A convenient method to obtain unknown chiral C2- and C3-functionalized aldono-1,4-lactone derivatives starting from l-ascorbic acid, which would be valuable in the synthesis of derivatives of various pharmacologically active agents for structure-activity studies, is described. The practicality of this approach

[reaction: see text] A new synthesis of L-noviose (11), a sugar moiety of novobiocin, is presented. D-Gulonolactone was initially converted in a few steps to the key ester derivative 7 [1-O-benzyl methyl 2,3-O-(1-methylethylidene)-alpha-L-lyxofuranosiduronate]. An appropriate selection of protecting groups enabled

The synthesis of the enantiomers of 6-epicastanospermine and of 1,6-diepicastanospermine from the enantiomeric gulonolactones is reported and the structure of the former is established as (1S,6R,7R,8R,8aR)-1,6,7,8-tetrahydroxyoctahydroindolizine. The inhibitory activities of the diastereomers against the amyloglucosidase-catalysed hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside were

FEBS letters, 430(3), 293-296 (1998-08-04)
The orientation of gulonolactone oxidase activity was investigated in rat liver microsomes. Ascorbate formation upon gulonolactone addition resulted in higher intravesicular than extravesicular ascorbate concentrations in native microsomal vesicles. The intraluminal ascorbate accumulation could be prevented or the accumulated ascorbate

The reviewed studies addressed the possibility of using gene transfer for correction of L-ascorbic acid biosynthesis and carbohydrate utilization in rainbow trout. Analyses of enzymatic activities in the L-AAB pathway indicated that reasons for the lack of L-AA production can
