Inactivation of S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase with fluorinated analogs of 2'- and 3'-deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine

Construction of unique SCF3-containing building blocks via allylic alkylation of Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts

Lewis base-catalyzed allylic alkylation of Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts with α-SCF3 ketones has been demonstrated. The developed strategy provides efficient access to a series of highly functionalized scaffolds featuring trifluoromethanesufinyl motif on a stereogenic carbon.

2-Trifluoromethylthiolation of glycals

The direct 2-trifluoromethylthiolation of glycals has been realized for the first time, benefiting the carbohydrate-based drug discovery.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel human 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) substrates

The structure-based design, chemical synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel MTAP substrates are described. These compounds incorporate various C5'-moieties and are shown to have different k(cat)/K(m) values compared with the natural MTAP substrate (MTA).
