Highly Enantioselective Iridium-Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Heteroaromatic Compounds, Quinolines

TL;DR: The highly enantioselective hydrogenation of quinoline derivatives is developed using [Ir(COD)Cl]2/(R)-MeO-Biphep/I2 system, and this methodology has been applied to the asymmetric synthesis of three naturally occurring alkaloids angustureine, galipinine, and cuspareine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural and functional characterizations of infectivity and immune evasion of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron

TL;DR: In this article , the structure of the spike (S) from Omicron reveals amino acid substitutions forging interactions that stably maintain an active conformation for receptor recognition, which can be used for the development of broad-spectrum vaccines and therapeutics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activity-based proteome profiling of potential cellular targets of Orlistat - an FDA-approved drug with anti-tumor activities

TL;DR: This study reports the total of synthesis of THL-like protein-reactive probes, in which extremely conservative modifications were introduced in the parental THL structure to maintain the native biological properties of Orlistat, while providing the necessary functionality for target identification via the bio-orthogonal click chemistry.
