We report the first total syntheses of simonsol F (3), simonsinol (5), fargenin (4), and macranthol (6) in addition to syntheses of simonsol C (2), simonsol G (1), and honokiol (14). The syntheses are based upon a phosphonium ylide-mediated cascade r... Read More about Total synthesis, biological evaluation and biosynthetic re-evaluation of Illicium-derived neolignans.

A convenient model of serum-induced reactivity of human astrocytes to investigate astrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles (2024)
Journal Article

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are secreted by all cells in the CNS, including neurons and astrocytes. EVs are lipid membrane enclosed particles loaded with various bioactive cargoes reflecting the dynamic activities of cells of origin. In contrast to...
