We report a one-pot two-step synthesis of a bioactive 6-amino-2-pyridone-3,5-dicarbonitrile derivative using natural product catalysts betaine and guanidine carbonate. Anti-cancer bioactivity was observed in specific molecules within the library of 16 derivatives. Out of the compounds, 5o had the most potent anti-cancer activity against glioblastoma cells and was selected for further study. Compound 5o showed anti-cancer properties against liver, breast, lung cancers as well as primary patient-derived glioblastoma cell lines. Furthermore, 5o in combination with specific clinically relevant small molecule inhibitors induced enhanced cytotoxicity in glioblastoma cells. Through our current work, we establish a promising 6-amino-2-pyridone-3,5-dicarbonitrile based lead compound with anti-cancer activity either on its own or in combination with specific clinically relevant small molecule kinase and proteasome inhibitors.

The radiotracer [F]JK-PSMA-7, a prostate cancer imaging agent for positron emission tomography (PET), was previously synthesized by indirect radiofluorination using an F-labeled active ester as a prosthetic group, which had to be isolated and purified before it could be linked to the pharmacologically active Lys-urea-Glu motif. Although this procedure could be automated on two-reactor modules like the GE TRACERLab FX2N (FXN) to afford the tracer in modest radiochemical yields (RCY) of 18-25%, it is unsuitable for cassette-based systems with a single reactor. To simplify implementation on an automated synthesis module, the radiosynthesis of [F]JK-PSMA-7 was devised as a one-pot, two-step reaction.

A straightforward I2-promoted Povarov multicomponent reaction strategy for the synthesis of N-heteroaromatic benzothiazole and 2, 2'-biquinolines was described. This methodology involved a one-pot two-step procedure, tandem iodination/Kornblum oxidation, and [4 + 2] condensation. This protocol was characterized by broad scope of substrates (49 examples, 31-80% yields), applicable for large-scale preparation, and downstream derivatization of the product.

Liquid Crystalline Networks (LCNs) are widely investigated to develop actuators, from soft robots to artificial muscles. Indeed, they can produce forces and movements in response to a plethora of external stimuli, showing kinetics up to the millisecond time-scale. One of the most explored preparation technique involves the photopolymerization of an aligned layer of reactive mesogens.

-succinimidyl-[F]fluorobenzoate ([F]SFB) is commonly prepared through a three-step procedure starting from [F]fluoride ion. A number of methods for the single-step radiosynthesis of [F]SFB have been introduced recently, including the radiofluorination of diaryliodonium salts and the Cu-mediated F-fluorination of pinacol aryl boronates and aryl tributyl stannanes, but they still have the drawbacks of lengthy product purification procedures. In the present work, two approaches for the direct labeling of [F]SFB from diaryliodonium (DAI) salt () and pinacol aryl boronate () are evaluated, with a major focus on developing a fast and simple SPE-based purification procedure.
