A novel Povarov-type reaction for straightforward synthesis of novel spiro bi-tetrahydroquinolines with readily available 1,2-DHQs (1,2-dihydroquinolines) and aromatic imines was developed. The reaction could be selectively stopped at the first stage under a Bronsted acid catalyst to afford the corresponding functionalized 1,2-DHQs conveniently.
An exceptionally simple and environmentally friendly methodology has been developed for directly functionalizing the benzylic C-H bond of the poly-substituted pyridines with aromatic imines. Simple Bronsted acid catal...

An exceptionally simple and environmentally friendly methodology has been developed for directly functionalizing the benzylic C-H bond of the poly-substituted pyridines with aromatic imines. Simple Bronsted acid catalysts including salicylic acid and TsOH were successfully employed. Different types of poly-substituted pyridines could be efficiently obtained with moderate yields. Traditional ways to such types of pyridines involved the aromatization of the corresponding Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridines, while this method greatly simplified the synthetic procedures.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by persistent joint inflammation leading to bone and cartilage damage and even disability. However, the pathogenesis of RA is multi-factorial and to a large degree, remains unknown. Danggui Sini decoction (DSD), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula, has been widely used as a remedy for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in recent years. In our study, H-1-nuclear magnetic resonance (H-1 NMR) based metabolomics analysis of 7 potential biomarkers, including taurine (1), urea (2), betaine (3), pyruvate (4), hippurate (5), succinate (6) and acetone (7) was performed to investigate the progression of RA and assess the efficacy of DSD in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rats. According to pathway analysis using identified metabolites and correlation construction, taurine and hypotaurine metabolism, gut microbiota metabolism, pyruvate metabolism, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, the citrate cycle (TCA cycle) and lipid metabolism were recognized as being the most influenced metabolic pathways associated with RA. As a result, deviations of metabolites 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 in CIA rats were improved by DSD, which suggested that DSD mediated the abnormal metabolic pathways synergistically. In summary, the efficacy and its underlying therapeutic mechanisms of DSD on RA were systematically investigated and expect to provide a new insight in relevant studies of other TCM formulas.
