Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the USA. CRC is initiated by mutations of the tumor suppressor gene, adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), or β-catenin gene. These mutations stabilize β-catenin and constitutively activate Wnt/β-catenin target genes, such as c-Myc and cyclin D1, ultimately leading to cancer. Naturally occurring stilbene derivatives, resveratrol and pterostilbene, inhibit Wnt signaling and repress CRC cell proliferation but are ineffective at concentrations less than 10 μM. To understand the structure-activity relationship within these stilbene derivatives and to develop more efficacious Wnt inhibitors than these natural products, we synthesized and evaluated a panel of fluorinated N,N-dialkylaminostilbenes. Among this panel, (E)-4-(2,6-difluorostyryl)-N,N-dimethylaniline (4r) inhibits Wnt signaling at nanomolar levels and inhibits the growth of human CRC cell xenografts in athymic nude mice at a dosage of 20 mg/kg. These fluorinated N,N-dialkylaminostilbenes appear to inhibit Wnt signaling downstream of β-catenin, probably at the transcriptional level.

Stereoselective alkyne semihydrogenations are attractive approaches to alkenes, which are key building blocks for synthesis. With regards to the most atom-economic reducing agent dihydrogen (H2), only few catalysts for the challenging E-selective alkyne semihydrogenation have been disclosed, each with a unique substrate scope profile. Here, we show that a commercially available nickel catalyst facilitates the E-selective alkyne semihydrogenation of a wide variety of substituted internal alkynes. This results in a simple and broadly applicable overall protocol to stereoselectively access E-alkenes employing H2, which could serve as a general method for synthesis.

Self-assembled multilayer iron(0) nanoparticles (NPs, 6-10 nm), namely, sulfur-modified Au-supported Fe(0) [SAFe(0)], were developed for ligand-free one-pot carbon-carbon/carbon-nitrogen bond-forming reactions. SAFe(0) was successfully prepared using a well-established metal-nanoparticle catalyst preparative protocol by simultaneous in situ metal NP and nanospace organization (PSSO) with 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-dihydropyrazine (Si-DHP) as a strong reducing agent. SAFe(0) was easy to handle in air and could be recycled with a low iron-leaching rate in reaction cycles.
