Formal 1,3-migration of hydroxy and acyloxy groups initiated by α-imino rhodium carbene was achieved, and the following selective annulations of the corresponding zwitterions could efficiently afford azepane derivatives. Benefiting from a time-saving procedure as well as a good functional group tolerance, this unique migration-annulation protocol could provide an efficient tool for synthesizing seven-membered -heterocycles. The plausible mechanism is discussed.

Taxol and Abraxane, the US Food and Drug Administration-approved paclitaxel (PTX) formulations, have revealed hypersensitivity due to excipients and mediocre efficacy due to insufficient tumor penetration, respectively. Here we developed a sphingolipid-derived PTX nanovesicle (paclitaxome) via covalently conjugating PTX to sphingomyelin, which improved pharmacokinetics and enhanced efficacy in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer and pancreatic cancer female mice and reduced myelosuppression. To bolster tumor penetration and reduce phagocytosis, we engineered a cationization-enabled transcytosis machinery by installing an ultra-pH-sensitive azepane (AZE) probe into paclitaxome and masked nanovesicle surface with a CD47 'self' peptide (CD47p).

Blocking the C-X-C motif chemokine ligand-12/C-X-C motif chemokine receptor-4 (CXCL12/CXCR4) signal offers the potential to induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) and enhance immunotherapy of glioblastoma (GBM). However, traditional intracellular targeted delivery strategies and adenosine-mediated tumor immunosuppression limit its therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we present an acidity-triggered self-assembly nanoplatform based on bioorthogonal reaction to potentiate GBM immunotherapy through dual regulation of metabolism and immune pathways.

Carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) is known to be overexpressed in various tumors and plays a significant role in tumor development and progression. A series of 3-sulfonamide benzoate derivatives with a 7-membered azepane ring were synthesized and evaluated for their CAIX inhibitory activities. Most of the synthesized compounds successfully inhibited CAIX activities, exhibiting IC values in the low nanomolar range.

Multisubstituted piperidines are prevalent units in pharmaceuticals. Herein, a photodriven anti-Markovnikov hydroaminative cyclization of a ()/()-isomeric mixture of trisubstituted alkenes using the lactate-derived -symmetric arylthiol catalyst was developed for the synthesis of -2,3-disubstituted piperidines and azepane in high diastereoselectivity and good yields. The origin of diastereoselectivity and the observed different hydroamination rate of alkene with different configurations were elucidated by the experimental and computational investigation.

The σ receptor plays a key role in the regulation of various processes in the human body; it is involved in the development of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases and is overexpressed in several human tumors rendering it an important target for potential drug candidates. In this project, spirocyclic σ receptor ligands with different substituents in 4- and 9-position were synthesized and investigated for their σ receptor affinity and selectivity over related targets. The σ affinity of the ligands was correlated with their lipophilicity (logD value) giving insight into their lipophilic ligand efficiency (LLE).
