The new state of matter, termed transverse quantum fluid (TQF), is found in a variety of physical setups. The key ingredient defining the class of TQF systems is infinite compressibility, which is responsible for all other unusual properties such as the quadratic spectrum of normal modes (or even the absence of sharp quasiparticles), irrelevance of the Landau criterion, off-diagonal long-range order at <jats:italic>T</jats:italic> = 0, and the exponential dependence of the phase slip probability on the inverse flow velocity. From a conceptual point of view, the TQF state is a striking demonstration of the conditional character of many dogmas associated with superfluidity, including the necessity of elementary excitations, in general, and the ones obeying Landau criterion in particular.","PeriodicalId":14,"journal":{"name":"ACS Combinatorial Science","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":22.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142610312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the unique microenvironment of bone marrow, we reasoned that drug resistance of AML might rely on distinct metabolic processes. Here, we identify succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) deficiency and over-cumulative succinate as typical features in AML, with a marked function in causing the resistance of AML cells to various anti-cancer therapies. Mechanistically, succinate promotes the accumulation of oncogenic proteins in a manner that precedes transcriptional activation. This function is mediated by succinate-triggered upregulation of ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2M (UBC12) phosphorylation, which impairs its E2 function in cullins neddylation. Notably, decreasing succinate by fludarabine can restore the sensitivity of anti-cancer drugs in SDH-deficient AML.

State-of-the-art approaches exploit chiral transition metal-catalysts to enable high levels of regio- and stereocontrol. However, this is often achieved at the expense of a limited alkene scope and reduced generality. 1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions are routinely used to form heterocycles from alkenes with high levels of regioselectivity and stereospecificity. Nevertheless, methods for the ring-opening of cycloadducts to reveal synthetically useful functionalities require the use of hazardous reagents or forcing reaction conditions; thus limiting their synthetic applications. Herein, we describe the implementation of a practical, general and selective electrosynthetic strategy for olefin 1,2-<i>syn</i>-difunctionalization, which hinges on the design of novel reagents–consisting of a nitrile oxide 1,3-dipole precursor, equipped with a sulfonyl-handle. These can selectively difunctionalize alkenes via “click” 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions, and then facilitate the telescoped electrochemical single electron transfer activation of the ensuing isoxazoline intermediate. Cathodic reduction of the cycloadduct triggers a radical fragmentation pathway delivering sought-after stereodefined 1,2-<i>syn</i>-hydroxy nitrile derivatives. Our telescoped electrochemical procedure tolerates a wide range of functionalities, and─crucially─enables the difunctionalization of both electron-rich, electron-poor and unactivated olefins, with diverse degree of substitution; thus providing a robust, general and selective metal-free alternative to current alkene difunctionalization strategies.
