Summary: In this work, multifunctional nanocarriers Met-CDs were successfully synthesized for tumor cell imaging and cancer therapy. The drug-derived carbon dots exhibit resistance to photobleaching, pH sensitivity, and temperature sensitivity. The Met-CDs also demonstrate promising biological activity in diabetic cell models and A549 cells.

Summary: Scalable asymmetric syntheses of two kallikrein-related protease 6 (KLK6) inhibitors were achieved by linking enantiomerically enriched fragments via amide bond formation, followed by conversion of a cyano group to an amidine. X-ray crystallographic analysis of two derivatives clarified the stereochemical outcome of the reaction. X-ray crystallography of the inhibitor complexes bound to human KLK6 revealed their binding poses.

Summary: A novel multicomponent cascade reaction has been reported for the synthesis of imidazo[2,1-a]isoquinoline derivatives in one-pot via the construction of two C-N bonds and one C-S/C-Se bond. The reaction achieves simultaneous C(sp3)-H amination and sulfenylation/selenation, avoiding complicated substrate preparation. It has simple operating conditions and good substrate compatibility.

Summary: A scalable asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-emetine, an important component in emetics, has been achieved. The synthesis involved 13 steps of highly efficient chemical reactions, including catalytic asymmetric allylation and industrial deoxygenation, eliminating the need for chromatographic purification. A high yield of (-)-emetine center dot 2HCl (12%) with over 93.2% HPLC purity was obtained, and the synthesis can be easily scaled up for larger production and currently used in natural ipecac syrup for clinical application.

Summary: This study discovered potent and orally active hCYP3A4 inhibitors from chalcone derivatives and tested their effects on hCYP3A4 in vitro and in vivo. The isoquinoline chalcones were found to have excellent anti-hCYP3A4 effects after screening and optimization. SAR studies revealed the structural requirements for enhancing the anti-CYP3A4 effect. A lead compound, C6, was identified as the most potent hCYP3A4 inhibitor and showed good metabolic stability and safety profiles. In vivo tests demonstrated the efficacy of C6 in increasing drug exposure and prolonging drug half-life. Overall, this study offers valuable insights into developing novel CYP3A4 inhibitors.

Summary: In this study, a series of chalcone-based compounds with 2,2-dimethylbenzopyran were designed and synthesized. Compound 16e showed the strongest HIF-1 inhibitory activity, as well as significant suppression of cell migration and VEGF-induced invasion, and anti-angiogenesis activity. The compound also demonstrated no toxic adverse effects in animal tests, suggesting its potential as an anti-invasive and anti-angiogenic agent.

Summary: In this study, a series of novel dual MDH1/2 inhibitors were designed and synthesized, and their structure-activity relationship was investigated. Among the tested compounds, compound 50 containing a piperidine ring showed improved growth inhibition of A549 and H460 lung cancer cell lines compared to LW1497. Compound 50 reduced the total ATP content in A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner and suppressed the accumulation of HIF-1a and expression of HIF-1a target genes such as GLUT1 and PDK1. Furthermore, compound 50 inhibited HIF-1a-regulated CD73 expression under hypoxia in A549 lung cancer cells. These results suggest that compound 50 may be a potential candidate for the development of next-generation dual MDH1/2 inhibitors to target lung cancer.

Summary: A convenient catalytic protocol for the synthesis of electron-poor indoles was developed using Zn(II) salts as catalysts for the cyclisation reaction of electron-deficient 2-(alkynyl)-anilines. This protocol was successfully applied to the synthesis of an API precursor. The use of a readily available, non-noble metal enhanced the value of the protocol.

Summary: In this study, 15 ionic liquids (ILs) derived from quaternary ammonium and carboxylates were synthesized and characterized. Their evaluation as corrosion inhibitors (CIs) for API X52 steel in 0.5 M HCl was conducted. Potentiodynamic tests showed that the inhibition efficiency (IE) varied with the chemical configuration of the anion and cation. The ILs were found to be mixed-type CIs and the IE was directly proportional to the CI concentration. Surface analysis by scanning electron microscopy confirmed the reduced steel damage in the presence of CI due to the inhibitor-metal interaction.

Summary: This study aimed to improve the water-solubility of rivaroxaban through cocrystal preparation and understand the process. Two cocrystals of rivaroxaban with malonic acid and oxalic acid were prepared, and the structure of the cocrystal with oxalic acid was solved. The cocrystals exhibited improved dissolution properties, and the mechanism behind this improvement was studied. In-vivo experiments confirmed that the use of cocrystals increased the bioavailability of rivaroxaban.

Summary: DC-SIGN is a pattern recognition receptor expressed on immune cells that recognizes carbohydrate signatures on pathogens. This study focuses on developing inhibitors that can block the carbohydrate-binding site of DC-SIGN. By screening a library of compounds and validating the data, the researchers identified certain compounds with favorable binding activity and demonstrated their ability to modulate the carbohydrate binding site.
