Intravenous injection of sCA loaded with small RNAs results in safe, high tumor delivery in mouse models. To further improve the efficiency of tumor delivery and avoid liver toxicity, we successfully developed an inorganic nanoparticle device (iNaD) via high-frequency ultrasonic pulverization combined with PEG blending during the production of sCA. Compared to sCA loaded with 24 \u00b5g of miRNA, systemic administration of iNaD loaded with 0.75 \u00b5g of miRNA demonstrated similar delivery efficiency to mouse tumors with little accumulation in the liver. In the mouse therapeutic model, iNaD loaded with 3 \u00b5g of the tumor suppressor small RNA MIRTX resulted in an improved anti-tumor effect compared to sCA loaded with 24 \u00b5g. Our findings on the bio-distribution and therapeutic effect of iNaD provide new perspectives for future nanomedicine engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>13) \u533b\u85ac\u54c1\u5408\u6210\u3092\u6307\u5411\u3057\u305f\u9175\u7d20\u89e6\u5a92\u9023\u7d9a\u30d5\u30ed\u30fc\u5408\u6210<br>Continuous flow biocatalysis for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals<\/strong><br>\u8d64\u4e95\u5468\u53f8 Shuji Akai<br><strong><em>\u5316\u5b66\u5de5\u5b66, 2021,<\/em><\/strong> 85, 619-622;

Particularly, the dispersion interactions between substrates and catalysts (or ligands) are dominant in various selective catalyzes. In contrast, repulsive steric interactions, rather than the attractive dispersion interactions, between bulky substituents are predominant in most of the noncatalytic reactions. Herein, we demonstrate the first example of London dispersion-controlled noncatalytic (2 + 2) cyclodimerization of substituted benzynes to selectively afford proximal biphenylenes in high yields and regioselectivities, depending on the extent of dispersion interactions in the substituents. This method can be applied for the synthesis of novel helical biphenylenes, which would be fascinating for chemists as these compounds are potential skeletons for ligands, catalysts, and medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9) <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/ejoc.202100569\">Direct nucleophilic substitution of alcohols using an immobilized oxovanadium catalyst<\/a><\/strong><br>Tomoya Nishio, Shin Yoshioka, Kai Hasegawa, Kenzo Yahata, Kyohei Kanomata, and Shuji Akai*<br><strong><em>Eur.

Silyl ketene acetals can be easily synthesized by various simple procedures, whereas 1-alkoxyvinyl esters require an equimolar or catalytic amount of a mercury salt to synthesize them. This drawback prevented the advancement of the chemistry of 1-alkoxyvinyl esters. In 1993, we developed a useful synthetic method of 1-alkoxyvinyl esters using a small amount (0.5\u20131 mol %) of a ruthenium catalyst. Encouraged by this discovery, we subsequently developed various reactions and applied them to the synthesis of natural products. It is noteworthy that the stereoselective total synthesis of fredericamycin A was achieved by the combined use of these reactions. Macrocyclization was variously utilized for the synthesis of natural macrolides by two types of approaches: direct macrolactonization of \u03b1,\u03c9-hydroxy acids or intermolecular esterification between an acid and alcohol followed by a ring-closure step. Additionally, several new reactions using 1-alkoxyvinyl esters or their analogs as key intermediates on the basis of our methods were recently reported. In this paper, we introduce our efforts from the synthesis of 1-alkoxyvinyl esters to the application such as natural product syntheses and recent advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3) <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5059\/yukigoseikyokaishi.79.99\">\u5dfb\u982d\u8a00\u3000\u300c\u3082\u3063\u3068\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e\u3092\u5927\u5207\u306b<\/a><\/strong>\u300d<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5059\/yukigoseikyokaishi.79.99\">Prefatory note: &#8220;Valuing the Japanese Language More\u201d<\/a><\/strong><br>\u8d64\u4e95\u5468\u53f8\u3000Shuji Akai<br><strong><em>\u6709\u6a5f\u5408\u6210\u5316\u5b66\u5354\u4f1a\u8a8c,<\/em> 2021, <\/strong>79, 99.<br><strong><em>Synth.
