2,3‐Dichloro‐5,6‐Dicyano‐1,4‐Benzoquinone (DDQ)‐Mediated CC Bond Formation: Redox Strategies from Stoichiometric to Catalytic Systems

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2026.
2,3‐Dichloro‐5,6‐dicyano‐1,4‐benzoquinone serves as a versatile oxidant and redox catalyst for CC bond formation through hydride abstraction or single‐electron transfer. Stoichiometric and catalytic systems enable benzylic, allylic, and aromatic CH activation under mild, metal‐free conditions, providing sustainable routes to complex and bioactive ...

Ligand‐Based Pharmacophore Mapping and Virtual Screening for the Search of Biguanide‐Like Molecules With Antidiabetic Potentials Targeting Liver Kinase B1

Biochemistry Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a state where the body’s glucose metabolism is compromised. AMP‐activated protein kinase, or AMPK, has an important part to play in glucose metabolism, and the liver kinase B1 (LKB1) protein functions as a major upstream kinase for AMPK activation, thereby making it appealing therapeutic targets for treating and ...

Chapter 3 Noniridoid Bisindole Alkaloids

, 1995
This chapter discusses that indole is a reactive nucleus prone to dimerization when it is isolated or a part of tryptamine or tryptophan, which themselves are reactive toward many functionalities. For these reasons, bisindoles, the majority of which are of iridoid origin, are frequently isolated in nature. Besides these “dimers,” there exists a growing

From data to discovery: leveraging big data in plant natural products biosynthesis research

The Plant Journal, Volume 122, Issue 6, June 2025.
SUMMARY Plant natural products or specialized metabolites play a vital role in drug discovery and development, with many clinically important derivatives such as the anticancer drugs topotecan (derived from the natural alkaloid camptothecin) and etoposide (derived from the natural polyphenol podophyllotoxin).
