Abstract: The invention provides methods for the synthesis of eribulin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., eribulin mesylate) through a macrocyclization strategy. The macrocyclization strategy of the present invention involves subjecting a non-macrocyclic intermediate to a carbon-carbon bond-forming reaction (e.g., an olefination reaction (e.g., Homer-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination), Dieckmann reaction, catalytic Ring-Closing Olefin Metathesis, or Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi reaction) to afford a macrocyclic intermediate. The invention also provides compounds useful as intermediates in the synthesis of eribulin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and methods for preparing the same.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel compounds (e.g., compounds of Formulae (I), (II), (III), (IV)) having tumor vascular remodeling effect and/or anti-CAF (Cancer Associated Fibroblasts) activity, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, optionally in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and a medical uses thereof.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes combination therapies comprising an antagonist of Programmed Death 1 receptor (PD-1) and a multi-RTK inhibitor, and the use of the combination therapies for the treatment of cancer. The multi-RTK inhibitor may be represented by Formula (I): wherein R1 is C1-6 alkyl or C3-8 cycloalkyl, R2 is a hydrogen atom or C1-6 alkoxy, and R3 is a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom. A tumor therapeutic agent is disclosed that combines a compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof represented by Formula I and an anti-PD-1 antibody.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing active hepatocyte growth factor activator (HGFA) and active hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) without using animal serum. The present invention relates to a method for producing active HGFA without using animal serum. The method is characterized in that it comprises a step of obtaining a culture supernatant comprising pro-HGFA by culturing mammalian cells expressing inactive hepatocyte growth factor activator (pro-HGFA) in a medium without serum, and a step of adjusting the culture supernatant comprising pro-HGFA obtained in the above step to weakly acidic to convert pro-HGFA into active HGFA. The present invention also relates to a method for producing active HGF with HGFA produced by said method.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for the synthesis of ketones involving a Ni/Zr-mediated coupling reaction. The Ni/Zr-mediated ketolization reactions can be used in the synthesis of halichondrins (e.g., halichondrin A, B, C; homohalichondrin A, B, C; norhalichondrin A, B, C), and analogs thereof.
