Synthesis and bioevaluation of novel stilbene-based derivatives as tubulin/HDAC dual-target inhibitors with potent antitumor activities in vitro and in vivo (2023)
Journal Article
Zhu, H., Zhu, W., Liu, Y., Gao, T., Zhu, J., Tan, Y., …Xu, S. (2023). Synthesis and bioevaluation of novel stilbene-based derivatives as tubulin/HDAC dual-target inhibitors with potent antitumor activities in vitro and in vivo. European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 257, Article 115529. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejmech.2023.115529

A series of novel stilbene-based derivatives were designed and synthesized as tubulin/HDAC dual-target inhibitors. Among forty-three target compounds, compound II-19k not only exhibited considerable antiproliferative activity in the hematological cel...

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Novel Hybrids Containing Dihydrochalcone as Tyrosinase Inhibitors to Treat Skin Hyperpigmentation (2023)
Journal Article
Xue, S., Li, Z., Ze, X., Wu, X., He, C., Shuai, W., …Xu, S. (2023). Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Novel Hybrids Containing Dihydrochalcone as Tyrosinase Inhibitors to Treat Skin Hyperpigmentation. Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 66(7), 5099–5117. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jmedchem.3c00012

Excessive melanin deposition may lead to a series of skin disorders. The production of melanin is carried out by melanocytes, in which the enzyme tyrosinase performs a key role. In this work, we identified a series of novel tyrosinase inhibitor hybri...

Discovery of Norbornene as a Novel Hydrophobic Tag Applied in Protein Degradation (2023)
Journal Article
Xie, S., Zhan, F., Zhu, J., Sun, Y., Zhu, H., Liu, J., …Xu, S. (2023). Discovery of Norbornene as a Novel Hydrophobic Tag Applied in Protein Degradation. Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 62(13), Article e202217246. https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.202217246

Hydrophobic tagging (HyT) is a potential therapeutic strategy for targeted protein degradation (TPD). Norbornene was discovered as an unprecedented hydrophobic tag in this study and was used to degrade the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion prot...

Tractography dissection variability: What happens when 42 groups dissect 14 white matter bundles on the same dataset? (2021)
Journal Article
Schilling, K. G., Rheault, F., Petit, L., Hansen, C. B., Nath, V., Yeh, F. C., …Descoteaux, M. (2021). Tractography dissection variability: What happens when 42 groups dissect 14 white matter bundles on the same dataset?. NeuroImage, 243, Article 118502. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2021.118502

White matter bundle segmentation using diffusion MRI fiber tractography has become the method of choice to identify white matter fiber pathways in vivo in human brains. However, like other analyses of complex data, there is considerable variability i...

Foreign investment, corporate governance and performance in the Chinese listed A Share companies (2017)
Journal Article
Beatson, S. A., & Chen, J. (2018). Foreign investment, corporate governance and performance in the Chinese listed A Share companies. Journal of Chinese Economic and Business Studies, 16(1), 59-93. https://doi.org/10.1080/14765284.2017.1346931

We present a novel lens on the presence and impact of qualified foreign institutional investors (QFII) in top shareholdings of the non-financial domestically listed Chinese ‘A’ share firms. The initial results suggest that the presence of a QFII as a... Read More about Foreign investment, corporate governance and performance in the Chinese listed A Share companies.
