Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The total synthesis of two new marine natural products, (±)-marinoaziridine B 7 and (±)-N-methyl marinoaziridine A 8, was accomplished. The (±)-marinoaziridine 7 was prepared in a six-step linear sequence with a 2% overall yield. The key steps in our strategy were the preparation of the chiral epoxide (±)-5 using the Johnson Corey Chaykovsky reaction, followed by the ring-opening reaction and the Staudinger reaction. The N,N-dimethylation of compound (±)-7 gives (±)-N-methyl marinoaziridine A 8. The NMR spectra of synthetized (±)-marinoaziridine B 7 and isolated natural product did not match. The compounds are biologically characterized using relevant in silico, in vitro and in vivo methods. In silico ADMET and bioactivity profiling predicted toxic and neuromodulatory effects. In vitro screening by MTT assay on three cell lines (MCF-7, H-460, HEK293T) showed that both compounds exhibited moderate to strong antiproliferative and cytotoxic effects. Antimicrobial tests on bacterial cultures of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus demonstrated the dose-dependent inhibition of the growth of both bacteria. In vivo toxicological tests were performed on zebrafish Danio rerio and showed a significant reduction of zebrafish mortality due to N-methylation in (±)-8.
