The piperidine-based Takemoto catalyst has been successfully employed in a novel asymmetric transfer hydroxymethylation of activated isoindolinones, allowing us to prepare the enantioenriched hydroxymethylated adducts in good to excellent yields (48-96%) and enantiopurities (81:19-97:3 e.r.). To increase the reaction rate without compromising the selectivity, carefully optimized formaldehyde surrogates were employed, providing a convenient source of anhydrous formaldehyde with a base-triggered release. The substrate scope, including 34 entries, showed the considerable generality of the asymmetric transformation, and most entries exhibited complete conversions in 24-48 h. A scale-up experiment and multiple enantioselective downstream transformations were also carried out, suggesting the prospective synthetic utility of the products.

This study explores the deoxygenation of pyridine -oxides and presents a one-step photoredox method for the direct synthesis of 2-hydroxymethylated pyridines from pyridine -oxides. Mechanism studies elucidate the role of the catalyst and provide evidence of the possible electron transfer process and the formation of key radicals. A range of pyridine derivatives, particularly 2-hydroxymethyl-substituted pyridines, which may be difficult to obtain, can be synthesized in a single step.

Introduction: Epidemiological evidences reveal that populations with psychological stress have an increased likelihood of respiratory viral infection involving influenza A virus (IAV) and SARS-CoV-2.
Objectives: This study aims to explore the potential correlation between psychological stress and increased susceptibility to respiratory viral infections and how this may contribute to a more severe disease progression.
Methods: A chronic restraint stress (CRS) mouse model was used to infect IAV and estimate lung inflammation.

Global hypomethylation and promoter hypermethylation of tumor-suppressor genes are the hallmarks of cancer. We previously reported a global DNA methylation level sensing system based on dual-color bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) using methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD)-fused firefly luciferase (Fluc) and unmethyl-CpG binding domain (CXXC)-fused luciferase (Oluc). Moreover, BRET-based hydroxymethylation and hemi-methylation level sensing systems have been developed using hydroxymethyl-CpG and hemi-methyl-CpG binding domain-fused Fluc.

5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) modification is a key epigenetic regulator of cellular processes in mammalian cells, and its misregulation may lead to various diseases. Herein, we develop a hydroxymethylation-specific ligation-mediated single quantum dot (QD)-based fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) nanosensor for sensitive quantification of 5hmC modification in cancer cells. We design a Cy5-modified signal probe and a biotinylated capture probe for the recognition of specific 5hmC-containing genes.
