Amide and Thioester Synthesis Via Oxidative Coupling of Alcohols with Amines or Thiols Using Alcohol Dehydrogenases. [PDF]

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl
Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) are best known for reducing ketones to chiral alcohols, but their oxidative potential is rarely exploited. Here, we show that selected ADHs catalyze newly discovered promiscuous transformations: the oxidative coupling of primary alcohols with amines or thiols, enabling the direct and efficient synthesis of a broad range of

Gene turnover in the common ancestor of all C4 grasses

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how plants evolve more efficient photosynthesis is important in a warming world where improving crop productivity and resilience is a global priority. By generating the first reference genomes for an early‐diverging group of grasses called the Aristidoideae, we were able to reconstruct the genetic makeup of the last common ancestor of all

Covalent drug discovery: Progress against key targets, emerging strategies and lessons learnt

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Covalent drug discovery is currently experiencing a boom in industrial and academic interest. To date, at least 75 covalent drugs have received regulatory approval, targeting both traditional target classes and more challenging proteins for which other approaches failed. In many cases, unique aspects of covalent targeting are essential for the

Stereodivergent Synthesis of C5‐α‐Substituted Linezolid Derivatives From D‐Mannitol and Structure–Antibacterial Activity Evaluation

Chirality, Volume 38, Issue 9, September 2026.
A stereodivergent route from D‐mannitol enables access to enantiopure C5‐α‐substituted linezolid analogues with full configurational control. Biological evaluation reveals that α‐substitution abolishes antibacterial activity irrespective of stereochemistry, establishing a strict steric limitation at C5 and highlighting the dominant role of substituent ...

Update of the risk assessment on emerging and novel brominated flame retardants in food

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA to update its 2012 risk assessment on Emerging and Novel brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in food. Since the previous Opinion, further information was collected for a total of 27 BFRs. The CONTAM Panel concluded that TDBPP, DBPNG and TBNPA are considered genotoxic and carcinogenic.

Purine and Pyrrolopyrimidine‐Based Small Molecules as Multitarget Therapeutics

Archiv der Pharmazie, Volume 359, Issue 6, June 2026.
Purine and pyrrolopyrimidine scaffolds target multiple oncogenic pathways: cyan kinases (VEGFR‐2, Aurora A, JAK2); red epigenetic/chaperone regulators (HDAC6, BRD4, Hsp90); blue efflux and signaling/sensory modulators (MRP1, PDE, TLR, TRPA1); yellow folate‐pathway enzymes (TS, DHFR, GARFTase), defining a dual‐scaffold platform for multi‐target ...

Protein Language Model‐Guided Engineering of a 2,3‐Butanediol Dehydrogenase for the Enantioselective Synthesis of Cyclic α‐Hydroxy Ketones

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 18, 27 March 2026.
A (2R,3R)‐butanediol dehydrogenase from Bacillus subtilis (BsBDH) is engineered for the enantioselective synthesis of 2‐hydroxycyclohexanone. A PASS computational design strategy is proposed to enhance the thermostability of BsBDH. Moreover, ESM‐1v combined with ISM is utilized for enhancing and inverting its stereoselectivity.

Harmine Derivatives as Anticancer Agents Endowed With Potent and Selective Antileukemia Activity: Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, Proapoptotic and Genotoxic Activity

Archiv der Pharmazie, Volume 359, Issue 2, February 2026.
We identified a novel N9‐substituted harmine analog, compound 6, that selectively suppresses leukemic cell growth, triggers DNA damage, and activates apoptosis while sparing healthy fibroblasts. This discovery highlights N9‐modified β‐carbolines as a powerful new class of selective antileukemic agents, bridging natural product chemistry with next ...
