AI Article Synopsis

  • A new method is introduced for creating 3'-fluorinated nucleoside analogues using aminocatalytic fluorination of 2'-ketonucleosides that are easy to handle.
  • The technique was initially aimed at producing 3'-fluoroguanosine (3'-FG), a component of the anticancer drug MK-1454, but has since been adapted to develop various 3'-fluoronucleosides.
  • This approach highlights the potential of 2'-ketonucleosides as a versatile foundation for further innovation in nucleoside analogues, suggesting broad applications in drug discovery.

Article Abstract

Herein, we present a strategy for the preparation of 3'-fluorinated nucleoside analogues the aminocatalytic, electrophilic fluorination of readily accessible and bench-stable 2'-ketonucleosides. Initially developed to facilitate the manufacture of 3'-fluoroguanosine (3'-FG)─a substructure of anticancer therapeutic MK-1454─this strategy has been extended to the synthesis of a variety of 3'-fluoronucleosides. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of the 2'-ketonucleoside synthon as a platform for further diversification and suggest that this methodology should be broadly applicable to the discovery of novel nucleoside analogues.

Although promising, dendritic cell (DC) vaccines may not suffice to fully inhibit tumor progression alone, mainly due to the short expression time of the antigen in DC vaccines, immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, and tumor antigenic modulation. Overcoming the limitations of DC vaccines is expected to further enhance their anti-tumor effects. In this study, we constructed a circRNA-loaded DC vaccine utilizing the inherent stability of circular RNA to enhance the expression level and duration of the antigen within the DC vaccine.

Background: Parkinson's disease is a hypokinetic disorder characterized by selective loss of dopaminergic in substantia nigra pars compacta (SNPc) region of mid-brain. Dopaminergic degeneration of neurons is considered to be due to oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, neurons mitochondrial dysfunction and glutamate excitotoxicity etc. Inosine a purine nucleoside has been reported to produce anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuromodulatory actions in previous studies.

Wilms tumor 1-associated protein (WTAP) has been validated to be a crucial regulator in the tumorigenesis and advancement of diverse malignancies. This study intended to probe the impacts of WTAP on colorectal cancer (CRC) progression from the perspective of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification. The differential expression patterns of WTAP in clinical CRC samples and cultured cell lines were validated via qRT-PCR and western blot.
