: Tanshinones are a class of bioactive compounds present in the Chinese herbal medicine Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge), containing among others, abietane diterpene quinone scaffolds. Chemical synthesis and biological activity studies of natural and unnatural tanshinone derivatives have been reviewed in this article.

The crucial role played by compounds bearing amide functions, not only in biological processes but also in several fields of chemistry, life polymers and material sciences, has brought about many significant discoveries and innovative approaches for their chemical synthesis. Indeed, a plethora of strategies has been developed to reach such moieties. Amides within chiral molecules are often associated with biological activity especially in life sciences and medicinal chemistry. In most of these cases, their synthesis requires extensive rethinking methodologies. In the very last years (2019–2020), enantioselective C-H functionalization has appeared as a straightforward alternative to reach chiral amides. Therein, an overview on these transformations within this timeframe is going to be given.

In the current pandemic-stricken world, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis has become a necessity in the domain of molecular biology and drug design, realizing that it helps estimate properties and activities of a compound, without actually having to spend time and resources to synthesize it in the laboratory. Correlating the molecular structure of a compound with its activity depends on the choice of the descriptors, which becomes a difficult and confusing task when we have so many to choose from. In this mini-review, the authors delineate the importance of very simple and easy to compute descriptors in estimating various molecular properties/toxicity.
