Radical Cyclization of Trichloroacetamides: Synthesis of Lactams [PDF]
Trichloroacetamides can act as radical precursors to synthesize nitrogen-containing heterocycles in a variety of processes, mainly involving atom transfer radical cyclizations (ATRC), mediated by Cu(I) or Ru(II) catalysts, and the hydride reductive ...

Discovery of (S)-3′-hydroxyblebbistatin and (S)-3′-aminoblebbistatin : polar myosin II inhibitors with superior research tool properties [PDF]
In search of myosin II inhibitors with superior research tool properties, a chemical optimization campaign of the blebbistatin scaffold was conducted in this paper. (S)-Blebbistatin is the best known small-molecule inhibitor of myosin II ATPase activity.

Singlet oxygen-mediated one-pot chemoselective peptide–peptide ligation [PDF]
We here describe a furan oxidation based site-specific chemical ligation approach using unprotected peptide segments. This approach involves two steps: after photooxidation of a furan-containing peptide, ligation is achieved by reaction of the unmasked ...

Pramanicin analog induces apoptosis in human colon cancer cells: critical roles for Bcl-2, Bim, and p38 MAPK signaling [PDF]
Pramanicin (PMC) is an antifungal agent that was previously demonstrated to exhibit antiangiogenic and anticancer properties in a few in vitro studies. We initially screened a number of PMC analogs for their cytotoxic effects on HCT116 human colon cancer
