The tetrafluoro-λ-sulfanyl (SF) moiety has been relatively undeveloped since its discovery in the 1970s. In this study, we synthesized pyridine-SF-isoxazolines, in which the two heterocycles are connected by a rodlike -SF linker, via the regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of pyridine-SF-alkynes and nitrones in the presence of triethylamine. SF linkers are a viable alternative to para-substituted benzenes, alkynes, and bicyclo[1.1.1]pentyl derivatives in drug design, and pyridine-SF-isoxazolines have potential applications in drug development.

Eccentric contraction- (ECC) induced force loss is a hallmark of murine dystrophin-deficient (mdx) skeletal muscle that is used to assess efficacy of potential therapies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. While virtually all key proteins involved in muscle contraction have been implicated in ECC force loss, a unifying mechanism that orchestrates force loss across such diverse molecular targets has not been identified. We showed that correcting defective hydrogen sulfide (H2S) signaling in mdx muscle prevented ECC force loss.

Lysine demethylases (KDMs) catalyze the oxidative removal of the methyl group from histones using earth-abundant iron and the metabolite 2-oxoglutarate (2OG). KDMs have emerged as master regulators of eukaryotic gene expression and are novel drug targets; small-molecule inhibitors of KDMs are in the clinical pipeline for the treatment of human cancer. Yet, mechanistic insights into the functional heterogeneity of human KDMs are limited, necessitating the development of chemical probes for precision targeting.
