- Inhibition of Autophagy by a Small Molecule through Covalent Modification of the LC3 Protein
-
The autophagic ubiquitin-like protein LC3 functions through interactions with LC3-interaction regions (LIRs) of other autophagy proteins, including autophagy receptors, which stands out as a promising protein–protein interaction (PPI) target for the intervention of autophagy. Post-translational modifications like acetylation of Lys49 on the LIR-interacting surface could disrupt the interaction, offering an opportunity to design covalent small molecules interfering with the interface. Through screening covalent compounds, we discovered a small molecule modulator of LC3A/B that covalently modifies LC3A/B protein at Lys49. Activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) based evaluations reveal that a derivative molecule DC-LC3in-D5 exhibits a potent covalent reactivity and selectivity to LC3A/B in HeLa cells. DC-LC3in-D5 compromises LC3B lipidation in vitro and in HeLa cells, leading to deficiency in the formation of autophagic structures and autophagic substrate degradation. DC-LC3in-D5 could serve as a powerful tool for autophagy research as well as for therapeutic interventions.

- Construction of Multiple-Substituted Chiral Cyclohexanes through Hydrogenative Desymmetrization of 2,2,5-Trisubstituted 1,3-Cyclohexanediones
-
The construction of chiral multiple-substituted cyclohexanes motifs is a challenging topic in organic synthesis. By the combination of desymmetrization and remote stereocontrol, a ruthenium-catalyzed transfer hydrogenative desymmetrization of 2,2,5-trisubstituted 1,3-cyclohexanediones has been successfully developed for the construction of chiral multiple-substituted cyclohexanes with high enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity. When an ester group was introduced to the two-position, a hydrogenative desymmetrization/transesterification cascade occurred, affording the bicyclic lactones bearing three stereocenters, including two discrete stereocenters and one quaternary stereogenic center, with high enantioselectivity. The products are the multiple-substituted chiral cyclohexanes bearing the hydroxyl and carbonyl functional groups, which provide a new opportunity for further precise elaboration.

- Dehydrogenative Formation of Resorcinol Derivatives Using Pd/C-Ethylene Catalytic System
-
The conversion of substituted 1,3-cyclohexanediones to the alkyl ethers of resorcinol using a Pd/C-ethylene system is reported. In these reactions, ethylene works as a hydrogen acceptor. The efficient synthesis of resveratrol was achieved using this protocol as a key step. In addition, the direct formation of substituted resorcinols was carried out by adding K2CO3 into the reaction media.

- Synthesis and Antimalarial Properties of 1-Imino Derivatives of 7-Chloro-3-substituted-3,4-dihydro-1,9(2H,10H)-acridinediones and Related Structures
-
To improve upon the activity and properties of the 3-aryl-7-chloro-3,4-dihydro-1,9(2H,10H)-acridinediones, a variety of 1-imino derivatives (3) were prepared and shown to be highly active antimalarial agents in both rodents and primates.Among structural modifications prepared, including N10-alkyl and C2-substituted analogs, removal of the C9 oxygen, and introduction of an imino side chain at C9, the imines of the N10-H acridinediones were the most active compounds obtained.The imino derivative of7-chloro-3-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-3,4-dihydro-1,9(2H,10H)-acridinedione (9aa) proved to be highly active in advanced studies in primates.
