Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a severe liver disease causing serious liver complications, including nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Nuclear receptor PPARα (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α) has drawn special attention recently as a potential developmental drug target to treat type-2 diabetes and related diseases due to its unique functions in regulating lipid metabolism, promoting triglyceride oxidation, and suppressing hepatic inflammation, raising interest in PPARα agonists as potential therapies for NAFLD. However, how PPARα coordinates potential treatment of NAFLD and NASH between various metabolic pathways is still obscure. Here, we show that the DY series of novel selective PPARα modulators activate PPARα by up-regulating PPARα target genes directly involved in NAFLD and NASH. The design, synthesis, docking studies, and in vitro and in vivo evaluation of the novel DY series of PPARα agonists are described.

Copper-catalyzed conjugate addition is a classic method for forming new carbon-carbon bonds. However, copper has never showed catalytic activity for umpolung carbanions in hydrazone chemistry. Herein, we report a facile conjugate addition of hydrazone catalyzed by readily available copper complexes at room temperature. The employment of mesitylcopper(I) and electron-rich phosphine bidentate ligand is a key factor affecting reactivity. The reaction allows various aromatic hydrazones to react with diverse conjugated compounds to produce 1,4-adducts in yields of about 20 to 99%.
Two-way homologation of aliphatic aldehydes: Both one-carbon shortening and lengthening via the same intermediate

Aliphatic aldehydes can be homologated to both one-carbon shorter and one-carbon longer homologous carbonyl compounds through the 2–4 steps of reactions via the same intermediates, β,γ-unsaturated α-nitrosulfones, prepared from the proline-catalyzed sequential reactions of several aliphatic aldehydes with phenylsulfonylnitromethane. While the oxidative cleavage of the key intermediates gave one-carbon less homologous carbonyl compounds, the reduction of the same key intermediates followed by an oxidation produced one-carbon more homologous carbonyl compounds.
