Diastereoselective Three-Component 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition to Access Functionalized β-Tetrahydrocarboline- and Tetrahydroisoquinoline-Fused Spirooxindoles [PDF]
A chemselective catalyst-free three-component 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition has been described. The unique polycyclic THPI and THIQs were creatively employed as dipolarophiles, which led to the formation of functionalized β-tetrahydrocarboline- and ...

Deciphering Tryptophan Oxygenation: Key Modulators of 2-Oxindole Formation in MarE. [PDF]
This study reveals that MarE, a heme‐dependent aromatic oxygenase, favors dioxygenation of β‐methyl‐l‐tryptophan in the absence of ascorbate and demonstrates how structural and redox tuning shifts its reactivity toward selective monooxygenation, yielding a 2‐oxindole scaffold. These findings offer new insights into enzyme‐controlled indole oxidation in

In Vitro and In Silico Evaluation of Isatin-Derived Spirooxindoles as Antituberculosis Drug Candidates. [PDF]
Two compounds, A16 and A17, were active against multidrug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates (PT‐12 and PT‐20), overcoming key resistance mutations in katG and rpoB, while cytotoxicity assays confirmed that they are non‐toxic. A17 exhibited the highest antituberculosis activity, with molecular docking suggesting enoyl‐[acyl‐carrier‐protein ...

Electrochemical Enantioselective Oxidation of Indoles via Chiral Phosphoric Acid Catalysis in Cooperation with H<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> in Aqueous Media. [PDF]
A binary organic–inorganic acid cooperative catalytic system has been developed to achieve highly enantioselective electrochemical oxidative rearrangement of indoles. The use of electricity as an oxidant in this case showed several advantages including environmental benignity and improved enantiocontrol.
