Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a critical component of the innate immune system, recognizing lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Gram-negative bacteria and triggering immune responses. The activation of TLR4 involves several key steps, including interactions with LPS-binding protein (LBP), CD14, and myeloid differentiation protein 2 (MD-2), culminating in the formation of the (LPS.MD-2 TLR4)2 complex. Structural insights show that LPS acyl chains insert into the hydrophobic pocket of MD-2, driving TLR4 activation. Inspired by this understanding, numerous natural and synthetic compounds have been developed to inhibit TLR4 by targeting the MD-2/TLR4 complex. Eritoran 1, is one such illustration. The conformational flexibility of azepane architecture inspired us to visualize O-alkylated/N-acylated polyhydroxyazepane-based compounds toward this objective. The docking studies and molecular simulation studies supported the rationale. Synthesis of O-alkylated/N-acylated polyhydroxyazepane-based compounds 2-4 (a-h) through a key building block is described herein.

Tetracycline destructases (TDases), a type of TC-inactivating enzymes, inactivate all known TC antibiotics by C11a oxidation, which is considered as a clinical threat. To provide more information on this enzymatic inactivation and oxygenated TCs, we report here a chemical oxidation of Tetracycline and its derivatives at the C11a position using m-CPBA with additives via biomimetic pathways. The structures of the oxygen-containing TCs (2h, 2i) were confirmed by X-ray analysis, and further transformations were performed with oxygen-containing TCs (2e, 2i).

Herein, we report the first stereoselective total synthesis of the eremophilane-type sesquiterpenoid (−)-peniroqueforin C using a chiral-pool strategy. This synthetic route features the use of readily available (S)-(+)-carvone as a chiral building block, Robinson annulation to construct the decalin system, substrate-controlled stereoselective methylation, single-step annulative construction of a tricyclic γ-ylidene-butenolide with concomitant alkene transposition, and direct lactone-to-lactam conversion as key transformations.

The Pd-catalyzed cycloisomerization of thiocarbamates with consecutive formation of a quaternary carbon and a sulfide is described. This Pd-catalyzed cascade reaction occurred with both alkylthiocarbamates and arylthiocarbamates, and arylthiocarbamates reacted faster than alkylthiocarbamates. The Pd-catalyzed cycloisomerization can be applied to phenylene- and alkylene-tethered substrates, and thiocarbamate was found to be less reactive than carbamimidothioate. The Pd-catalyzed cycloisomerization can be used to form bridged rings and is expected to be useful for ring construction of nitrogen-containing polycyclic natural products.

Over the decades, enantioselective metal/enzyme dual catalysis has emerged as a dynamic area of research in asymmetric synthesis. By leveraging the unique reactivities of metal/enzyme dual catalysis, numerous transformations have been developed, primarily relying on metals such as Pd, Ru, Ir, Fe and Au. Among all transition metals, gold stands out as the catalyst of choice due to its soft π-acidic nature. The π-activation reactivities of gold catalysts have been strategically integrated with enzyme catalysis, thereby leading to highly enantioselective transformations that are unattainable via a single catalyst alone. This review endeavors to provide an overview of the advancements in enantioselective gold/enzyme dual catalysis.

Cell-penetrating peptides (CPP) enable to deliver large biomolecules (proteins, peptides, oligonucleotides, etc.) into cells. An important step for the conjugation of CPPs to target proteins is the acquisition of activated CPPs, however, it requires a multi-step isolation and purification process. Here, we report a facile strategy for the synthesis of activated cell-penetrating peptides via a one-step solid-phase synthesis through the reaction of 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) with CPP on resins, which can then be treated with a TFA cocktails to directly obtain activated CPP (TNB-CPP). Using this strategy, we successfully obtained activated cyclic cell-penetrating deca-arginine peptide (TNB-cR10) and activated Tat (TNB-Tat) and efficient cytosolic delivery of ubiquitin (Ub) can be achieved by linking it to these CPPs.

β-Lactams have long been a cornerstone in the treatment of various bacterial infections, largely due to their unique structure–activity relationship with pathogenic bacteria. Significant efforts have been devoted in the literature to the development of novel β-lactam compounds and their subsequent medicinal evaluation. Moreover, the structural diversity in β-lactam derivatives has garnered significant interest in medicinal arena. Therefore, in this review thoroughly discusses the impact of structural diversity on various medicinal applications, which can be achieved through multiple synthetic approaches, including stereoselective reactions, heterocyclic fusion, regioselective modifications, and metal-catalyzed transformations. Additionally, the occurrence of functional groups such as electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups in structurally diverse β-lactam scaffolds has been explored to assess their medicinal impact. Furthermore, β-lactam compounds have increasingly attracted interest in medicinal chemistry because of their many other remarkable biological activities. Through the analysis of stereoselectivity, heterocyclic motifs, and the impacts of functional groups, we highlight the compounds noteworthy for medicinal applications, including anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, anti-diabetic, anti-viral, anti-tubercular, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-malarial activity. Owing to these captivating pharmacological properties, this review provides a comprehensive update on the varied medicinal applications of β-lactam scaffolds, emphasizing a wide range of examples from 2020 to 2024.
