In the title compound, C(16)H(26)N(+)·Cl(-), the cations and anions form discrete centrosymetric cyclic dimers through N-H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding associations with graph-set R(4) (2)(8).

CD38 is a cell surface molecule widely used as a marker for immature and activated lymphocytes. It has been recently shown that CD38 displays three enzymatic activities: hydrolysis of NAD+ to ADP-ribose, synthesis of cyclic ADP-ribose from NAD+, and hydrolysis of cyclic ADP-ribose to ADP-ribose. Thus, CD38 plays a key role in the synthesis of cyclic ADP-ribose, a calcium-mobilizing compound. We...

Six new cyclic peptides, gypsophin A-F (1-6), were isolated from Gypsophila oldhamiana. Their structures were elucidated by extensive NMR and chemical degradation. Compound 3 exhibited moderate activity of antiplatelet aggregation in vitro.

Streptomyces showdoensis SANK 65080 produced terferol, an inhibitor of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate phosphodiesterase (cAMP-PDE). NMR spectrometry and X-ray analysis were used to determine the structure of the compound, a new member of the terphenyl family.

Fixatives that contain methanol extract an unknown compound from several tissues including the retinas of squid (Loligo). We have determined that the compound probably contains (1) a myo-inositol ring that is phosphorylated in more than one position (including at the 5-hydroxyl), (2) a charged moiety that is not susceptible to alkaline phosphatase, and (3) a methyl group. We have found that the...

In the current study, we discovered that a side chain-to-side chain cyclic pentapeptide harboring a central N(ε)-carboxyethyl-thiocarbamoyl-lysine residue behaved as a strong and selective (versus human SIRT1/2/3/6) inhibitor against human SIRT5-catalyzed deacylation reaction. This compound was also found to be proteolytically much more stable than its linear counterpart. This compound could be...
