Monosaccharides are added to the hydrophilic face of a self‐assembled asymmetric Fe(II) metallohelix, using CuAAC chemistry. The sixteen resulting architectures are water‐stable and optically pure, and exhibit improved antiproliferative selectivity against colon cancer cells (HCT116 p53 +/+ ) with respect to the non‐cancerous ARPE‐19 cell line. While the most selective compound is a glucose‐appended enantiomer, its cellular entry is not mainly glucose transporter‐mediated. Glucose conjugation nevertheless...

All systems Ar go : A PdII‐catalyzed enantioselective C(sp3)−H arylation of ketones using an α‐amino acid as a chiral transient directing group is reported. 3‐Nitro‐5‐trifluoromethyl‐2‐pyridone was identified as an effective ligand, and acts as an acetate surrogate to accelerate C−H bond cleavage. Combining an electron‐deficient 2‐pyridone ligand with different silver salts enables control of the rate‐limiting step (RLS), thereby leading to high enantioselectivity. Abstract The use of chiral...

Abstract Cancer is driven by genetic mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes and by cellular events that develop a misregulated molecular microenvironment in the growing tumor tissue. The tumor microenvironment is guided by the excessive action of specific cytokines including transforming growth factor‐b (TGF‐b), which normally controls embryonic development and the homeostasis of young or adult tissues. As a consequence of the genetic alterations generating a given tumor, TGF‐β can preserve...
