Gold-catalyzed synthesis of decorated indoles has been developed through carbene insertion into N-H bonds of -allyl-2-(aryl/alkyl ethynyl)anilines using α-diazo compounds followed by cyclization and concomitant 1,3 migration of allyl fragments. The developed protocol tackles the inherited challenge of direct C3 functionalization and eliminates the need for a tertiary aniline precursor for the 1,3-migration reaction. The applicability of this transformation is showcased through the practical synthesis of analogs of small drug-like and pharmaceutically relevant molecules such as ibuprofen, estradiol, menthol, and borneol, The mechanism is well supported by control experiments and isolation of the reaction intermediate.

Background: Applying organic amendments to vineyard soil improves soil properties and vine development by increasing soil water retention and nutrient content. However, little is known about how organic mulches modify grapevine phenolic composition. This study analysed the phenolic profile in the leaves, canes, and grape skins of Tempranillo over 3 years in two vineyard locations with three organic mulches: spent mushroom compost (SMC), grapevine pruning debris (GPD) and straw (STR), as well as two conventional soil practices: herbicide (HERB) and tillage (TILL).

The discovery of novel, selective inhibitors targeting CDK2 and PIM1 kinases, which regulate cell survival, proliferation, and treatment resistance, is crucial for advancing cancer therapy. This study reports the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of three novel pyrazolo[3,4-]pyridine derivatives (), confirmed spectral analyses. These compounds were assessed for anti-cancer activity against breast, colon, liver, and cervical cancers using the MTT assay.

Introduction: Pine needles are a rich source of bioactive compounds, and there are few reports on the extraction and identification of active substances in various types of pine needles.
Objectives: The objective of this study is to enhance the efficiency and yield of pine needle essential oil extraction by employing an innovative ultrasonic-assisted salt-out hydrodistillation technology. It also aims to establish a correlation between gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and electronic nose (E-nose) to distinguish essential oils from Cedrus deodara, Pinus thunbergii, Pinus massoniana, and Pinus koraiensis.
3,5-Disubstituted pyrazoline as a promising core for anticancer agents: mechanisms of action and therapeutic potentials.

The rapidly growing interest in the literature about the anticancer activity of 3,5-disubstituted pyrazolines and their promising therapeutic potentials/pharmacological properties, supported by the number of pyrazoline derivatives currently in clinical use or clinical trials, encouraged us to review the antiproliferative effects and biochemical investigations of probable mechanisms of action. Nevertheless, many reported pyrazoline-bearing compounds have anticancer activity without an explored mode of action, which opens new research avenues to examine their biochemical profiles further. Therefore, 3,5-disubstituted pyrazoline is a promising core that can be used to design new derivatives with anticancer activity based on the structure-activity relationship summarized in this review to obtain higher potency and selectivity.
