The intermolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition of -hydroxy benzyl alcohols with isochroman ketals was realized by CFCOH catalysis. A broad range of bisbenzannulated [6,6]-spiroketals were formed under the metal-free mild conditions in moderate to excellent yields (45-98%) with mostly excellent diastereoselectivities (up to >20 : 1 dr). Furthermore, the enantioselective version was also preliminarily investigated and the bisbenzannulated [6,6]-spiroketal was obtained with 61% ee in the presence of Sc(OTf)/Feng's chiral ,'-dioxide ligand. Some of the bisbenzannulated [6,6]-spiroketal products showed good antifungal activities against and .

Introduction: The objective of the World Health Organization is to achieve the interruption of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) transmission by 2030.
Methods: This review aims to update knowledge on HAT, through a synthesis on the epidemiology, diagnostic tools and drugs of HAT.
Results: From 1960 to 2024 approximately 132,063 cases of HAT have been reported across Africa.

The catalytic asymmetric Mannich reaction is a multicomponent reaction which affords β-amino carbonyl compounds by utilizing an aldehyde, a primary or secondary amine/ammonia, and a ketone. β-amino carbonyl scaffolds are crucial intermediates for the synthesis of naturally occurring bioactive compounds and their derivatives. The synthesized natural compounds exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities including anti-fungal, anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, anti-HIV, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities.

Objective: This study was conducted to determine and compare the antioxidant, cytotoxic, and antimicrobial effects of spindle leaves of L. () (oleaster) leaves.
Methods: Total phenolic content was measured using the Folin-Ciocalteu method, phenolic compound analysis by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) and antimicrobial effect by the minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) method.

Adults with short bowel syndrome (SBS), malabsorption, and malnutrition often require long-term parenteral nutrition (PN), typically as total PN (TPN). These patients are susceptible to bloodstream infections and sepsis. We present a case of a 63-year-old male patient who developed SBS following an acute mesenteric event.
