The total synthesis of (-)-omuralide, a potent specific proteasome inhibitor, has been achieved through an unprecedented route. The C3 and C4 chiral centers of the natural product have been selectively installed by an asymmetric [2 + 2]-cycloaddition between an unusual oxadisilinane ketene and a chiral enol ether, while the γ-lactam core was prepared by a single-pot two-step Beckmann transposition. The C5 quaternary center was eventually defined by an original selective oxidative desymmetrization of a spiro cyclic oxadisilinane thanks to the anchimeric assistance of a proximal hydroxyl group.

Drought stress dynamically reprograms specialised metabolism in medicinal plants. However, the transcriptional regulatory modules governing stress-adaptive metabolite synthesis remain poorly characterised. Here, we identified SbMYB8 as a drought-responsive transcription factor showing nuclear localisation and dose-dependent induction under drought in Scutellaria baicalensis.

Background: Migraine pathophysiology involves a constellation of metabolic abnormalities. These interlinked contributory factors include mitochondrial dysfunction, an altered gut microbiome, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, weight imbalance, and altered glucose metabolism. The ketogenic diet is an emerging therapy which may restore hypometabolism seen in chronic migraine.

Human skeletal muscle comprises slow-twitch (type I) and fast-twitch (type II) fibers. Fiber type-specific analyses often require manual isolation of fibers, necessitating effective tissue preservation. While freeze-drying remains the standard, alternative preservation methods such as RNAlater and RNAlater-ICE are increasingly used.

This study investigated the effects of fermentable fiber and polyphenol supplementation on mood and cognition following rapid ascent to simulated 4300 m. Healthy adults (n = 13, 21 ± 3 years) participated in a randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study consisting of three, 2-week phases separated by ≥1 week. Food products containing the fiber and polyphenol supplement or placebo were consumed during each phase.
