Synthesis Of Hyacinthacine B-3 And Purported Hyacinthacine B-7, Christopher W.G. Au, Robert J. Nash, Stephen G. Pyne
Synthesis Of Hyacinthacine B-3 And Purported Hyacinthacine B-7, Christopher W.G. Au, Robert J. Nash, Stephen G. Pyne

The synthesis of hyacinthacines B-3 and B-7 has confirmed the structure of the former alkaloid and shown that the structure of the latter is incorrect.

Sphingolipids including sphingomyelin have been implicated as potential atherogenic lipids. Studies in apoE (apolipoprotein E)-null mice have revealed that the serine palmitoyltransferase inhibitor myriocin reduces plasma levels of sphingomyelin, ceramide, sphingosine-I-phosphate and glycosphingolipids and that this is associated with potent inhibition of atherosclerosis. Interestingly, hepatic apoA-I (apolipoprotein A-I) synthesis and plasma HDL (high-density lipoprotein)cholesterol levels were also increased in apoE-null mice treated with myriocin. Since myriocin is a known inhibitor of ERK (extracellular-signal-related kinase) phosphorylation, we assessed the possibility that myriocin may be acting to increase hepatic apoA-I production via this pathway. To address this, HepG2 cells and primary mouse …
Synthesis Of Reaction-Ready 6,6 '-Biindole And 6,6 '-Biisatin Via Palladium(Ii)-Catalysed Intramolecular C-H Functionalisation, Allan B. Gamble, Paul A. Keller

The first synthesis of a 6,6'-biindole and 6,6'-biisatin scaffold is reported with the penultimate step being the formation of the di-heterocyclic ring by Pd(II)-catalysed intramolecular C-H functionalisation and Sandmeyer cyclisation, respectively.
