The mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane (MAM) is a small section of the outer mitochondrial membrane tethered to the ER by lipid and protein filaments. One such MAM protein is the σ-1 receptor, which contributes to multiple signaling pathways. We found that short interfering RNA-mediated knockdown of σ-1 reduced pregnenolone synthesis by 95% without affecting expression ...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(34)H(31)N(3)O(2), consists of two independent mol-ecules which differ slightly in the orientations of the phenyl rings with respect to the pyrrolidine ring. In both mol-ecules, the piperidin-4-one ring adopts a chair conformation, whereas the pyrrolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation in one of the mol-ecules and a twisted conformation in the o...

In the title compound, C(21)H(20)N(2)O(3), the naphthalimide unit is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation for the 15 non-H atoms = 0.059 Å). The carboximide N atom and the five C atoms of the 2-methyl-prop-2-enoyl substituent also lie in a plane (r.m.s. deviation = 0.009 Å), which subtends an angle of 84.34 (7)° to the naphthalamide plane. This orients the =CH(2) group of the vinyl fragment towards ...
