A series of bulky organometallic and organic analogues the bromodomain (BRD) inhibitor (+)-JQ1 have been prepared. The most potent, N-[(adamantan-1-yl)methyl]-2-[(9S)-7-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,5,13-trimethyl-3-thia-1,8,11,12-tetraazatricyclo[8.3.0.02,6]trideca-2(6),4,7,10,12-pentaen-9-yl]acetamide, 2e, showed excellent potency with an KD=ca. 130 nm vs. BRD4(1) a ca. 2-fold selectivity over BRD4(2) (...

A new C11-norisoprenoid derivative, sargassumone (1), has been isolated from Sargassum naozhouense together with six known norisoprenoids and a highly oxygenated cyclopentene: (2R,6S,8S,9S)-hexahydro-2,9-dihydroxy-4,4,8-trimethyl-6-acetyloxy-3(2H)-benzofuranone (2), (6S,8S,9R)-hexahydro-6,9-dihydroxy-4,4,8-trimethyl-2(2H)-benzofuranone (3), (6S,8S,9R)-hexahydro-6,9-dihydroxy-4,4,8-trimethyl-2(2...
