Article Abstract
Molybdenum trioxide has been proven to be an efficient catalyst in synthesizing mixed -benzoyl piperidine dispiro-1,2,4,5-tetraoxane analogues using a one-pot reaction. This catalyst facilitated the synthesis of 21 tetraoxanes using cyclic, acyclic, and aromatic ketones. The structure and methodology of this reaction have been validated by single-crystal X-ray analysis of compound ″3g″. The nature of dispiro-1,2,4,5-tetraoxane being synthesized has an impact on the overall yield of tetraoxanes such as symmetric dispiro-1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes ranging from 53 to 82%, while yields of -benzoyl piperidine dispiro-1,2,4,5-tetraoxanes ranged from 26 to 51%. Additionally, the antiplasmodial activity of the newly developed tetraoxanes against was assessed, which exhibited significantly higher activity in the nanomolar range, with values ranging from 6.35 to 44.65 nM. Molecular docking studies revealed that newer tetraoxane derivatives bind to the active site of the falcipain-2 enzyme through H-bonding and hydrophobic contacts, which are the primary indicators of the effectiveness of the synthesized compounds. Findings suggest that these peculiar compounds may act as antiplasmodial agents, which spur further study and advancement in the battle against malaria.

Current anti-tumor strategies majorly rely on the targeted delivery of functional nanomedicines to tumor region, neglecting the importance of effective infiltration of these nanomedicines in whole tumor tissue. This process normally causes the quick endocytosis by the tumor cells at surface layer of tumor tissue, resulting in the restriction of the penetration of these nanomedicines and limited therapeutic region, which would not be able to treat the entire tumor tissue. Herein, we prepared a series of engineered gold nanoparticles (Au-MBP NPs) with step-wise charge reversal in different acid environments that could entirely infiltrate into the whole tumor tissue and then perform tumor-specific photothermal-chemodynamic-immunotherapy to achieve the complete and accurate tumor treatment.

To introduce a highly reactive acetylenic ketone function into the polysaccharide structure, arabinogalactan propargyl ethers (AGPg) with degree of substitution 1 were modified via the benzoylation of residual hydroxyl groups followed by cross-coupling of propargyl ether groups with benzoyl chloride. In the first stage, mixed propargyl ethers/benzoic esters of AG (degrees of substitution 1 and 2, respectively) were obtained in a yield of up to 95 % at room temperature in pyridine. In the second stage, the synthesized AG derivatives were involved in a palladium/copper-catalyzed cross-coupling of propargyl groups with benzoyl chloride (60-65 C, dioxane, EtN) to afford arabinogalactans bearing benzoate and benzoylpropargyl ether groups in 87-96 % yield (degree of substitution up to 1.

Unlabelled: Although many natural product-derived compounds possess anti-leishmanial activities in vitro and in vivo, their molecular targets in the parasite remain elusive. This is a major challenge in optimizing these compounds into leads. The pteridine reductase (PTR1) is peculiar for folate and pterin metabolism and has been validated as a drug target.
