An organophotoredox-catalyzed 1,7-enyne bicyclization for the cis-diastereoselective synthesis of ester-substituted phenanthridinones has been achieved through radical cascade cyclization involving 1,6-hydrogen atom transfer. This transition-metal- and oxidant-free one-pot protocol generates three distinct C-C bonds and two quaternary carbon centers.

Over the past two decades, small molecules bearing [5,6]-bicyclic nitrogen-containing cores have emerged as one of the most extensively studied structures for the development of selective c-MET kinase inhibitors. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies have demonstrated that modifying these cores can significantly impact the biological properties of c-MET inhibitors, including safety/toxicity, potency, and metabolic stability. For example, although c-MET kinase inhibitors containing the [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4]triazine scaffold (core P) exhibit high inhibitory potency, they often face challenges due to metabolic stability defects.

Transpeptidases are specialized enzymes that have evolved for site-selective modification of peptides and proteins at their backbone termini. Approaches for adapting transpeptidases to catalyze side chain modifications are substantially more restricted, and typically rely on large recognition tags or require specific reaction conditions that are not easily compatible with broader applications. Here we show that the engineered asparaginyl ligase AEP1 catalyzes direct isopeptide ligation by accepting an internal 2,3-diaminopropionic acid (Dap) residue adjacent to Leu, a motif that mimics the canonical N-terminal Gly-Leu substrate.

RET receptor tyrosine kinase is crucial for nerve and tissue development but can be an important oncogenic driver. This study focuses on exploring the design principles of potent RET inhibitors through molecular docking and 3D-QSAR modeling of 5,6-fused bicyclic heteroaromatic derivatives. First of all, RET inhibitors of 49 different bicyclic substructures were collected from five different data sources and selected through molecular docking simulations.

We report a continuous flow approach generating bicyclic cyclobutanes from unactivated alkenes in a metal-free manner that is inspired by the Kochi-Salomon reaction. A filtered Hg-lamp in combination with a simple flow set-up and acetone as UV light-absorbing co-solvent are crucial for this method thus showcasing attractive features for further exploitations.
