, (2021/03/13)
In one aspect the invention relates to a method of treatment selected from the group consisting of: (a) treating a symptom such as pain in a subject identified or diagnosed as having Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS); (b) treating a symptom such as pain in a subject having dysfunctional TRPM3 ion channel activity; (c) restoring NK cell function in a subject having dysfunctional TRPM3 ion channel activity; and (d) restoring calcium homeostasis in a subject having dysfunctional TRPM3 ion channel activity. The method comprises the step of administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of at least one therapeutic compound selected from the group consisting of: (i) an opioid receptor antagonist; (ii) an opioid antagonist; and (iii) a therapeutic compound that restores TRPM3 ion channel activity. In some embodiments the therapeutic compound is naltrexone hydrochloride.

An umpolung 1,4-addition of aryl iodides to enals promoted by cooperative (terpy)Pd/NHC catalysis was developed that generates various bioactive β,β-diaryl propanoate derivatives. This system is not only the first reported palladium-catalyzed arylation of NHC-bound homoenolates but also expands the scope of NHC-induced umpolung transformations. A diverse array of functional groups such as esters, nitriles, alcohols, and heterocycles are tolerated under the mild conditions. This method also circumvents the use of moisture-sensitive organometallic reagents.

We report here that addition of stoichiometric amounts of alcohols or water to mixtures of imines and pinacolborane promote reduction reactions. The reactions of several imines were examined, revealing that alkyl imines were reduced, while aniline derived imines were not effectively reduced. The use of binol as an additive resulted in modest enantioinduction, however other chiral additives that were screened gave negligible enantioinduction. While the reactions described herein are not competitive in conversion with established imine reduction technologies, this work reveals that the presence of protic impurities must be considered as a promoter of side reactions in catalyzed imine hydroborations. Amines also promote imine reduction in certain cases, raising the possibility of a slow autocatalytic reaction. The ability of water or other protic impurities to promote the reduction of imines with pinacolborane represents an important identification of a potential source of background reaction in catalyzed reductions of imines.
