TL;DR: This bioassay showed that tryptophan, the biosynthesis precursor of β-carboline alkaloids, and their derivatives were synthesized and exhibited good inhibitory activities against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), and also found that these compounds showed antifungal activities and insecticidal activities.

TL;DR: TBuO2Ac was found to be a highly efficient oxidant for the polymerization of hemigossypol through a biosynthetic process under nonenzymatic conditions to give gossypoli.

TL;DR: A concise method for the synthesis of 1,2-fused tricyclic indole scaffolds by domino cyclization involving a Pd-catalyzed Sonogashira coupling, indole cyclization, regio- and chemoselective N-1 acylation, and 1,4-Michael addition is reported.

TL;DR: An indepth structure-activity relationship investigation showed that the spatial conformation was one of the most important factors in adjusting antiviral activity; the research results provided the information about the possible optimum configuration for interaction of this molecular with its target protein.

TL;DR: The first visible-light-induced trifluoromethylation and monofluoroalkenylation of simple alkenes via a challenging radical-radical cross-coupling step was achieved.
