III), were synthesized and characterized employing element analysis, FTIR and HNMR.

Objective: Hyponatremia after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is common, however the incidence, and association with vasospasm, morbidity, and mortality, has yet to be defined. We aimed to identify incidence of hyponatremia after aSAH, and quantify its association with measurable outcomes.
Methods: A PRISMA-compliant systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted (PROSPERO ID CRD42022363472).

Background: Plant-based foods have reduced protein digestibility and frequently display unbalanced amino acid profiles. Plant-based foods are therefore considered inferior to animal-based foods in their anabolic potential. No study has assessed the anabolic potential of a vegan diet that provides a large variety of plant-based protein sources in older adults.

It has been found that severe lipid metabolism disorders are often present in patients with Psoriasis, including decreased levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL). This study initially explored the impact of HDL level variations on psoriasis by collecting. This study collected 12 blood samples and 9 skin samples from psoriasis vulgaris and psoriasis vulgaris with reduced HDL levels and performed bulk RNA sequencing.
