Lester C, Li J, Passang T, Wang Y, Waller E, Blakey S
Int J Mol Sci . 2024 Apr; 25(8). PMID: 38673976
Antagonist peptides (ANTs) of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide receptors (VIP-Rs) are shown to enhance T cell activation and proliferation in vitro, as well as improving T cell-dependent anti-tumor response in acute...

Org Lett . 2023 Feb; 25(9):1397-1402. PMID: 36848497
Here, we report an efficient and modular approach toward the formation of difluorinated arylethylamines from simple aldehyde-derived -dialkylhydrazones and trifluoromethylarenes (CF-arenes). This method relies on selective C-F bond cleavage via...

Maust M, Hendy C, Jui N, Blakey S
J Am Chem Soc . 2022 Feb; 144(9):3776-3781. PMID: 35200024
Controlling the regioselectivity of radical cyclizations to favor the 6- mode over its kinetically preferred 5- counterpart is difficult without introducing substrate prefunctionalization. To address this challenge, we have developed...

Shi Q, Shi X, Feng C, Wu Y, Zheng N, Liu J, et al.
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl . 2020 Oct; 60(6):2924-2928. PMID: 33107179
Synthetic routes for heteroatom-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (H-PAHs) with alkyl and aryl substitution are demonstrated. Three H-PAHs, including heteroatom-containing rubicenes (H-rubicenes), angular-benzothiophenes (ABTs), and indenothiophene (IDTs) were successfully synthesized by...
