EGFR inhibitors are a class of targeted therapies utilized in the management of certain tumor kinds such as NSCLC and breast cancer. Series of 1,2,3-triazole-Schiff's base hybrids were designed, synthesized, and estimated for their antitumor effect toward breast cancer cells, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. The safety and selectivity of the new compounds were tested using normal cell (WI-38).

Iron regulatory protein 2 (IRP2), a post-transcriptional regulator of cellular iron metabolism has been associated with susceptibility to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Resistive breathing (RB) is the hallmark of the pathophysiology of obstructive airway diseases, especially during exacerbations, where increased mechanical stress is imposed on the lung. We have previously shown that RB, through tracheal banding, mimicking severe airway obstruction, induces pulmonary inflammation and injury in previously healthy mice.

Photoredox/Nickel Dual-Catalytic Asymmetric Silylarylation of Alkenes.

Org Lett

January 2025

Shanghai Frontiers Science Center of Optogenetic Techniques for Cell Metabolism, Shanghai Key Laboratory of New Drug Design, and School of Pharmacy, East China University of Science and Technology, Shanghai 200237, P. R. China.

The efficient construction of chiral aryl-containing organosilicon frameworks via catalytic enantioselective three-component silylarylation of alkenes remains a great challenge. Herein, a photoredox/nickel dual-catalytic asymmetric protocol has been disclosed by using a chiral biimidazoline (BiIM) as the ligand, silylboranes as the silyl radical precursors, aryl bromides as the coupling partners, and morpholine as the promoter. Remarkably, the reaction features mild and green conditions, high reaction efficiency, and excellent enantioselectivity, enabling the facile synthesis of valuable chiral tropic acid and sila-isoflavanone structures.

Sugarcane Pan-Transcriptome Identifying a Master Gene Regulating Lignin and Sugar Traits.

J Agric Food Chem

January 2025

State Key Laboratory for Conservation and Utilization of Subtropical Agro-Bioresources, Guangxi University, Nanning 530005, China.

Sugarcane has the most complex polyploid genome in the world, and sugar-related traits are one of the most important aims in sugarcane breeding. It is essential to construct a representative pan-transcriptome that contains all transcripts of a species for studies on genetic diversity, population expression, and omics analyses in sugarcane. In this study, we constructed the first comprehensive pan-transcriptome for sugarcane, and 8434 highly reliable open reading frames were found, which were not aligned with any published sugarcane genome.
