Article Abstract

Membraneless condensates have recently caught the attention of biologists as hubs for cellular components required for catalysis of basic processes. Whether they are real has become the center of heated discussion where the main issues are their mechanism of assembly and function. A recent study describing these condensates as hubs for protein degradation by the ubiquitin system may shed a new light on this recent development in cell biology.

Additive-controlled chemodivergent multi-component domino reaction between salicylaldehydes and Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) carbonates.

Chem Commun (Camb)

An unexpected additive-controlled chemodivergent multi-component domino reaction of salicylaldehydes with MBH carbonates has been skillfully developed. Interestingly, acid additives regulate the reaction to form functionalized cyclohexenes or natural coumarin derivatives. Notably, the coumarins were produced a novel phosphine-mediated α-umpolung/Wittig olefination/cycloaddition/lactonization/elimination cascade.

A one-pot synthesis of the pyrazolo[3,4-]pyrrolo[3,4-]pyridin-6-one skeleton has been developed using aryl methyl ketones, 3-aminopyrazoles, and enaminamides as substrates. This method features metal-free catalysis and broad substrate compatibility (36 examples). The reaction involves the formation of two C-C and two C-N bonds, while constructing a tetrasubstituted carbon stereocenter bearing a reactive hydroxyl group.

A one-pot synthetic methodology that combines an Ugi-Zhu three-component reaction (UZ-3CR) with a cascade sequence (intermolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition/intramolecular -acylation/decarboxylation/dehydration) using microwave-heating conditions, ytterbium (III) triflate (Yb(OTf)) as the catalyst, and chlorobenzene (for the first time in a multi-component reaction (MCR)) as the solvent, was developed to synthesize twelve new fluorinated-pyrrolo[3,4-]pyridin-5-ones containing a 4-amino-7-chloroquinoline moiety, yielding 50-77% in 95 min per product, with associated atom economies around 88%, also per product. Additionally, by in vitro tests, compounds and were found to effectively stop early SARS-CoV-2 replication, IC = 6.74 µM and 5.

Granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM), a clinically challenging inflammatory breast disease, is characterized by a high recurrence rate, strong invasiveness, and a trend of affecting younger individuals, posing significant challenges to patients and clinical practitioners. Its pathological processes involve the abnormal activation of multiple signaling pathways, including NF-κB, NLRP3, JAK/STAT, TLR, MAPK, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, and Nrf2/HO-1. These pathways contribute to the disease's onset and progression by regulating inflammatory responses, immune reactions, and oxidative stress.
