Inhibitory Activity of Conferone on FAK Activity and Glutamine Metabolism in Human Colorectal Cancer
ABSTRACT Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major global cause of death, with metastases and chemotherapy resistance contributing to poor outcomes. To identify natural compounds with anticancer potential against CRC and elucidate their action mechanisms, the cytotoxicity of 37 natural compounds was evaluated against the HCT116, leading to the identification ...

2‐Aryl(alkyl)benzimidazole hydroxamic acids (11‐16) are potent and selective HDAC6 inhibitors, with minimal activity against HDAC1/2, and also display anti‐angiogenic and anticancer activities. Compound 13 exhibited a GI50 of 3.9 μM against EPCs and inhibited the growth of HCT‐116, SK‐Hep‐1, and PC‐3 cells with GI50 values of 1.3, 4.2, and 7.5 μM ...

Anticancer α-, γ-, and δ-carboline derivatives: structures, mechanisms of action, and SARs
Carboline consists of a pyridine ring fused with an indole skeleton, and it serves as a potential drug scaffold. Depending on the relative position of the pyridine N to the indole N, carbolines can be categorized into α-, β-, γ-, and δ-subfamilies.

Thiourea-Catalyzed Enantioselective Iso-Pictet-Spengler Reactions [PDF]
A one-pot condensation of isotryptamines and aldehydes that affords enantiomerically enriched 4-substituted tetrahydro-\(\gamma\)-carbolines is reported. The reaction is induced by a chiral thiourea/benzoic acid dual catalyst system.

Wherefore the Magic? The Evolutionary Role of Psilocybin in Nature
This study explores the evolutionary role of psilocybin, the psychedelic compound found in Psilocybe mushrooms. We provide the first experimental tests of defence and community‐level evidence for invertebrate responses to psilocybin‐producing fungi, revealing significant negative effects on invertebrate locomotion, development, and survival.
