Introduction of new tools for chemical biology research on microbial metabolites.

Recently, high-throughput screening (HTS) has become the mainstream technique for drug discovery. Compounds that are synthesized by combinatorial chemistry might be more suitable than natural products to apply to HTS, because the purification procedure is a drawback of using natural products. Nevertheless, natural products remain an extremely important source of drugs. To overcome the demerits ...

SYNTHESIS OF NEW PHASE- 1 METABOLITES OF TWO BARBITURATES

The new 4'- hydroxy and 3'- aldehyde phase- 1 metabolites of butobarbitone and pentobarbitone are fully synthesized for the first time. These metabolites were used to idenfity and quantify the natural metabolites in human urine after single and multiple doses of these drugs. The synthesized metobolites have spectral characterizations (IR, NMR, U.V. and mass spectroscopy) consisted with the ...
