Abstract
The chemical constituents produced by Chinese higher fungi, including thirty two basidiomycete and six ascomycete species, have been investigated in the past decades. A variety of new secondary metabolites associated with diverse structural types of terpenoids, steroids, sphingolipids, perylenequinones, p-terphenyls, pyranones, and heterocyclic compounds, which exhibited antitumor, anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic, enzyme inhibitory, antiviral, neuritogenic, antibiotic, and other activities, have been discovered. Recent progress in the structures and interesting biological properties of compounds isolated from these higher fungi is discussed in this review.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
Chemistry and Biology of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are one of the most abundant natural products and are considered to be extremely important biomolecules for their ever-increasing impact on chemistry and biology. Their role in several important biological processes, notably energy storage, transport, modulation of protein function, intercellular adhesion, malignant transformation, signal transduction, viral, and bacterial cell ...read more
Electrochemical C-X bond formation
Conventional methods for carrying out carbon–X bond formation are typically conducted at harsh reaction conditions, and rely on expensive catalysts as well as the use of stoichiometric, and perhaps toxic, oxidants. In this regard, electrochemical synthesis has recently been recognized as a sustainable and scalable strategy for the construction of ...read more
