Functional sugars have unique structural and physiological characteristics with applied
perspectives for modern biomedical and biotechnological sectors, such as biomedicine …

The bengamides comprise an interesting family of natural products isolated from sponges
belonging to the prolific Jaspidae family. Their outstanding antitumor properties, coupled …

The desired control of particle size, doping element composition, and surface structure of
carbon dots (CDs) are vital for understanding the fluorescence mechanism and exploring …

In this study, gene YALI0F01650g has been isolated and characterized. Several
experimental evidences suggest that the identified gene, renamed EYD1, encodes an …

The bengamides, sponge‐derived natural products that have been characterized as
inhibitors of methionine aminopeptidases (MetAPs), have been intensively investigated as …

Sponges corresponding to the Jaspidae family have proved to be a prolific source of
bioactive natural products. Among these, the bengamides and the bengazoles stand out by …

A full account of our efforts toward the stereoselective total synthesis of sesquiterpenoid-
derived natural products (±)-pleurospiroketals A and B is described. Commercially available …

The autoxidative condensation of 2-aryl-2-lithio-1, 3-dithianes is here reported. Treatment of
2-aryl-1, 3-dithianes with n-BuLi in the absence of any electrophile leads to condensation of …

An enantiospecific total synthesis of indole alkaloids eburnamonine, aspidospermidine and
quebrachamine is described from lactic acid. Synthesis of all three alkaloids is …

With the objective of investigating the influence of structural modifications of the polyketide
chain of the bengamides upon their antitumoral activities, we targeted the preparation of …
