A series of heterocyclic ring-fused derivatives of bisnoralcohol (BA) were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory effects on RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis. Most of these derivatives possessed potent antiosteoporosis activities in a dose-dependent manner. Among these compounds, (SH442, IC = 0.052 μM) exhibited the highest potency, displaying 100% inhibition at 1.0 μM and 82.8% inhibition at an even lower concentration of 0.1 μM, which was much more potent than the lead compound BA (IC = 2.325 μM). Cytotoxicity tests suggested that the inhibitory effect of these compounds on RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation did not result from their cytotoxicity. Mechanistic studies revealed that SH442 inhibited the expression of osteoclastogenesis-related marker genes and proteins, including TRAP, TRAF6, c-Fos, CTSK, and MMP9. Especially, SH442 could significantly attenuate bone loss of ovariectomy mouse . Therefore, these BA derivatives could be used as promising leads for the development of a new type of antiosteoporosis agent.

Mannich-Type Condensation and Domino Quinazolinone-Amidine Rearrangement Affords Ring-Fused Mackinazolinones with Anti-Amoebic Activity.
Adv Synth Catal

Department of Chemistry, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, Wisconsin, 53706, United States.
A three-step synthesis of anti-amoebic, ring-fused mackinazolinones has been developed. A Mannich-type reaction between quinazolin-4-ones and -Cbz propanal in the presence of AgOTf afforded quinazolinones (19-94% isolated yield) bearing a newly formed heterocycle with an alkylamine appendage that, upon -Cbz deprotection and basification, triggered a domino rearrangement to afford 45 separable, ring-fused products. Several compounds inhibited growth of parasites that can cause a lethal human brain infection.

Article Synopsis
- Renal and bladder cancers are common in men, with expected increases in incidence and mortality, while challenges like drug toxicity and resistance hinder effective treatments.
- Chromenes, which are compounds linked to a benzene and pyran ring, show potential as anticancer agents and may help re-sensitize cancer cells to existing treatments.
- A systematic review of studies indicates that chromene-based compounds significantly reduce cancer cell viability and tumor size, suggesting they could be promising candidates for future therapies in renal and bladder cancers.

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections are becoming a life-threatening issue in public health; therefore, it is urgent to develop novel antibacterial agents for treating infections caused by MDR bacteria. The 20(S)-protopanaxadiol (PPD) derivative 9 was identified as a novel antibacterial hit compound in screening of our small synthetic natural product-like (NPL) library. A series of novel PPD derivatives with heterocyclic rings fused at the C-2 and C-3 positions of the A-ring were synthesized and their antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus (S.
