A surface-active N-heterocycliccarbene (NHC) ligand with an octaethylene glycol monomethyl ether and n-dodecyl chain was synthesized. The NHC and its Pd complex behaved as a general surfactant, and hydrophobic oily substrates such as iodobenzene and styrene were emulsified in water, resulting in the acceleration of the Mizoroki–Heck reaction under heterogeneous conditions. Our results demonstrated

Antagonism of the adenosinereceptor on T cells blocks the hypoxia-adenosinergic pathway to promote tumor rejection. Using an in vivo immunoassay based on the Concanavalin A mouse model, a series of antagonists were studied and identified preladenant as a potent lead compound for development. Molecular modeling was employed to assist drug design and subsequent synthesis of analogs and those of tozadenant
