Degenerative disc disease (DDD) in lumbar spine is one of the major musculoskeletal disorders that cause low back pain (LBP). The intervertebral disc structure and dynamics of the lumbar spine are significantly affected by lumbar DDD, leading to a reduced range of motion (ROM), muscle weakness and gradual degradation. Spinal fusion and…[Read more]

A (diacetoxyiodo)benzene-mediated intramolecular cycloaddition of olefins to construct tricyclic morpholines is presented. A series of substituted tricyclic morpholines were obtained in one-step simple operation under mild conditions, and the NMR studies were employed to see the interaction of reactants. The studies on stereochemistry showed that…[Read more]
