Published: August 2023

Cryptolaevilactones (CLs) A-L, found in the leaves and twigs of Cryptocarya laevigata, are unique natural meroterpenoids with a spiro[3.5]nonane skeleton. We report the total synthesis of a simplified model compound of CLs A-C. The synthetic route included introduction of a styryl group and coupling of a lactone moiety to a spiro ring system, which was constructed by a pinacol-like rearrangement.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease, and inflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of COPD. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between systemic immune inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI),pan-immune inflammation value (PIV), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and all-cause mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and to evaluate the effect of composite inflammatory markers on the prognosis of COPD patients. We obtained data on COPD patients from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) -IV database and divided patients into four groups based on quartiles of baseline levels of inflammatory markers, The primary outcomes were in-hospital and ICU mortality.

The Notch intracellular domain (NICD) regulates gene expression during development and homeostasis in a transcription factor complex that binds DNA either as monomer, or cooperatively as dimers. Mice expressing Notch dimerization-deficient (NDD) alleles of Notch1 and Notch2 have defects in multiple tissues that are sensitized to environmental insults. Here, we report that cardiac phenotypes and DSS (Dextran Sodium Sulfate) sensitivity in NDD mice can be ameliorated by housing mice under hypo-allergenic conditions (food/bedding).

Previous research indicates that the COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed alterations in behaviors that may impact exposures to environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals. This includes changes in the use of chemicals found in consumer products, food packaging, and exposure to air pollutants. Within the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) program, a national consortium initiated to understand the effects of environmental exposures on child health and development, our objective was to assess whether urinary concentrations of a wide range of potential endocrine-disrupting chemicals varied before and during the pandemic.

Protocol to generate dual-target compounds using a transformer chemical language model.

Electronic address:

Here, we present a protocol to generate dual-target compounds (DT-CPDs) interacting with two distinct target proteins using a transformer-based chemical language model. We describe steps for installing software, preparing data, and pre-training the model on pairs of single-target compounds (ST-CPDs), which bind to an individual protein, and DT-CPDs. We then detail procedures for assembling ST- and corresponding DT-CPD data for specific protein pairs and evaluating the model's performance on hold-out test sets.
