Paclitaxel is a well known anticancer compound. Its biosynthesis involves the formation of highly functionalized diterpenoid core skeleton (baccatin III) and subsequent assembly phenylisoserinoyl side chain. Despite intensive investigation for half century, complete biosynthetic pathway baccatin III remains unknown.

Brassica campestris L., a cadmium (Cd) hyperaccumulating herbaceous plant, is considered as promising candidate for the bioremediation of Cd pollution. However, molecular mechanisms regulating these processes remain unclear. The present work, using proteome studies combined with transcriptome analysis, was carried out to reveal response hairy roots L. under stress. Significant tissue necrosis and cellular damage occurred, accumulation observed in cell walls vacuoles roots. Through...
Semantic communication is widely touted as a key technology for propelling sixth-generation (6G) wireless networks. However, providing effective semantic representation quite challenging in practice. To address this issue, article takes crack at exploiting knowledge base (KB) to usher new era of generative communication. Via KB, source messages can be characterized low-dimensional subspaces without compromising their desired meanings, thus significantly enhancing the efficiency. The...
In the palm of your hand: Total syntheses originally proposed and revised structures marine antitumor agent palmerolide A (see picture, structure had opposite configurations at positions indicated in red) were accomplished through a modular strategy that features ring-closing metathesis to stereoselectively form C8C9 bond concurrently macrocycle.
Molecular design and chemical synthesis of several palmerolide A analogues allowed the first structure activity relationships (SARs) this newly discovered marine antitumor agent. From synthesized tested (ent-1, 5−14, 21−26, 50, 51), compounds 25 (with a phenyl substituent on side chain) 51 (lacking C-7 hydroxyl group) were most interesting, exhibiting approximately 10-fold increase in potency equipotency, respectively, to natural product. These findings point way more focused relationship studies.

An effective approach to the total synthesis of natural antibiotic pamamycin 621A is described, in which stereogenic centers at C-13 and C-15 were taken from a chiral building block derived inexpensive d-glucolactone while all others (except C-10) installed via auxiliary-induced asymmetric Evans/Crimmins aldol reactions. In smaller/lower fragment, an antiselective Evans condensation was found occur only if stoichiometric (rather than catalytic as reported literature) amount magnesium...
Hot-stamped steel has been widely used in automobile bumper and other safety components due to its high strength. Therefore, this paper investigates the effect of hydrogen content strain rate on hydrogen-induced delay cracking (HIDC) behavior.
