N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are organic compounds that typically mimic the chemical properties of phosphines. NHCs have made a significant impact on the field of coordination and organometallic chemistry because they are easy to prepare and handle and because of their versatility and stability. Importantly, the physicochemical properties of NHCs...

Bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) protein family plays an important role in regulating gene transcription preferentially at super-enhancer regions and has been involved with several types of cancers as a candidate. Up to now, there are 16 pan-BET inhibitors in clinical trials, however, most of them have undesirable off-target and side-eff...
