The prominent key step involved a Diels-Alder intramolecular cyclization/dehydro-aromatization sequence. From these carbazole-lactam cores, linear syntheses have been developed for ellipticines and calothrixin B.Microfracture surgery remains the most popular treatment for articular cartilage lesions in the clinic, but often leads to the formation of inferior fibrocartilage tissue and damage to subchondral bone. To overcome these problems, extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffolds derived from decellularized natural cartilaginous tissues were introduced and showed excellent biological properties to direct the differentiation of bone marrow stem cells. However, besides the limited allogenic/allogenic supply and the risk of disease transfer from xenogeneic tissues, the effectiveness of ECM scaffolds always varied with a high variability of natural tissue quality. In this study, we developed composite scaffolds functionalized with a cell-derived ECM source, namely, bionic cartilage acellular matrix microspheres (BCAMMs), that support the chondrogenic differentiation of bone marrow cells released from microfracture. The scaffolds with BCAMMs at different developmental stages were investigated in articular cartilage regeneration and subchondral bone repair. Compared to microfracture, the addition of cell-free BCAMM scaffolds has demonstrated a great improvement of regenerated cartilage tissue quality in a rabbit model as characterized by a semi-quantitative analysis of cells, histology and biochemical assays as well as micro-CT images. Moreover, the variation in ECM properties was found to significantly affect the
