Mitochondrial metabolism in laryngeal cancer: therapeutic mechanisms and prospects.

Tumours reprogram pathways that regulate nutrient uptake and metabolism to meet the biosynthetic, bioenergetic, and redox requirements of cancer cells. This phenomenon is known as metabolic reprogramming and is edited by the deletion of oncogenes and the activation of proto-oncogenes. This article highlights the pathological mechanisms associated with metabolic reprogramming in laryngeal cancer (LC), including enhanced glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle, nucleotide synthesis, lipid synthesis and metabolism, and amino acid metabolism, with a special emphasis on glutamine, tryptophan, and arginine metabolism.

Eight-Membered Palladacycle Intermediate Enabled Synthesis of Cyclic Biarylphosphonates.

Transition-metal-catalyzed coupling reactions that involve the direct functionalization of insert C-H bond represent one of the most efficient strategies for forming carbon-carbon bonds. Herein, a palladium-catalyzed intramolecular C-H bond arylation of triaryl phosphates is reported to access seven-membered cyclic biarylphosphonate targets. The reaction is achieved via a unique eight-membered palladacyclic intermediate and shows good functional group compatibility.
