Application
Dimethyl (S)-(-)-malate may be used as a starting material to synthesize (-)-tulipalin B. The selective reduction of its ester group to alcohol can be accomplished using borane-dimethyl sulfide complex (BMS) in the presence of sodium tetrahydroborate.
This chiral synthon has been used to prepare cytochrome P450 metabolites of arachidonic acid, and cyclic sulfolanes with HIV-1 protease inhibition potential.

Secreted proteins are important metabolic regulators in both healthy and disease states. Here, we sought to investigate the mechanism by which the secreted protein complement 1q-like-3 (C1ql3) regulates insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells, a key process affecting whole-body glucose metabolism.
Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
