Herein we report the enantioselective synthesis of 3-allyl-3-hydroxyoxindoles, a core scaffold in a wide range of bioactive molecules, using a Lewis-base catalyst and readily abundant and inexpensive allyltrichlorosilane. This transition-metal-free protocol employs relatively low catalyst loadings of a privileged bispyrrolidine-type scaffold to achieve high yields and enantioselectivities (up to 98% yield and 98:2 er). The total syntheses of the natural products (-)-flustraminol B and (-)-chimonamidine were also successfully carried out using our newly developed method as a key step, highlighting the potential of this method for the efficient and precise synthesis of complex natural products.

Multidrug resistance (MDR) infectious wounds are a major concern due to drug resistance, leading to increased patient morbidity. Lichenysin (LCN), a lipopeptide and biosurfactant obtained from certain strains of , has demonstrated an excellent antimicrobial property. The present study focuses on the fabrication and comprehensive evaluation of LCN-incorporated poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/polycaprolactone (PCL)-based nanofiber scaffolds using an electrospinning technique as a potential wound healing biomaterial for the treatment of MDR infectious wounds in diabetic rats.

The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris (also known as Komagataella pastoris) is an ideal host for producing proteins and natural products. Enhancing homologous recombination (HR) is helpful for improving the precision of genome editing, but results in stress to cellular fitness and is harmful for industrial applications. To overcome these challenges, we developed a tetracycline repressor protein (TetR)/tetO2 inducible system to dynamically regulate the HR-related gene RAD52 in P.

Background: Herbal medicines and their preparations play a significant role in healthcare systems, yet concerns remain about their quality consistency. Chemical fingerprinting and multi-component quantitative analysis are the commonly used analytical methods and are widely applied in the quality analysis of herbal medicines. The study uses Gegen Qinlian tablets (GQTs) as a case to propose a comprehensive quality consistency evaluation system.
