The poorly understood factors controlling the reactivity and selectivity (both stereo- and enantioselectivity) of catalyzed Diels-Alder reactions involving cyclobutenones as dienophiles have been analyzed in detail by means of Density Functional Theory calculations. To this end, the reactions with cyclopentadiene and furan as dienes and 3-(methoxycarbonyl)cyclobutenone catalyzed by Corey's chiral oxazaborolidium ion (COBI) have been selected and compared to their analogous uncatalyzed transformations. The combined Activation Strain Model of reactivity and Energy Decomposition Analysis methods have been used to quantitatively understand the acceleration and selectivity induced by the catalyst in this reaction.

Chitinase 3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1) is emerging as a promising biomarker for assessing intracranial lesion burden and predicting prognosis in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. Following experimental TBI, Chi3l1 transcripts were detected in reactive astrocytes located within the pericontusional cortex. However, the cellular sources of CHI3L1 in response to hemorrhagic contusions in human brain remain unidentified.

Unveiling cross-reactivity: implications for immune response modulation in cancer.

Antigen recognition by CD8+ T-cell receptors (TCR) is crucial for immune responses to pathogens and tumors. TCRs are cross-reactive, a single TCR can recognize multiple peptide-Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) complexes. The study of cross-reactivity can support the development of therapies focusing on immune modulation, such as the expansion of pre-existing T-cell clones to fight pathogens and tumors.

The manuscript describes the development of an efficient synthetic route to cinnolines, facilitating faster access to JNJ-8003 related Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) non-nucleoside (NNI) inhibitors. Starting from correctly functionalized aryl halides, a Sonogashira reaction followed by SNAr reaction with hydrazine 1,2-dicabroxylate reagents provided dihydrocinnolines directly via in situ 6-endo-dig cyclization. The dihydrocinnolines were conveniently transformed to corresponding cinnolines in one step.

The introduction of fluorine into organic molecules is of the utmost importance in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). While a wide range of fluorine sources for organic synthesis have been used over the past decades, the associated safety risks, cost, or environmental impact are still serious limitations. Hexafluorosilicate salts are one of the most inexpensive and readily available sources of nucleophilic fluorine, but they have so far not been used in organic synthesis.
