Summary: An efficient synthetic strategy based on higher-order multicomponent reactions (MCRs) is established for the synthesis of quinoxaline-furan bis-heterocyclic structures. The method involves a one-pot, pseudo-five-component reaction using readily available precursors. The notable features of this method include high atom economy, operational simplicity, high yields, and applicability on a gram scale. Indolo[2,3-b]quinoxaline-furan tris-heterocycles were also successfully synthesized using isatin derivatives via consecutive reactions.

Summary: Chiral oxindoles are important chemical structures found in many natural products. While there are well-developed methods for constructing C3 quaternary oxindoles with high selectivity, the efficient synthesis of chiral 3-substituted tertiary oxindoles is rarely reported. In this study, a multicomponent assembly method for complex oxindoles through enantioselective cooperative catalysis is presented.

Summary: This work presents a one-pot procedure to assemble novel 2-pyrazolin-5-one derivative functionalized through an isocyanide based formal [4+1] cycloaddition. A surprising multicomponent reaction resulted in nine novel molecules with an embedded alkyl carboxamide group in moderate yield. The isolation and characterization of an unforeseen orthoamide intermediate provides evidence for the plausible mechanism of the formal [4+1] cycloaddition. Such an approach represents a significant advance in preparing pyrazolone derivatives functionalized with amides.

Summary: A new spiroxindoles with a benzimidazole scaffold was designed and synthesized as a new murine double minute two (MDM2) inhibitor. The desired spiroxindoles were obtained through a [3+2] cycloaddition reaction with excellent regioselectivity and diastereoselectivity. Biochemical assays showed that compound 7d exhibited the most active anticancer reactivity with an IC50 value of 3.797 +/- 0.205 μM. Compound 7a showed promising results as an MDM2 inhibitor with a KD value of 2.38 μM, as confirmed by molecular docking studies.

Summary: Healthy non-obese insulin resistant individuals have a higher risk of metabolic syndrome. Physical activity can lower insulin resistance, but the metabolic pathways involved are still unknown. This study analyzed data from 305 non-obese participants and found that active insulin resistant individuals showed differences in fatty acid metabolism, while sedentary insulin resistant individuals showed changes in glucose metabolism. These findings have important implications for the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome. Rating: 8 out of 10.
