Summary: DFT theoretical calculations were performed to investigate the Ag2O-induced isomerization process of diaminocarbenes to formamidines coordinated to Mn(I). The results revealed that the reaction mechanism involves the metalation of the N-H residue of the carbene ligand by Ag2O catalyst and the formation of a key transition state with mu-eta(2):eta(2) coordination between the formamidinyl ligand and manganese-silver. In contrast, calculations with Cu2O catalyst showed a similar reaction mechanism that is thermodynamically feasible but kinetically unfavorable, consistent with experimental observations.

Summary: This study investigated the roles of neuropilin-1, basigin, TMPRSSs, and CTSs in SARS-CoV-2 infection using the CRISPR interference system and ACE2-expressing human iPS cells. Double knockdown of TMPRSS2 and CTSB significantly reduced the viral load. Combination of CTPB and TMPRSS2 inhibitors showed highly efficient antiviral effects against various SARS-CoV-2 variants, independent of gender.

Summary: In this study, a lysosomal cysteine protease CsCatH was identified from half-smooth tongue sole. CsCatH and CsCatB were upregulated upon infection by E. tarda, a severe fish pathogen. Knockdown of CsCatH and CsCatB increased the replication of E. tarda and mitigated E. tarda-induced apoptosis in tongue sole tissues. These findings reveal the importance of CsCatH and CsCatB in the anti-bacterial immunity of tongue sole.

Summary: This study systematically explored the biological features and clinical significance of CTSB in gliomas. The results showed that CTSB was highly expressed in certain malignant subtypes of gliomas and was an independent hazard associated with poor survival. Additionally, CTSB was found to be involved in immunoreaction and inflammation response in gliomas. The expression of CTSB was positively correlated with inflammatory metagenes and the levels of glioma-infiltrating immune cells, suggesting its potential as a biomarker and therapeutic target for gliomas.

Summary: Well-defined, bench-stable Mn(I) non-pincer-type complexes were used as catalysts for the selective reduction of CO2 to boryl-protected MeOH in the presence of pinacolborane (HBpin). High yields were achieved under mild reaction conditions without the need for base or additives, using the alkylcarbonyl Mn(I) bis(phosphine) complexes fac-[Mn(CH2CH2CH3)(dippe)(CO)3] [Mn1, dippe = 1,2-bis(diisopropylphosphino)ethane] and [Mn(dippe)(CO)2{(mu-H)2(Bpin)}] (Mn4) as precatalysts. Mechanistic insights were obtained through NMR experiments and monitoring of the catalytic reactions.

Summary: Gold(II) complexes have been less utilized in catalysis compared to their gold(I) and gold(III) counterparts. However, gold(II) complexes offer potential in homo-coupling and cross-coupling reactions, as they are more easily accessible through simplified oxidation and reduction processes. Gold(II) exhibits characteristics of both soft acid gold(I) and hard acid gold(III). This review explores the unique reactivity and potential applications of gold(II) species, highlighting their significance in catalytic transformations.

Summary: A new aryl selenonium polyoxometalate hybrid was developed and compared with an aryl sulfonium polyoxometalate hybrid in terms of their photocatalytic properties. It was found that the aryl selenonium hybrid exhibited better catalytic performance, which could be attributed to the larger atomic radii of selenium stabilizing the photogenerated electron-hole pair more efficiently. Additionally, the generation of elemental selenium through cleavage of C-Se bonds during catalysis was observed.
