Enzymatic microarchitectures with spatially controlled reactivity, engineered molecular sieving ability, favorable interior environment, and industrial productivity show great potential in synthetic protocellular systems and practical biotechnology, but their construction remains a significant challenge. Here, we proposed a Pickering emulsion interface-directed synthesis method to fabricate such a microreactor, in which a robust and defect-free MOF layer was grown around silica emulsifier stabilized droplet surfaces. The compartmentalized interior droplets can provide a biomimetic microenvironment to host free enzymes, while the outer MOF layer secludes active species from the surroundings and endows the microreactor with size-selective permeability. Impressively, the thus-designed enzymatic microreactor exhibited excellent size selectivity and long-term stability, as demonstrated by a 1000 h continuous-flow reaction, while affording completely equal enantioselectivities to the free enzyme counterpart. Moreover, the catalytic efficiency of such enzymatic microreactors was conveniently regulated through engineering of the type or thickness of the outer MOF layer or interior environments for the enzymes, highlighting their superior customized specialties. This study provides new opportunities in designing MOF-based artificial cellular microreactors for practical applications.

The new approach to the anticancer agent rhizoxin D described herein does not cohere with the conventional logic of metathesis, according to which macrocycles are best closed at a disubstituted olefinic site; rather, the trisubstituted C11?C12 alkene flanked by an allylic -OH group served as the pivot point for synthesis. This motif was attained in good yield and excellent selectivity by a sequence of alkyne metathesis, trans-hydrostannation and cross coupling. Because the exact same substructure is prominently featured in numerous other natural products, the underpinning strategy, though unusual, might bear more general relevance.

A phytochemical investigation on the whole plant of Oxytropis falcata Bunge yielded 16 glycoconjugated compounds with structurally diverse volatile aglycones but similar sugars. Of these, five were previously undescribed compounds with different volatile aglycones but same glucuronic acid (1 → 2) glucosyl moiety, including three octanol glucuronic acid (1 → 2) glucosides (1–3), one acyclic monoterpenoid glucuronic acid (1 → 2) glucoside (4), and one 4-phenyl-butan-2-ol glucuronic acid (1 → 2) glucoside (5), and 11 were biological related known glucoconjugated volatile compounds (6–16) isolated from genus Oxytropis for the first time. The structures of these compounds were determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis of MS, 1D and 2D NMR data. The absolute configurations of aglycones and sugar residues were assigned via enzymatic hydrolysis and subsequently comparison of the specific rotations. This is the first report of such structurally diverse glycoconjugated volatile compounds from O. falcata, which might be regarded as the precursor of free volatile compounds, and presents scientific evidences for better clarifying the volatile compositions of this medicinal plant and genus Oxytropis.
