Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is becoming the most predominant burden of chronic liver disease worldwide. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), the progressive form of NAFLD, can develop into cirrhosis and hepatocellular cancer. Unfortunately, current options for therapeutic treatment of NASH are very limited. Among multiple pathways in NASH, farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a nuclear bile acid receptor, is well-recognized as an important effective target. Here we report the synthesis and characterization of compound HEC96719 a novel tricyclic FXR agonist based on a prior high-affinity nonsteroidal molecule GW4064. HEC96719 exhibits excellent potency superior to GW4064 and obeticholic acid in in vitro and in vivo assays of FXR activation. It also shows higher FXR selectivity and more favorable tissue distribution dominantly in liver and intestine. Preclinical data on pharmacokinetic properties, efficacy, and safety profiles overall indicate that HEC96719 is a promising drug candidate for NASH treatment.

Molecules with strong absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) spectral region are of interest for a variety of applications in the photosciences. Nature's NIR absorbers are bacteriochlorophylls, which contain a tetrahydroporphyrin chromophore accentuated by

An expedient synthesis of lycorine alkaloids is reported using a palladium(0)-catalyzed double C-X/C-H arylation as the key step. The selectivity of this reaction was controlled through the judicious choice of the two halogen atoms, and its generality was
