    Switchable Synthesis of 3‑Substituted 1<i>H</i>‑Indazoles and 3,3-Disubstituted 3<i>H</i>‑Indazole-3-phosphonates Tuned by Phosphoryl Groups

    3-Alkyl/aryl-1<i>H</i>-indazoles and 3-alkyl/aryl-3<i>H</i>-indazole-3-phosphonates were synthesized efficiently through a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between α-substituted α-diazomethylphosphonates and arynes under simple reaction conditions. The product distribution was controlled by the phosphoryl group, which acted both as a tuning group and a traceless group in the reaction

    Synthesis of Chiral 1,1,1-Trifluoro-<i>α,α</i>-disubstituted 2,4-Diketones via Palladium-Catalyzed Asymmetric Allylation

    Trifluoromethyl ketones are important enzyme inhibitors and versatile synthons for the preparation of trifluoromethylated heterocycles and complex molecules. An efficient methodology for the synthesis of chiral 1,1,1-trifluoro-α,α-disubstituted 2,4-diketones via palladium-catalyzed allylation with allyl methyl carbonates under mild conditions has been developed. This method surmounts the major obstacle of detrifluoroacetylation, and a chiral trifluoromethyl ketone library could be rapidly built up from simple substrates in good yields and enantioselectivities, thereby offering a new choice for scientists in pharmaceutical and material industries

    Liposomal Resveratrol Alleviates Platelet Storage Lesion via Antioxidation and the Physical Buffering Effect

    No full text
    Platelet transfusion is essential in the treatment of platelet-related diseases and the prevention of bleeding in patients with surgical procedures. Platelet transfusion efficacy and shelf life are limited mainly by the development of platelet storage lesion (PSL). Mitigating PSL is the key to prolonging the platelet shelf life and reducing wastage. Excess intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) are one of the main factors causing PSL. In this study, we explored a nanomedicine strategy to improve the quality and functions of platelets in storage. Resveratrol (Res), a natural plant product, is known for its antioxidative effect. However, medical applications of Res are limited due to its low water solubility and stability. Therefore, we used a resveratrol-loaded liposomal system (Res-Lipo) to better utilize the antioxidant effect of the drug. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Res-Lipo on platelet oxidative stress and alleviation of PSL during the storage time. Res-Lipo scavenged intracellular ROS and inhibited platelet apoptosis and activation during storage. Res-Lipo not only maintained mitochondrial function but also improved platelet aggregation in response to adenosine 5′-diphosphate. These results revealed that Res-Lipo ameliorated PSL and prolonged the platelet survival time in vivo. The strategy provides a potential method for extending the platelet storage time and might be considered a potential and safe additive to alleviate PSL
