Abstract
A cascade annulation strategy triggered by rhodium(III)-catalyzed C-H activation has been reported for the expeditious assembly of pyrrolidinedione-fused 1,2-benzothiazines from free NH-sulfoximines with maleimides under mild conditions. Without the need for inert atmosphere protection, a broad range of sulfoximines with maleimides were well tolerated, producing diverse fused-thiazine derivatives in moderate to good yields. Additionally, the late-stage transformation of the target product demonstrated the potential synthetic value of this protocol.

Abstract
Azasulfur(vi) compounds such as sulfoximines and sulfonimidamides are attractive due to the unique properties of the S[double bond, length as m-dash]N bond. While the synthesis of these carbon-attached sulfonimidoyl derivatives is well-established, the situation is different for their heteroatom-bound counterparts. In this work, we propose azasulfur(iv) esters as platform chemicals that can be derivatized to obtain all types of SVI[double bond, length as m-dash]N functional groups, among these are the poorly accessible, all-heteroatom imidosulfate esters. Using a chloroamination workflow established here, S-S bond-containing structures such as elemental sulfur or diaryl disulfides can be transformed into imidothionyl or sulfinimidoyl chlorides, which are easily esterified or amidated. Thus, chloramines serve as a versatile [N] and [Cl+] source, and by using them in the context reported here, we advance the set of mild synthetic methods as the latest toolbox member to cover even more of the azasulfur(iv) and (vi) chemical space.

Abstract
Gambogenic acid (GNA), a caged xanthone derived from Garcinia hanburyi, exhibits a wide range of anti-cancer properties. The caged skeleton of GNA serves as the fundamental pharmacophore responsible for its antitumor effects. However, limited exploration has focused on the structural modifications of GNA. This study endeavors to diversify the structure of GNA and enhance its anti-cancer efficacy. Sulfoximines, recognized as pivotal motifs in medicinal chemistry due to their outstanding properties, have featured in several anti-cancer drugs undergoing clinical trials. Accordingly, a series of 33 GNA derivatives combined with sulfoximines were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-cancer effects against MIAPaCa2, MDA-MB-231, and A549 cells in vitro. The activity screening led to the identification of compound 12k, which exhibited the most potent anti-cancer effect. Mechanistic studies revealed that 12k primarily induced pyroptosis in MIAPaCa2 and MDA-MB-231 cells by activating the caspase-3/gasdermin E (GSDME) pathway. These findings suggested that 12k is a promising drug candidate in cancer therapy and highlighted the potential of sulfoximines as a valuable functional group in drug discovery.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202314906.

Abstract
Sulfilimines, as potential aza-isosteres of sulfoxides, are valued as building blocks, auxiliaries, ligands, bioconjugation handles, and as precursors to versatile S(VI) scaffolds including sulfoximines and sulfondiimines. Here, we report a thioether imination methodology that exploits O-(diphenylphosphinyl)hydroxyl amine (DPPH). Under mild, metal-free, and biomolecule-compatible conditions, DPPH enables late-stage S-imination on peptides, natural products, and a clinically trialled drug, and shows both excellent chemoselectivity and broad functional group tolerance. This methodological report is extended to an efficient and high-yielding one-pot reaction for accessing free-NH sulfoximines with diverse substrates including ones of potential clinical importance. In the presence of a rhodium catalyst, sulfoxides are S-iminated in higher yields to afford free-NH sulfoximines. S-imination was validated on an oxidatively delicate amatoxin to give sulfilimine and sulfoximine congeners. Interestingly, these new sulfilimine and sulfoximine-amatoxins show cytotoxicity. This method is further extended to create sulfilimine and sulfoximine-Fulvestrant and buthionine analogues.

Abstract
We report a versatile method for cross-coupling of NH-sulfoximines with (hetero)aryl chlorides, as well as bromide and sulfonate electrophiles, that makes use of the air-stable, commercial precatalyst (PhPAd-DalPhos)Ni(o-tol)Cl. Under optimized conditions a diverse electrophile scope is established, including the N-arylation of the pharmaceutical Clozapine. While 5 mol % Ni and 80 °C are commonly employed in this chemistry, successful examples utilizing 1 mol % Ni and/or 25 °C are presented. Competition experiments establish the superiority of NH-sulfoximine over primary sulfonamide as nucleophiles under these conditions.

Abstract
Sulfur(VI) fluoride exchange, a new type of linkage reaction, has excellent potential for application in functional molecule linkage to prepare pharmaceuticals, biomolecules, and polymers. Herein, a C-SuFEx reaction is established to achieve fast (in minutes) linkage between sulfonimidoyl fluorides and aryl/alkyl organotrifluoroborates. Potassium organotrifluoroborates are instantaneously activated via a substoichiometric amount of trimethylsilyl triflate to afford organodifluoroboranes, releasing BF3 as an activating reagent in situ. This sulfur(VI) fluoride exchange technique is capable of forming S(VI)-C(alkyl), S(VI)-C(alkenyl) and S(VI)-C(aryl) bonds, demonstrating its broad scope. Natural products and pharmaceuticals with sensitive functional groups, such as valdecoxib, celecoxib and diacetonefructose, are compatible with this protocol, allowing the formation of diverse sulfoximines.

Abstract
Sulfoximines make up a class of compounds of growing interest for crop science and medicinal chemistry, but methods for directly incorporating them into complex molecular scaffolds are lacking. Here we report a scandium-catalyzed variant of the aza-Piancatelli cyclization that can directly incorporate sulfoximines as nucleophiles rather than the classical aniline substrates. Starting from 2-furylcarbinols and sulfoximines, the reaction provides direct access to 4-sulfoximinocyclopentenones, a new scaffold bearing cyclopentenone and sulfoximine motifs, both of interest for bioactive compounds.

Abstract
The design of bioisosteres represents a creative and productive approach to improve a molecule, including by enhancing potency, addressing pharmacokinetic challenges, reducing off-target liabilities, and productively modulating physicochemical properties. Bioisosterism is a principle exploited in the design of bioactive compounds of interest to both medicinal and agricultural chemists, and in this review, we provide a synopsis of applications where this kind of molecular editing has proved to be advantageous in molecule optimization. The examples selected for discussion focus on bioisosteres of carboxylic acids, applications of fluorine and fluorinated motifs in compound design, some applications of the sulfoximine functionality, the design of bioisosteres of drug-H2O complexes, and the design of bioisosteres of the phenyl ring.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is an aggressive type of leukaemia with low rates of long-term survival. While the current standard of care is based on cytotoxic chemotherapy, a promising emerging approach is differentiation therapy. However, most current differentiating agents target specific mutations and are effective only in certain patient subtypes. To identify agents which may be effective in wider population cohorts, we performed a phenotypic screen with the myeloid marker CD11b and identified a compound series that was able to differentiate AML cell lines in vitro regardless of their mutation status. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed that replacing the formamide and catechol methyl ether groups with sulfonamide and indazole respectively improved the in vitro metabolic profile of the series while maintaining the differentiation profile in multiple cell lines. This optimisation exercise enabled progression of a lead compound to in vivo efficacy testing. Our work supports the promise of phenotypic screening to identify novel small molecules that induce differentiation in a wide range of AML subtypes.

The key precursors, free NH sulfoximines 9 were readily prepared by the treatment of N-boc-3-methylthioindoles 8 with a combination of IBD and ammonium carbamate. Under similar conditions NH-free indolylsulfoximine 9a was successfully prepared in gram-scale quantities. The reaction is highly chemoselective and tolerant of a wide range of functional groups. The process is environmentally friendly and is amenable to scale-up. Among the prepared N-arylated indolylsulfoximines 11a-m, compounds 11i-j (2.68-2.76 μM), 11f-g (1.9-3.7 μM) and 11k (1.28 μM) showed potent and selective cytotoxicity against 22Rv1, C4-2 and MCF7 cells, respectively. Indolylsulfoximine derivative 11l displayed a broad spectrum of activity (1.7-8.2 μM) against the tested cancer cell lines. These compounds were found to be non-cytotoxic to normal HEK293 cells, indicating their potential selectivity for cancer cells. We analysed the impact of 11l on various cellular assays to uncover its mechanism of action. Cellular assay shows that 11l increases the endogenous level of ROS, leading to the increased level of p-53 and c-jun inducing apoptosis. 11l also induced mitochondrial dysfunction, further promoting apoptotic pathways. Besides, 11l also restricts cell invasiveness, indicating that it could serve as an effective anti-metastatic agent. As oxidative stress severe F actin causing tubulin depolymerization, we examined the impact of 11l on tubulin dynamics. Accordingly, 11l treatment decreased the levels of polymerized tubulin in 22Rv1 and C4-2 cells. Although future studies are needed to determine their exact molecular target(s), our data shows that N-aryl indolylsulfoximines could serve as effective anti-cancer agents.

Abstract
In this study, we report the synthesis of unsubstituted 1,2-benzothiazines through a redox-neutral Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H activation and [4+2]-annulation of S-aryl sulfoximines with vinylene carbonate. Notably, the introduction of an N-protected amino acid ligand significantly enhances the reaction rate. The key aspect of this redox-neutral process is the utilization of vinylene carbonate as an oxidizing acetylene surrogate and an efficient vinylene transfer agent. This vinylene carbonate enables the cyclization with the sulfoximine motifs, successfully forming a diverse array of 1,2-benzothiazine derivatives in moderate to good yields. Importantly, this study highlights the potential of Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H activation and [4+2]-annulation reactions for the synthesis of optically pure 1,2-benzothiazines with high enantiomeric purity.

Abstract
Colloidal drug aggregates enable the design of drug-rich nanoparticles; however, the efficacy of stabilized colloidal drug aggregates is limited by entrapment in the endo-lysosomal pathway. Although ionizable drugs are used to elicit lysosomal escape, this approach is hindered by toxicity associated with phospholipidosis. It is hypothesized that tuning the pKa of the drug would enable endosomal disruption while avoiding phospholipidosis and minimizing toxicity. To test this idea, 12 analogs of the nonionizable colloidal drug fulvestrant are synthesized with ionizable groups to enable pH-dependent endosomal disruption while maintaining bioactivity. Lipid-stabilized fulvestrant analog colloids are endocytosed by cancer cells, and the pKa of these ionizable colloids influenced the mechanism of endosomal and lysosomal disruption. Four fulvestrant analogs-those with pKa values between 5.1 and 5.7-disrupted endo-lysosomes without measurable phospholipidosis. Thus, by manipulating the pKa of colloid-forming drugs, a tunable and generalizable strategy for endosomal disruption is established.

Abstract
BCR-ABL1 kinase is a key driver of the pathophysiology of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Current treatments need to broaden the chemical diversity of BCR-ABL1 kinase inhibitors to overcome drug resistance. We designed and synthesized a series of aromatic amide derivatives based on several generations of BCR-ABL1 kinase inhibitors. Biological studies showed that compared with Imatinib, these compounds showed significant proliferation inhibitory activities of HL-60 and K562 in cell activity assay. Compounds 4g and 4j exhibited significant anti-tumor activity against the K562 cells with IC50 values of 6.03 ± 0.49 μM and 5.66 ± 2.06 μM respectively. Compounds 4g and 4j, as potential BCR-ABL1 inhibitors, inhibit the phosphorylation of ABL1 and CRKL in a dose-dependent manner. Therefore, compounds 4g and 4j can be used as a starting point for further optimization.

Abstract
Transition metal-catalyzed enantioselective C-H activation of prochiral sulfoximines for non-annulated products remains a formidable challenge. We herein report iridium-catalyzed enantioselective C-H borylation of N-silyl diaryl sulfoximines using a well-designed chiral bidentate boryl ligand with a bulky side arm. This method is capable of accommodating a broad range of substrates under mild reaction conditions, affording a vast array of chiral sulfoximines with high enantioselectivities. We also demonstrated the synthetic utility on a preparative-scale C-H borylation for diverse downstream transformations, including the synthesis of chiral version of bioactive molecules. Computational studies showed that the bulky side arm of the ligand confers high regio- and enantioselectivity through steric effect.

Abstract
The development of NH transfer reactions using hypervalent iodine and simple sources of ammonia has facilitated the synthesis of sulfoximines and sulfonimidamides for applications across the chemical sciences. Perhaps most notably, the methods have been widely applied in medicinal chemistry and in the preparation of biologically active compounds, including in the large-scale preparation of an API intermediate. This review provides an overview of the development of these synthetic methods involving an intermediate iodonitrene since our initial report in 2016 on the conversion of sulfoxides into sulfoximines. This review covers the NH transfer to sulfoxides and sulfinamides, and the simultaneous NH/O transfer to sulfides and sulfenamides to form sulfoximines and sulfonimidamides, respectively. The mechanism of the reactions and the identification of key intermediates are discussed. Developments in the choice of reagents, and in the reaction conditions and setups used are described.

Abstract
It is well known that reduced gastric acidity, for example with concomitant administration of acid reducing agents, can result in variable pharmacokinetics and decreased absorption of weakly basic drugs. It is important to identify the risk of reduced and variable absorption early in development, so that product design options to address the risk can be considered. This article describes the utilization of in vitro and in silico tools to predict the effect of gastric pH, as well as the impact of adding pH modifiers, in mitigating the effect of acid reducing agents on weak base drugs' dissolution and absorption. Palbociclib, a weakly basic drug, was evaluated in low and high gastric pH conditions in a multicompartmental dissolution apparatus referred to as a gastrointestinal simulator (GIS). The GIS permits the testing of pharmaceutical products in a way that better assesses dissolution under physiologically relevant conditions of pH, buffer concentration, formulation additives, and physiological variations including GI pH, buffer concentrations, secretions, stomach emptying rate, residence time in the GI, and aqueous luminal volume. To predict drug dissolution in the GIS, a hierarchical mass transport model was used and validated using in vitro experimental data. Dissolution results were then compared to observed human clinical plasma data with and without proton pump inhibitors using a GastroPlus absorption model to predict palbociclib plasma profiles and pharmacokinetic parameters. The results showed that the in silico model successfully predicted palbociclib dissolution in the GIS under low and high gastric pH conditions with and without pH modifiers. Furthermore, the GIS data coupled with the in silico tools anticipated (1) the reduced palbociclib exposure due to proton pump inhibitor coadministration and (2) the mitigating effect of a pH-modifying agent. This study provides tools to help in the development of orally administered formulations to overcome the effect of elevated gastric pH, especially when formulating with pH modifiers.

Abstract
A copper-catalyzed protocol furnishing N-arylated sulfoximines has been developed via dual N-H/C-H activation. Arylalkyl- and less reactive diarylsulfoximines were efficiently coupled with privileged scaffolds like indolines, indoles, and N-Ar-7-azaindoles. Sulfoximines based on medicinally relevant scaffolds (phenothiazine, dibenzothiophene, thioxanthenone) were also well tolerated. Detailed mechanistic studies indicate that the deprotometalation and protodemetalation step is the reversible step.

Abstract
The growing interest in novel sulfur pharmacophores led to recent advances in the synthesis of some S(IV) and S(VI) motifs. However, preparation and isolation of uncommon primary sulfinamidines, the aza-analogues of sulfinamides, is highly desirable. Here we report a multistep continuous flow synthesis of poorly explored NH2 -sulfinamidines by nucleophilic attack of organometallic reagents to in situ prepared N-(trimethylsilyl)-N-trityl-λ4 -sulfanediimine (Tr-N=S=N-TMS). The transformation can additionally be realized under mild conditions, at room temperature, via a highly chemoselective halogen-lithium exchange of aryl bromides and iodides with n-butyllithium. Moreover, the synthetic potential of the methodology was assessed by exploring further manipulations of the products and accessing novel S(IV) analogues of celecoxib, tasisulam, and relevant sulfinimidoylureas.

Abstract
Janus kinases (JAKs) are involved in a wide variety of cell signaling associated with T-cell and B-cell mediated diseases. The pathogenesis of common lymphoid-derived diseases and leukemia cancer has been implicated in JAK2 and JAK3. Therefore, to decrease the risk of these diseases, targeting this pathway using JAK2/3 inhibitors could serve as a valuable research tool. Herein, we used a combination of the computational and biological approaches to identify the quinoxalinone-based dual inhibitors of JAK2/3. First, an in-house library of 49 quinoxalinones was screened by molecular docking. Then, the inhibitory activities of 17 screened compounds against both JAKs as well as against two human erythroleukemia cell lines, TF1 and HEL were examined. The obtained results revealed that several quinoxalinones could potentially inhibit JAK2/3, and among them, ST4j showed strong inhibition against JAKs with the IC50 values of 13.00 ± 1.31 nM for JAK2 and 14.86 ± 1.29 nM for JAK3, which are better than ruxolitinib and tofacitinib. In addition, ST4j potentially inhibited TF1 cells (IC50 of 15.53 ± 0.82 μM) and HEL cells (IC50 of 17.90 ± 1.36 μM), similar to both tofacitinib ruxolitinib. Mechanistically, ST4j inhibited JAK2 autophosphorylation and induced cell apoptosis in dose- and time-dependent manners. From molecular dynamics simulations, ST4j was mainly stabilized by van der Waals interactions, and its hydroxyl group could form hydrogen bonds in the hinge region at residues S936 and R938 of JAK2. This research highlights the potential of ST4j to be a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of lymphoid-derived diseases and leukemia cancer.

Abstract
Piperazine and homopiperazine are well-studied heterocycles in drug design that have found gainful application as scaffolds and terminal elements and for enhancing the aqueous solubility of a molecule. The optimization of drug candidates that incorporate these heterocycles in an effort to refine potency, selectivity, and developability properties has stimulated the design and evaluation of a wide range of bioisosteres that can offer advantage. In this review, we summarize the design and application of bioisosteres of piperazine and homopiperazine that have almost exclusively been in the drug design arena. While there are ∼100 approved drugs that incorporate a piperazine ring, only a single marketed agricultural product is built on this heterocycle. As part of the review, we discuss some of the potential reasons underlying the relatively low level of importance of this heterocycle to the design of agrochemicals and highlight the potential opportunities for their use in contemporary research programs.

Abstract
Sulfonimidoyl halides have previously shown poor stability and selectivity in reaction with organometallic reagents. Here we report the preparation of enantioenriched sulfonimidoyl fluorides and their stereospecific reaction at sulfur with Grignard reagents. Notably the first enantioenriched alkyl sulfonimidoyl fluorides are prepared, including methyl. The nature of the N-group is important to the success of the stereocontrolled sequence to sulfoximines.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sulfur-containing functional groups are privileged motifs that occur in various pharmacologically effective substances and several natural products. Various functionalities are found with a sulfur atom at diverse oxidation states, as illustrated by thioether, sulfoxide, sulfone, sulfonamide, sulfamate, and sulfamide functions. They are valuable scaffolds in the field of medicinal chemistry and are part of a large array of approved drugs and clinical candidates. AREA COVERED Herein, the authors review the current research on the development of organosulfur-based drug discovery. This article also covers details of their roles in the new lead compounds reported in the literature over the past five years 2017-2021. EXPERT OPINION Given its prominent role in medicinal chemistry and its importance in drug discovery, sulfur has attracted continuing interest and has been used in the design of various valuable compounds that demonstrate a variety of biological and pharmacological feature activities. Overall, sulfur's role in medicinal chemistry continues to grow. However, many sulfur functionalities remain underused in small-molecule drug discovery and deserve special attention in the armamentarium for treating diverse diseases. Research efforts are also still required for the development of a synthetic methodology for direct access to these functions and late-stage functionalization.

Abstract
This study applies the ‘Flexible-Acceptor’ variant of the General Solubility Equation, GSE(Φ,B), to the prediction of the aqueous intrinsic solubility, log10S0, of FDA recently-approved (2016–2020) ‘small-molecule’ new molecular entities (NMEs). The novel equation had been shown to predict the solubility of drugs beyond Lipinski’s ‘Rule of 5’ chemical space (bRo5) to a precision nearly matching that of the Random Forest Regression (RFR) machine learning method. Since then, it was found that the GSE(Φ,B) appears to work well not only for bRo5 NMEs, but also for Ro5 drugs. To put context to GSE(Φ,B), Yalkowsky’s GSE(classic), Abraham’s ABSOLV, and Breiman’s RFR models were also applied to predict log10 S0 of 72 newly-approve NMEs, for which useable reported solubility values could be accessed (nearly 60% from FDA New Drug Application published reports). Except for GSE (classic), the prediction models were retrained with an enlarged version of the Wiki-pS0 database (nearly 400 added log10 S0 entries since our recent previous study). Thus, these four models were further validated by the additional independent solubility measurements which the newly-approved drugs introduced. The prediction methods ranked RFR ~ GSE (Φ,B) > ABSOLV > GSE (classic) in performance. It was further demonstrated that the biases generated in the four separate models could be nearly eliminated in a consensus model based on the average of just two of the methods: GSE (Φ,B) and ABSOLV. The resulting consensus prediction equation is simple in form and can be easily incorporated into spreadsheet calculations. Even more significant, it slightly outperformed the RFR method.

Abstract
The occurrence of sulfoximines and sulfonimidoyl groups in biologically active molecules within pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals has notably increased in the past decade. This increase has prompted a wave of discovery of methods to install S(VI) functionality into complex organic molecules. Traditional synthetic methods to form α-substituted sulfonimidoyl motifs rely on S-C bond disconnections and typically require control of the stereogenic S-centre or late-stage modification at sulfur, and comprise multistep routes. Here, we report the development of a stereospecific, modular SNAr approach for the introduction of sulfonimidoyl functional groups into heterocyclic cores. This strategy has been demonstrated across 85 examples, in good to excellent yield, of complex and diverse heterocycles. Sulfoximines, sulfonimidamides and sulfondiimines are all compatible nucleophiles in the SNAr reaction and hence, the methodology was applied to the synthesis of four sulfoximine-containing pharmaceuticals. Of these synthetic applications, most notably ceralasertib, an ATR inhibitor currently in clinical trials, was synthesized in an eight-step procedure on a gram-scale.

Abstract
Chiral sulfoximines have recently been considered as promising bioisosteres in medicinal chemistry. However, methods for preparing chiral sulfoximines in a stereoselective manner are underdeveloped. Herein, we demonstrate an asymmetric synthesis of chiral sulfoximines through a stereospecific S-alkylation of readily accessible chiral sulfinamides under practical conditions. A key to establishing the practical conditions was the identification of the intermediate structure in our previously reported S-alkylation by X-ray crystallographic analysis.

Abstract
![]()
Sulfonimidamides
(SIAs) and sulfoximines (SOIs) have attracted
attention due to their potential in agriculture and in medicinal chemistry
as bioisosteres of biologically active compounds, and new synthetic
methods are needed to access and explore these compounds. Herein,
we present a light-promoted generation of perfluorinated aromatic
nitrenes, from perfluorinated azides, that subsequently are allowed
to react with sulfinamides and sulfoxides, generating achiral and
chiral SIAs and SOIs. One of the enantiopure SIAs was evaluated as
a novel chiral auxiliary in Grignard additions to the imines yielding
the product in up to 96:4 diastereomeric ratio.

Abstract
A facile access to highly fused tetracyclic indeno-1,2-benzothiazines has been established via a Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H bond activation and intramolecular annulation cascade between sulfoximides and all-carbon diazo indandiones. This strategy is characterized by the fact that the diazo coupling partners do not require preactivation, along with its high efficiency, broad substrate generality, and facile transformation. Particularly, the highly conjugated tetracyclic products demonstrate good optical properties and can easily enter cells to emit bright fluorescence for live cell imaging.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most aggressive type of blood cancer, and there is a continued need for new treatments that are well tolerated and improve long-term survival rates in patients. Induction of differentiation has emerged as a promising alternative to conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy, but known agents lack efficacy in genetically distinct patient populations. Previously, we established a phenotypic screen to identify small molecules that could stimulate differentiation in a range of AML cell lines. Utilising this strategy, a 1,5-dihydrobenzo[e][1,4]oxazepin-2(3H)-one hit compound was identified. Herein, we report the hit validation in vitro, structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies and the pharmacokinetic profiles for selected compounds.

Abstract
Herein, we report an efficient electrochemical method for the synthesis of N-alkylated sulfoximines by electrochemical oxidative C(sp3)-H/N-H coupling of sulfoximines and diarylmethanes. In addition, we used the same conditions for electrochemical dehydrogenative amination of diarylmethanes with benzophenone imine as an aminating agent. The reactions showed good functional group tolerance and afforded the corresponding products in moderate to good yields without the use of a stoichiometric oxidant, a metal catalyst, or an activating agent.

Abstract
In the pursuit of new pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, chemists in the life science industry require access to mild and robust synthetic methodologies to systematically modify chemical structures, explore novel chemical space, and enable efficient synthesis. In this context, photocatalysis has emerged as a powerful technology for the synthesis of complex and often highly functionalized molecules. This Review aims to summarize the published contributions to the field from the life science industry, including research from industrial-academic partnerships. An overview of the synthetic methodologies developed and strategic applications in chemical synthesis, including peptide functionalization, isotope labeling, and both DNA-encoded and traditional library synthesis, is provided, along with a summary of the state-of-the-art in photoreactor technology and the effective upscaling of photocatalytic reactions.

Abstract
We have reported an efficient and metal-free method for the construction of α-diarylmethine imino sulfanone using acid-catalyzed 1,6-conjugate addition of sulfoximines on para-quinine methides (p-QMs). This method showed broad functional group tolerance and a wide range of substrate scope with good to excellent yield. The excellent protocol exhibits mild reaction conditions with high atom economy. The practicability of the present method was supported by a Gram-scale reaction.

Abstract
Selective inhibition of exclusively transcription-regulating positive transcription elongation factor b/CDK9 is a promising new approach in cancer therapy. Starting from atuveciclib, the first selective CDK9 inhibitor to enter clinical development, lead optimization efforts aimed at identifying intravenously (iv) applicable CDK9 inhibitors with an improved therapeutic index led to the discovery of the highly potent and selective clinical candidate VIP152. The evaluation of various scaffold hops was instrumental in the identification of VIP152, which is characterized by the underexplored benzyl sulfoximine group. VIP152 exhibited the best preclinical overall profile in vitro and in vivo, including high efficacy and good tolerability in xenograft models in mice and rats upon once weekly iv administration. VIP152 has entered clinical trials for the treatment of cancer with promising longterm, durable monotherapy activity in double-hit diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients.
