Syntheses of the reported structures of kealiinines B and C have been executed. An intermolecular electrophile-induced cyclization of a pendant arene on an ene-guanidine affords the tetracyclic, oxidized naphthimidazole cores.

A simple and straightforward synthetic approach to potential anti-infective thiolactone-isatin hybrids led to the discovery of novel tetracyclic compounds which bear a macrocylic motif containing an unusual bridged amide bond.

During efforts to prepare the known compound , a new tetracyclic compound, called VG1, was prepared in six steps. This compound was found to have good activity as an inhibitor of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.

The fragmentation patterns of nine di-, tri- and tetracyclic hydroquinones with potential antitumor activity were rationalized by invoking competing mechanisms that included sterically accelerated homolytic cleavage, Meerwein-type rearrangements and dehydrations through elimination or intramolecular nucleophilic substitution.

a graph is textit{symmetric}, if its automorphism group is transitive on the set of its arcs. in this paper, we  classifyall the connected cubic symmetric  graphs of order $36p$  and $36p^{2}$, for each prime $p$, of which the proof depends on the classification of finite simple groups.

The synthesis of five new tetracyclic benzopsoralen analogues, compounds 2-6, with 9H-xanthen-9-one or 9H-carbazole frameworks, is described. Their inhibitory effects on the growth of three human tumor cell lines (MCF-7, SF-268, and NCI-460) were evaluated, and discussed in terms of structure-activity relationship, taking into account both geometric and electronic features. Generally, the angul...

A copolymer donor PBDTTPTP based on a tetracyclic bislactone unit, thieno[2',3':5,6]pyrano[3,4-d]thieno[3,2-b]pyran-4,9-dione (TPTP), was developed. The single crystal structure of TPTP derivative indicates the π-extended planar geometry and...

Tetracyclines are aromatic polyketides biosynthesized by bacterial type II polyketide synthases. The amidated tetracycline backbone is biosynthesized by the minimal polyketide synthases and an amidotransferase homologue OxyD. Biosynthesis of the key intermediate 6-methylpretetramid requires two early tailoring steps, which are cyclization of the linearly fused tetracyclic scaffold and regiosele...
