In the title compound, C(15)H(20)N(2)O(3), the benzimidazole ring is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation from the mean plane of 0.012 (1) Å. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric dimers, which are connected in the [100] direction through weak C-H⋯O contacts.

In the title compound, C(13)H(15)NO(2), the plane of the indole ring forms a dihedral angle of 5.26 (6)° with the ester group and the ethyl side-chain C atoms. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions.

In the title compound, C(21)H(23)NO(2), the dihedral angle between the indole ring system and the benzyl ring is 75.92 (9)°. The crystal packing is controlled by C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions.

In the title compound, C(26)H(24)N(2)O(2)Se, the selenadiazole ring is essentially planar [maximum deviation = 0.004 (3) Å]. The dihedral angle between the selenadiazole ring and the attached benzene ring is 50.17 (1)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by inter-molecular C-H⋯N inter-actions.

Feeding Alfalfa seed extract to chicks resulted in significant reduction of total cholesterol, phospholipid, triglyceride, LDL-Cholesterol and VLDL-cholesterol. Simultaneously, an increased in the HDL-cholesterol/total cholesterol ratio occurred with reduction in total cholesterol and phospholipid contents of liver and (ventricular) muscle of the heart. Results obtained with alfalfa seed extrac...

shown to actively utilize branched chaini amino acids and to produce alanine. The coniversioni of [1-"C]leucine to 14CO2 or to the [1-14C]keto-acid of leucine (a-keto-isocaproate) was linear for at least 2 h of incubation; the production of "CO2 from [1-'4C]leucine was saturable with a Km = 6.3 mM and a maximiium oxidation rate (Vmax) = 31 nmiol/mg protein per 120 min. Clofibric acid selectivel...

3Alpha, 7alpha, 12alpha-trihydroxy-5beta-cholestan-26-oic acid (C27-5beta-cholestanoic acid) derivatives with different carbon-number side chains were incubated with rat liver 800 g supernatant to study the effect of the side-chain length on the beta-oxidation system in bile acid biosynthesis. The intermediate alpha, beta-unsaturated and beta-hydroxylated bile acids, and the corresponding degra...
