In this work, the catalyst-free multicomponent polymerizations of diisocyanides, ,'-dimethylbarbituric acid, and dialdehyde for highly substituted poly(furopyrimidine)s has been achieved. All the experimental conditions such as polymerization solvents, temperature and time were investigated in detail. Through the systematic optimization of the polymerization conditions, the obtained polymers could have molecular weights of up to 16 400 g mol, and excellent yields (up to 84%) can be achieved. All the polymers were well characterized by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The thermal properties of the polymers were investigated and the decomposition temperature ( , 5%) was 277 °C.

The serine/threonine kinase CK2 (formerly known as casein kinase II) plays a crucial role in various CNS disorders and is highly expressed in various types of cancer. Therefore, inhibiting this key kinase could be promising for the treatment of these diseases. The CK2 holoenzyme is formed by the recruitment of two catalytically active CK2α and/or CK2α' subunits by a regulatory CK2β dimer.

YKL-40 is structurally similar to chitotriosidase (CHIT1), an active chitinase, but it lacks chitin-degrading activity while retaining chitin-binding capability. Elevated YKL-40 levels are associated with inflammatory diseases and cancers, making it a valuable biomarker. We previously reported that the W69T substitution in YKL-40 significantly reduces its chitin-binding affinity, identifying W69 as a crucial binding site.

Article Synopsis
- A new water-soluble silsesquioxane precursor called DEA-GSQ was created by reacting diethanolamine with a glycidyloxypropyl silsesquioxane.
- The resulting hybrid aerogels, formed by crosslinking DEA-GSQ with chitosan, were thoroughly characterized through various analytical techniques.
- These hybrid aerogels exhibit a high capacity for adsorbing Au(III) ions, efficiently reducing them to Au(0), and have potential for practical applications in metal adsorption devices.
Evaluation of Larger Side-Group Functionalities and the Side/End-Group Interplay in Ritonavir-Like Inhibitors of CYP3A4.

A new series of 13 ritonavir-like inhibitors of human drug-metabolizing CYP3A4 was rationally designed to study the R side-group and R end-group interplay when the R side-group is represented by phenyl. Spectral, functional, and structural characterization showed no improvement in the binding affinity and inhibitory potency of R/R-phenyl inhibitors upon elongation and/or fluorination of R-Boc (tert-butyloxycarbonyl) or its replacement with benzenesulfonyl. When R is pyridine, the impact of R-phenyl-to-indole/naphthalene substitution was multidirectional and highly dependent on side-group stereo configuration.

Far-red phosphors have emerged as a desirable research hotspot owing to their critical role in promoting plant growth. Especially, Eu ions typically present the D→F (J = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) transitions, which overlap with the far-red light required for plant photosynthesis. However, achieving high-efficiency far-red emission of Eu remains challenging due to weak D→F transition and concentration quenching.
