Structures of variants of Escherichia coli flavodiiron‐type nitric oxide reductase reveal changes in the di‐iron site

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 457-470, May 2026.
Flavodiiron proteins (FDPs) are di‐iron enzymes that reduce NO and/or O2 with distinct substrate selectivity. We have produced E. coli FDP variants targeting second coordination‐sphere residues and determined their structures. Although the kinetics remained unchanged, the E.

Rewiring Steroidal Metabolic Pathways for Diosgenin Production in Solanum nigrum

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3032-3047, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Diosgenin is a key starting material for the synthesis of steroidal drugs, such as corticosteroids and sex hormones. While the primary commercial source of diosgenin is the tubers of Dioscorea spp., identifying alternative plant hosts capable of diosgenin biosynthesis could enhance its production.

Second‐Generation Crystalline Sponges Enabling Consistent Structure Analysis Under Standardized Conditions for Diverse Molecules

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 17, 20 April 2026.
The second‐generation crystalline sponge method allows structurally diverse molecular guests to crystallize under standardized crystallization conditions. The key is the predominant packing type of cages and anions in crystals. ABSTRACT Crystallization is typically highly sensitive to even minor structural differences in target molecules.

Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of New Polyhydroxylated Bis‐Chalcones as Potential COX‐2 Selective Inhibitors

open access: yesChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Novel polyhydroxylated bis‐chalcones were successfully synthesized and demonstrated COX‐2 selective inhibition. The most potent and selective inhibitor exhibited a mixed‐type inhibition mechanism with COX‐2. Its additional bulk preferentially blocked the access to the active pocket of COX‐1 rather than COX‐2. Selective inhibition of COX‐2 is considered

Total Synthesis of the Spirocyclic Bis‐Indole Alkaloid (−)‐Owerreine via a [4+2] Annulation

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 17, 20 April 2026.
The total synthesis of the bis‐indole alkaloid (−)‐owerreine has been accomplished by a diastereoselective [4+2] annulation between an enamine and an α,β−unsaturated indolenine precursor to form the 3‐spirocyclic tetrahydropyridine linkage of the natural product. DFT calculations allow an understanding of the mechanism of the key annulation.
