Targeted and efficient delivery of nucleic acids with viral and synthetic vectors is the key step of genetic nanomedicine. The four-component lipid nanoparticle synthetic delivery systems consisting of ionizable lipids, phospholipids, cholesterol, and a PEG-conjugated lipid, assembled by microfluidic or T-tube technology, have been extraordinarily successful for delivery of mRNA to provide Covid-19 vaccines. Recently, we reported a one-component multifunctional sequence-defined ionizable amphiphilic Janus dendrimer (IAJD) synthetic delivery system for mRNA relying on amphiphilic Janus dendrimers and glycodendrimers developed in our laboratory. Amphiphilic Janus dendrimers consist of functional hydrophilic dendrons conjugated to hydrophobic dendrons. Co-assembly of IAJDs with mRNA into dendrimersome nanoparticles (DNPs) occurs by simple injection in acetate buffer, rather than by microfluidic devices, and provides a very efficient system for delivery of mRNA to lung. Here we report the replacement of most of the hydrophilic fragment of the dendron from IAJDs, maintaining only its ionizable amine, while changing its interconnecting group to the hydrophobic dendron from amide to ester. The resulting IAJDs demonstrated that protonated ionizable amines play dual roles of hydrophilic fragment and binding ligand for mRNA, changing delivery from lung to spleen and/or liver. Replacing the interconnecting ester with the amide switched the delivery back to lung. Delivery predominantly to liver is favored by pairs of odd and even alkyl groups in the hydrophobic dendron. This simple structural change transformed the targeted delivery of mRNA mediated with IAJDs, from lung to liver and spleen, and expands the utility of DNPs from therapeutics to vaccines.

A Rh(III)-catalyzed twofold unsymmetrical C-H alkenylation-annulation/thiolation reaction has been developed, enabling the straightforward and efficient synthesis of various thiobenzofurans in one step. This robust protocol proceeds with a broad substrate scope and good functional group tolerance under relatively mild reaction conditions.

Discussed herein is an unprecedented Ru-catalyzed one-pot unsymmetrical C-H difunctionalization of arenes comprising intramolecular hydroarylation of olefins and intermolecular annulation of alkynes. This unprecedented 2-fold C-H functionalization is validated on the basis of experimental and density functional theory (DFT) study. The transformation readily occurs with the assistance of methylphenyl sulfoximine (MPS) directing group in the presence of Ru catalyst forming two C-C and one C-N bonds in a single operation. The overall process is atom economical and step-efficient and provides unusual dihydrofuran-fused isoquinolone heterocycles. Further annulation of NH and the proximal o-C-H-arene of isoquinolone with alkynes build highly conjugated novel polycyclic compounds. Overall, three independent annulations in arene motifs are visualized and thoughtfully executed; finally, 5 ring-fused structural entities are constructed forming three C-C and two C-N bonds.

A methyl phenyl sulfoximine (MPS) is used as a directing group in the ruthenium-catalyzed intramolecular hydroarylation of alkene-tethered benzoic acid derivatives to afford dihydrobenzofurans and indolines in good to excellent yields. A one-pot, unsymmetrical, twofold C?H functionalization involving intramolecular C?C and intermolecular C?C/C?N bond formations is successfully demonstrated by using a single set of catalytic reaction conditions, which is unprecedented thus far. A novel isoquinolone-bearing dihydrobenzofuran is constructed through an unsymmetrical twofold C?H functionalization.

Synthesis of the naturally occurred C- and O-prenylated tetrahydroxystilbenes and O-prenylated cinnamates was carried out by decarbonylative Heck reaction and selenium dioxide catalysed oxidation, respectively. In the decarbonylative Heck synthetic route, fusion of benzoyl chloride and styrene derivatives was catalysed by an N-heterocyclic carbene system generated in situ by palladium acetate and 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl) imidazolinium chloride to form a E-tetrahydroxystilbene derivative. Formation of allyl ether was subsequently carried out by reaction of the deprotected OH in the A phenyl ring of the stilbene with 3,3-dimethylallyl bromide and a base (sodium hydride) to form O-prenylated tetrahydroxystilbene derivatives. [1,5]-Rearrangement of the isoprenyl unit from O- to C-position in the A ring was carried out at elevated temperature in the presence of magnesium silicate (Florisil) to form the corresponding C-prenylated tetrahydroxystilbene. Formation of O-prenylated cinnamate was first carried out by base catalysed allyl ether formation between 3,3-dimethylallyl bromide and hydroxycinnamic acid methyl ester. The methyl group of the isoprenyl unit was subsequently oxidized using selenium dioxide to form a terminal hydroxyl group. The prenylated tetrahydroxystilbenes and cinnamate synthesized in this study were novel derivatives of piceatannol and methyl 4-(3′-methylbut-2′-enyloxy) cinnamate isolated from propolis in Kangaroo Island, South Australia. The synthetic compounds were tested against K562 cancer cells and potent growth inhibitory activity was observed for E-1-[5-hydroxy-3-methoxy-2-(3-methyl-2- butenyl)phenyl]-2-[4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl]ethene, IC50 = 0.10 μM.
