Since its discovery in the early seventies intermolecular Pauson-Khand reaction has made considerable progress towards a powerful synthetic method. This account describes major accomplishments with respect to reactivity, stereoselectivity and catalytic versions, which have been achieved over last decade summarizes mechanistic information being obtained by theoretical experimental studies.

7-Hydroxy-6,7-dihydro-5 H -pyrolizine-1-carboxaldehyde is the major volatile component of scent organs in males two species Creatonotos (Lepidoptera, Arctiidae). The biosynthesis this presumed pheromone depends on presence pyrrolizidine alkaloids plants that are ingested by larvae. In addition, these secondary plant substances control morphogenesis organs. This morphogenetic effect an alkaloid has not been observed previously.
Abstract Graves’ hyperthyroidism (GH) is a condition in which autoantibodies chronically activate the thyrotropin (thyroid-stimulating hormone) receptor (TSHR). TSHR one of few G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) predicted to have signal peptide, making it potential target for cyclotriazadisulfonamide (CADA) compounds. We sought determine whether small-molecule drug that selectively induces nascent protein degradation could decrease expression vitro and vivo at therapeutically relevant...
To evaluate the anti-HIV-1 activity of cyclotriazadisulfonamide CADA against primary isolates in vitro and combination with approved anti-HIV drugs for potential synergy.Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were treated infected 16 different clinical isolates. After 8 days infection, median inhibitory concentration (IC50) was calculated from p24 viral antigen content supernatant.

In eukaryotic cells, surface expression of most type I transmembrane proteins requires translation and simultaneous insertion the precursor protein into endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane for subsequent routing to cell surface. This co-translational translocation pathway is initiated when a hydrophobic N-terminal signal peptide (SP) on nascent emerges from ribosome, binds cytosolic recognition particle (SRP), targets ribosome-nascent chain complex Sec61 translocon, universally conserved...

A highly preorganized, artificial receptor for guanidinium cations binds arginine with high affinity in polar solvents, even water! The X-ray crystal structure of its bis(N-ethylguanidinium) complex shows the formation hydrogen bonds between and guest (see picture). This observation explains strength formed dipeptide diarginine (K(d)=50 µM H(2)O).
In the complexation of neutral organic molecules, preorganization receptors can play a crucial role, as studies on new series hydrogen-bonding demonstrate. The receptor shown in complex right binds guanine derivatives [D6]DMSO/CDCl3 (1/4) with stability constant (Ka) greater than 1.9 × 105 M−1. comparison, more flexible host and same number primary sites is at least 4.1 kcalmol−1 less stable.

Abstract
The largest cycloarene derivative reported so far, the torand 1, is surprisingly readily accessible by CsOH-mediated cyclotrimerization. According to Macromodel calculations, 1 almost planar and binds guanidinium with formation of six ideal hydrogen bonds only slight change in conformation: UV spectra its complex are identical.
