An unprecedented tandem trifluoromethylsilylation/intramolecular S2 substitution sequence was realized by using bifunctional reagent Me(CHCl)SiCF, allowing efficient construction of valuable trifluoromethylated oxasilacyclohexanes that are difficult to access by known methods. Initial attempts into developing asymmetric variant reveal that using cinchonine-derived dimeric PTC catalyst could afford chiral oxasilacyclohexanes in up to 92% enantiomeric excess.

Background: Dysregulated GABA/somatostatin (SST) signaling has been implicated in psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. The inhibition of excitatory neurons by SST+ interneurons, particularly through α5-containing GABAA receptors (α5-GABAAR), plays a crucial role in mitigating cognitive functions. Previous research demonstrated that an α5-positive allosteric modulator (α5-PAM) mitigates working memory deficits and reverses neuronal atrophy in aged mice.

Background: Cilostazol, a selective type-3 phosphodiesterase inhibitor, ameliorates β-amyloid accumulation by facilitating intramural periarterial drainage.
Method: Patients with mild cognitive impairment were registered in the COMCID study, an investigator-initiated, double-blinded, multi-center, phase-II clinical trial. The primary endpoint was the Mini-Mental State Examination score.

Background: Brain organoid models were generated from healthy control or Alzheimer's disease patient iPSCs to facilitate our understanding of AD pathogenesis.
Method: ApoE3 and ApoE4 iPSCs were developed into brain organoids using our recently developed brain organoid platform that allows prolonged culture of brain organoids. Human iPSCs were also differentiated into microglia, which were then co-cultured with brain organoids.

Background: Alzheimer's and related disorders (ADRD) represent a range of neurodegenerative conditions characterized by abnormal protein deposits in the brain. Despite advances, there is a need for enhanced diagnostic and treatment approaches that acknowledge the diversity of ADRD. This project introduces the Alzheimer's and Related Disorders Multicenter Archive (ARMA), a collaborative platform with an advanced Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system linked to Electronic Medical Records (EMR) designed to refine ADRD diagnosis and natural history understanding, thus informing precision medicine.
