Microwave-assisted protocols have become extensively accepted across various scientific and technological domains because of their numerous advantages, shorter reaction times, higher yields, and often milder reaction conditions. In this review, we focus on the synthesis of N, O, and S-containing heterocyclic structural cores, crucial in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science following through conventional and microwave method via eliminating the side products and enhances the product yield that is nowadays the biggest barrier for a synthetic chemist. The major findings emphasizes the substantial advantages of microwave-assisted techniques over conventional synthetic protocols. This comparative study underscores the potential of microwave-assisted techniques to revolutionize heterocyclic compound synthesis, providing insights into optimizing reaction conditions and expanding the scope of chemical synthesis in industrial applications.

We present a versatile palladium-catalyzed glycosylation platform that enables facile access to structurally diverse N-O-linked glycosides with constantly excellent regio- and stereoselectivities. Importantly, this approach offers a broad substrate scope, low catalyst loadings, and outstanding chemoselectivity, allowing for the selective reaction of oximes/hydroximic acids over hydroxyl groups that would otherwise pose challenges in conventional glycosylation methods. The synthetic utility of this method is further exemplified through a range of synthetic transformations and late-stage modification of bioactive molecules.

The fusion expression of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication-related proteins with nucleotide deaminase enzymes promotes random mutations in bacterial genomes, thereby increasing genetic diversity among the population. Most previous studies have focused on cytosine deaminase, which produces only C → T mutations, significantly limiting the variety of mutation types. In this study, we developed a fusion expression system by combining DnaG (RNA primase) with adenine deaminase TadA-8e (DnaG-TadA) in , which is capable of rapidly introducing A → G mutations into the genome, resulting in a 664-fold increase in terms of mutation rate.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have significantly improved cancer treatment outcomes but are associated with immune-related adverse events (irAEs), such as inflammatory arthritis (ir-IA). Management of ir-IA is evolving, with corticosteroids as the primary treatment, though some cases require steroid-sparing agents.
Aims: This study aimed to compare initial mean prednisolone doses and disease persistence over 12 months in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-like ir-IA managed by rheumatologists or oncologists.
Background: Subtle cognitive decline in the prodromal stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD), encompassing both significant memory concerns (SMC) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), presents a crucial diagnostic hurdle. This challenge stems from the inherent difficulty in both detecting the nuanced neurocognitive aberrations and visualizing the corresponding brain alterations, particularly within the hippocampus, on conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Consequently, current clinical diagnostic procedures remain arduous and necessitate substantial clinical expertise.

The biological formation of nitrogen-nitrogen (N-N) bonds represents intriguing reactions that have attracted much attention in the past decade. This interest has led to an increasing number of N-N bond-containing natural products (NPs) and related enzymes that catalyze their formation (referred to in this review as NNzymes) being elucidated and studied in greater detail. While more detailed information on the biosynthesis of N-N bond-containing NPs, which has only become available in recent years, provides an unprecedented source of biosynthetic enzymes, their potential for biocatalytic applications has been minimally explored.
