RESUMO
The reductive Heck hydroarylation of unactivated alkenes has emerged as an essential reaction for regioselective hydroarylation. Herein, we report a palladium-catalyzed reductive Heck hydroarylation of unactivated alkenes under mild conditions with enhanced functional group tolerance using hydrosilane as the reducing reagent. Under the optimal conditions, the alkylarene yields increased, resulting in minimal undesired products. Mechanistic studies using deuterated reagents indicated the involvement of two competing catalytic cycles.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To clarify the necessity of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) administration combined with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy in the treatment of acute Kawasaki disease. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Multicentre. PARTICIPANTS: This study included 735 patients with Kawasaki disease aged ≤10 years and hospitalised between 4 and 10 days of illness in eight Japanese hospitals from January 2016 to December 2020. EXPOSURES: High-dose (HD) ASA was administered with initial IVIG to 333 patients in 6 hospitals (HD group). ASA was not administered routinely to 402 patients in the other two hospitals, and low-dose ASA was only administered when patients developed coronary artery lesions or pericardial effusion (non-HD group). PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome was the presence of coronary artery lesions, defined as a coronary artery diameter >+2.5 SD of body surface area within 1 month of onset. The secondary outcome was responsiveness to the initial IVIG therapy. Adjusted risk ratios for the outcomes were calculated using modified Poisson regression models. Bayesian analysis was conducted to estimate the posterior probability of the treatment effect of HD ASA under several prior distributions. RESULTS: The incidence of coronary artery lesions was not significantly higher in the HD group than in the non-HD group (12/333 (3.6%) vs 15/402 (4.0%)). The proportion of non-responders to initial IVIG was similar between the two groups (HD group: 78/333 (23%); non-HD group: 83/402 (22%)). In the Bayesian analysis, considering a difference of ≤2% to be of no clinical importance, there was only a 9.3% chance of reduced risk of coronary artery lesions in the HD group compared with the non-HD group even with a strongly enthusiastic prior for HD treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with HD ASA treatment, treatment without ASA in the acute phase of Kawasaki disease was not associated with increased complications from Kawasaki disease.

In the aging global population, prostate cancer is a worldwide health problem because the incidence rate of this disease increases at advanced ages. Although early-stage prostate cancer can be treated by total prostatectomy, the surgery causes side effects, such as incontinence and dysuria, that lower QOL. Once the disease progresses to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), there are no effective chemotherapeutic agents without systematic side effects. Therefore, targeted therapies for mCPRC are urgently needed. Traditional antibody-drug conjugate treatments for prostate cancer have been tested in clinical trials and several side effects have been observed. Meanwhile, small-molecule drug conjugates (SMDCs) have certain advantages over antibody drug conjugates in terms of non-immunogenicity, reproducibility, and permeability. In this review, prostate-specific membrane antigen-targeted SMDCs for treating prostate cancer are summarized.
