3-(3-Bromotetrahydrofuran-2-yl)-3-cephem 7 was obtained from 3-(2-hydroxyethyl)vinyl-3-cephem 6 by the cyclization reaction using N-bromosuccinimide. Compound 5 was prepared by Wittig reaction, namely a coupling of cephem-derived triphenylphosphonium salt 3 with aldehyde component 4 in the presence of base.

Amino acids are fundamental nutrients for protein synthesis and cell growth (increase in cell size). Recently, many compelling evidences have shown that the level of amino acids is sensed by extra- or intra-cellular amino acids sensor(s) and regulates protein synthesis/degradation. Mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is placed in a central position in cell growth regulation and dysregulation of mTOR signaling pathway has been implicated in many serious human diseases including cancer, diabetes, and tissue hypertrophy. Although amino acids are the most potent activator of mTORC1, how amino acids activate mTOR signaling pathway is still largely unknown. This is partly because of the diversity of amino acids themselves including structure and metabolism. In this review, current proposed amino acid sensing mechanisms to regulate mTORC1 and the evidences pro/against the proposed models are discussed.

A series of benzimidazole derivatives carrying different heterocycles such as 1,2,3-thiadiazole, 1,3,4-thiadiazole, thiazolidine, 2,3-dihydro-thiazole, 1,3,4-oxadiazole, semicarbazone and substituted thiosemi-carbazones were synthesized. Also a series of 1-methylbenzimidazole carrying hydroxy ethyl-amide, substituted sulfonyl hydrazide and benzoyl hydrazide from aminobenzoyl group at position 2 of 1-methylbenzimidazole were synthesized. The antimicrobial evaluation of some of the new compounds was carried out.

The stereoselective synthesis 4′,6′-dually branched carbocyclic nucleosides was accomplished in this study. The introduction of a methyl group in the 6′$({\alpha})$-position was accomplished by Felkin-Anh controlled alkylation. The construction of the required 4′$({\alpha})$-quaternary carbon was carried out using a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. Bis-vinyl 6 was successfully cyclized using a Grubbs' catalyst II. The natural bases (adenine, cytosine) were efficiently coupled using a Pd(0) catalyst. When the synthesized compounds were examined for their activity against several viruses such as the HIV-1, HSV-1, HSV-2 and HCMV, the cytosine analogue 13 exhibited good antiviral activity against the HCMV.

Semiconductor nanowires (NWs) refer to one-dimensional semiconductor materials that have a diameter constrained to tens of nanometers or less and an unconstrained length. Over the past few decades, most efforts in the semiconductor NWs have been focused on synthesis, structure and morphology control, and assembly, as appropriate for diverse functional device applications. This paper provides a detailed overview of the recent research activities and major achievements in nanowire research, which especially includes nanowires synthesis, position and direction-controlled assembly or growth. In addition, the fine tuning of structure and morphology, and the related properties and device applications of the NWs are highlighted.

The synthetic route of novel 3′-C-methyl carbodine analogue is described. The construction of tertiary alcohol at 3′- position of carbodine analogues was successfully made via sequential [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement, ring-closing metathesis (RCM) and stereoselective dihydroxylation reactions starting from ethyl glycolate.

Designed and synthesized twenty-four 2,4-diaryl benzofuro[3,2-b]pyridine derivatives were evaluated for topoisomerase I and II inhibitory activities as well as cytotoxicities against several human cancer cell lines. Various aryl groups such as phenyl, 2- or 3- furyl, 2- or 3-thienyl, and 2-pyridyl were substituted at 2- or 4- position of central pyridine. Compounds 8, 12, 13, and 14, with 2-furyl either at 2- or 4- position of central pyridine showed the significant topoisomerase II inhibitory activity at 100 ${\mu}M$.

An efficient synthetic route for preparing novel $4'{\alpha}$-C phenyl branched carbocyclic nucleoside is described. The installation of phenyl group at the $4'$-position of carbocyclic nucleoside was successfully accomplished via a sequential [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement and ring-closing metathesis (RCM) beginning from simple ketone such as 2-hydroxy acetophenone.

This paper describes the racemic and stereoselective synthetic route for a novel 4'$\alpha$-phenyl and 6'$\alpha$-methyl doubly branched carbocyclic nucleosides from an acyclic 2-hydroxy acetophenone. The installation of phenyl group at the 4'-position of carbocyclic nucleoside was successfully accomplished via a sequential [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. The stereoselective introduction of a methyl group in the 6'$\alpha$-position was accomplished by Felkin-Anh controlled alkylation. Bis-vinyl 11 compound was successfully cyclized using a Grubbs’ catalyst II to desired carbocycles. The natural bases (adenine and cytosine) were efficiently coupled using a Pd(0) catalyst. Although all the synthesized compounds were examined for their activity against several viruses such as HIV-1, HSV-1, HSV-2 and HCMV, only cytosine analogues 17 exhibited weak antiviral activity against HCMV.

YIG precursor powder was obtained by homogeneous precipitation in chloride salt solution by thermal decom-position of urea. It was found that ferric ions precipitated prior to yttrium ions. The precipitate was minute and spherical in shape. The precipitate formed consisted of the mixture of amorphous and ferric oxyhydroxide. Crystallization of YIG was proceeded by solid state reaction of intermediate YFeO3 and Fe2O3 in the temperature range of 85$0^{\circ}C$ to 140$0^{\circ}C$. Single phase of YIG was obtained by heat-treatment of the powder at 140$0^{\circ}C$ for 6 hrs in air. The powder calcined was molded into pellets and sintered in air. The maximum density of 4,92 g/cm3(95.1% of theoretical density) was obtainable for the pellet sintered at 145$0^{\circ}C$ using the powder calcined at 90$0^{\circ}C$.
