The enantiomers of a homologous series (C6-C10) of 2-mercapto-4-alkanones were obtained by lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution of the corresponding racemic 2-acetylthio-4-alkanones. Their configurations were assigned via vibrational circular dichroism and 1H NMR anisotropy based methods. Odor thresholds and odor qualities were

Chemically reactive species formed from the metabolism of carboxylic acid-containing compounds have been proposed as mediators of their toxic side-effects. Two alternative metabolic pathways known to be involved in the generation of reactive acylating metabolites of carboxylic acids are acyl

The significance of disturbances of lipid metabolism caused by xenobiotic acyl-CoAs as possible causes of peroxisomal proliferation has been studied with the enantiomers of 2-phenylpropionic acid (2-PPA), the (R)-enantiomer of which is converted to the acyl-CoA in rats while its

The metabolism of (R,S)-ibuprofen has been investigated in 24 microbial cultures. Of these Cunninghamella elegans, Mucor hiemalis, and Verticillium lecanii catalyzed the oxidation of the drug to 2-[4-(2-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl)phenyl]propionic acid, a known mammalian metabolite. The extent of metabolism was greatest with

Examination of the crystal structure of the ovine prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase-1 (PGHS-1)/S- flurbiprofen complex (Picot, D., Loll, P.J., and Garavito, R.M. (1994) Nature 367, 243-2491) suggests (a) that the carboxyl group of arachidonic acid interacts with the arginino group of
