Ferroptosis is a regulated and iron-dependent cell death. Ferroptosis inhibitors are promising for treating many neurological diseases. Herein, with phenotypic assays, we discovered a new diphenylbutene derivative ferroptosis inhibitor, DPT. Based on this hit, we synthesized fourteen new diphenylbutene derivatives, evaluated their ferroptosis inhibitory activities in HT22 mouse hippocampal neuronal cells, and found that three compounds exhibited improved inhibitory activities compared with DPT. Among these active compounds, compound 3f displayed the most potent anti-ferroptosis activity (EC50 = 1.7 μM). Further studies demonstrated that 3f is a specific ferroptosis inhibitor. And we revealed that different from the classic ferroptosis inhibitors, 3f blocked ferroptosis by increasing FSP1 protein level. Moreover, 3f can penetrate blood-brain barrier (BBB). In a rat model of ischemic stroke, 3f effectively mitigated cerebral ischemic injury. Therefore, we are confirmed that 3f, as a novel ferroptosis inhibitor with a new scaffold, is promising for further development as an agent against neurological diseases.

The invention discloses a method for preparing olefine aldehyde by catalyzing terminal alkyne or terminal conjugated eneyne and a diphosphine ligand used in the method. According to the invention, indole-substituted phosphoramidite diphosphine ligand which is stable in air and insensitive to light is synthesized by utilizing a continuous one-pot method, and the indole-substituted phosphoramidite diphosphine ligand and a rhodium catalyst are used for jointly catalyzing to successfully achieve a hydroformylation reaction of aromatic terminal alkyne and terminal conjugated eneyne under the condition of synthesis gas for the first time, so that an olefine aldehyde structure compound can be rapidly and massively prepared, and particularly, a polyolefine aldehyde structure compound which is more difficult to synthesize in the prior art can be easily prepared and synthesized, and a novel method is provided for synthesis and modification of drug molecules, intermediates and chemical products.

Sustainable production of fine chemicals and biofuels from renewable biomass offers a potential alternative to the continued use of finite geological oil reserves. However, in order to compete with current petrochemical refinery processes, alternative biorefinery processes must overcome significant costs and productivity barriers. Herein, we demonstrate the biocatalytic production of the versatile chemical building block, coniferol, for the first time, directly from lignocellulosic biomass. Following the biocatalytic treatment of lignocellulose to release and convert ferulic acid with feruloyl esterase (XynZ), carboxylic acid reductase (CAR) and aldo-keto reductase (AKR), this whole cell catalytic cascade not only achieved equivalent release of ferulic acid from lignocellulose compared to alkaline hydrolysis, but also displayed efficient conversion of ferulic acid to coniferol. This system represents a consolidated biodegradation-biotransformation strategy for the production of high value fine chemicals from waste plant biomass, offering the potential to minimize environmental waste and add value to agro-industrial residues.
