The development of chiral architectures for chiral ligand and catalyst discovery is essential for asymmetric catalysis. Herein, we report the concise synthesis of a Si-centered spirocyclic skeleton, spirobiphenoxasilin-diol (SPOSiOL), and its derived chiral ligands. Using the chemical resolution method, the optical SPOSiOL could be obtained in high yield on a gram scale. Preliminary studies indicated that this ligand scaffold has great potential in transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric reactions. This finding further highlights that the Si-centered spirocyclic scaffolds are of great value in asymmetric catalysis.

Selenium, an essential trace mineral for health, has seen a rise in clinical trials over the past nearly 5 decades. Our aim here is to provide a comprehensive and concise overview of selenium clinical trials from 1976 to 2023. Overall, the evolution of selenium clinical trials over 48 years has advanced through phases of emergence, prosperity, and either stability or transition.

The DNA adducts formed by the alkenylbenzene natural products, safrole (SF) and methyleugenol (MEG) are primarily attributed to their reported carcinogenic properties. Herein, we report a concise strategy to access -Ac-SF/MEG-dA phosphoramidites, which were selectively incorporated into DNA oligonucleotides by solid-phase DNA synthesis. The replication studies using human polymerases hpolκ and hpolη showed that both polymerases replicate these adducts error-free, which indicates that these polymerases do not contribute to the adduct-induced mutagenicity.

Neurological diseases are associated with disruptions in the brain lipidome that are becoming central to disease pathogenesis. Traditionally perceived as static structural support in membranes, lipids are now known to be actively involved in cellular signaling, energy metabolism, and other cellular activities involving membrane curvature, fluidity, fusion or fission. Glia are critical in the development, health, and function of the brain, and glial regulation plays a major role in disease.

Acenaphthylene-fused heteroarenes with a variety of five- and six-membered heterocycles such as thiophene, furan, benzofuran, pyrazole, pyridine and pyrimidine were synthesized via an efficient Pd-catalyzed reaction cascade in good to high yields (45-90%). This cascade involves an initial Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction between 1,8-dihalonaphthalenes and heteroarylboronic acids or esters, followed by an intramolecular C-H arylation under the same conditions to yield the final heterocyclic fluoranthene analogues. The method was further employed to access polyoxygenated benzo[]fluoranthenes, which are all structurally relevant to benzo[]fluoranthene-based fungal natural products.

Artatrovirenols A and B are two newly isolated sesquiterpenoids with a complex caged framework. We report herein a concise synthesis of artatrovirenols A and B in 9 and 8 steps, respectively. The complex caged tetracycle is rapidly constructed from a known planar guaiane-type precursor through a bioinspired intramolecular [4 + 2] cyclization to firstly access artatrovirenol B, which is further transformed into artatrovirenol A through a biomimetic epoxidation-mediated lactonization reaction.
