background and aims: 25-hydroxy vitamin d3 is recognized to be an essential element for healthy body; however, its deficiency has been identified as a risk factor for thyroid disease, diabetes mellitus and other autoimmune diseases and infectious diseases. thyroid disease is common in the general population that its prevalence increases proportional to age. subjects with poorly controlled diabe...

Reaction of the sulfuric acid ester of /V-hydroxy-4acetylaminobiphenyl and of the acetic acid esters of /V-hydroxy-4-acetylaminobiphenyl, /V-hydroxy-4-acetylaminostilbene, and /V-hydroxy-2-acetylaminophenanthrene with transforming DNA of Bacillus subtilis in vitro caused both inactivation of transforming activity and the induction of mutations. The parent amides, amines, /V-hydroxy amides, and ...

Abstract. Biotransformations are chemical reactions carried out by microorganisms on organic substrates. can be regio-, chemo-, stereo- and enantio-selective. Bioreductions of great interest to the food pharmaceutical industries as they help reduce costs impacts environment. In this work, following biotransformations chalcones were performed: (2E)-1-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-3-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-prop-...

Several unusual fatty acids characterized strains of Francisella tularensis. Long-chain (C20-C26) acids and the hydroxy acids 2-hydroxy-decanoate, 3-hydroxy-hexadecanoate, and 3-hydroxy-octadecanoate appeared to be of special diagnostic value.

antifungal and antibacterial activities at concentrations of 7.8 to 15,6uglml, respectively, and that a possible target of the ITC compounds might be the cellular sulfhydryl group, In recent years, a number of multidrug transporters have been found in various organisms including bacteria and human cells.3) A promising way to conquer such multidrug resistance is to inactivate the eMux protein in...

Nine compounds, 3-hydroxy-4,5-dimethoxyphenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1), beta-D-fructfuranosyl-alpha-D-(6-vanilloyl)-glucopyranoside (2), beta-D-fructfuranosyl-alpha-D-(6-syringyl)-glucopyranoside (3), 3-hydroxy-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-[4-(3-hydroxy-1-(E)-propenyl)-2-methoxyphenoxy]propyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4), 3-hydroxy-1-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-[4-(3-hydroxy-1-(E)-propenyl...

An efficient synthesis of the 1-hydroxy-2-(prop-2'-enyl)9-anthrone is described. Selective nitration of anthraquinone, reduction to the corresponding amine, diazotization and treatment by sulfuric acid solution afforded the 1-hydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone in good yield as the key intermediate. Reaction with allyl bromide/K2CO3 and subsequent selective reduction accompanie...

zeolites due to their structures can be used as molecular sieves for purification of materials and solutions. zeolites with phi and sod structure are so common and applicable for this purpose. hydroxy sodalite and phillipsite are the more abundant members of zeolites which display good selectivity for very small molecules and some ions such as sr, pb, zn, cu and rb. there is not any pure natura...

Twelve neuroactive and neuroprotective steroids, androgens and androgen precursors i.e. 3alpha,17beta-dihydroxy-5alpha-androstane, 3alpha-hydroxy-5alpha-androstan-17-one, 3alpha-hydroxy-5beta-androstan-17-one, androst-5-ene-3beta,17beta-diol, 3beta,17alpha-dihydroxy-pregn-5-en-20-one (17alpha-hydroxy-pregnenolone), 3beta-hydroxy-androst-5-en-17-one (dehydroepiandrosterone, DHEA), testosterone, ...

BACKGROUND Enantiopure 2-hydroxy acids are key intermediates for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. We present an enantioselective cascade biocatalysis using recombinant microbial cells for deracemization of racemic 2-hydroxy acids that allows for efficient production of enantiopure 2-hydroxy acids. RESULTS The method was realized by a single recombinant Escherichia coli str...
