A screening program was conducted to find microorganisms that modify the synthetic cannabinoid nabilone. After purification, the products from three cultures were analyzed by spectral methods to determine their chemical structures. An optically active 9S-hydroxy-6aR,10aR-trans cannabinoid was isolated from a culture of an unidentified soil bacterium designated A24007. From Bacillus cereus cultu...

The title compound, C(10)H(7)FO(4), is an inter-mediate in the synthesis of the drug Fidarestat, (2S,4S)-2-aminoformyl-6-fluoro-spiro[chroman-4,4'-imidazolidine]-2',5'-dione. The di-hydro-pyran-one ring adopts an envelope conformation with the asymmetric C atom in the flap position. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked into zigzag chains along [100] by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯π inter-...

5-S-Cysteinyldopa (5SCD) and 6-hydroxy-5-methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (6H5MI2C) are formed during biosynthesis of melanins. They are used as indicators of pigment formation and markers of melanoma progression in adults and could possibly be used as markers of activity, growth and even malignant transformation in large pigmented naevi in children. We investigated the urinary excretion of thes...

Catalysis of the acylation aniline with 3-­hydroxy-2-naphthoic, 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic, 2-hydroxy-1-naphthoic and 1-hydroxy-4-naphthoic acids by phosphorus P(III) silicon Si(IV) compounds leads to formation anilides corresponding hydroxy­naphthoic under mild conditions (ortho-xylene, 146.5–147 °C) in almost quantitative yield.
 Among trichloride tribromide; phosphorous, 1-hydroxyethyli­de­n...

The chemical nature of the royal jelly (RJ) has received considerable attention over the past 20 years. Genc and Aslan reported the determination of Trans-10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA) content in pure Royal Jelly and royal jelly products by column liquid chromatography. Antinelli et al. confirmed this method and evaluated 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid presence as a freshness parameter for Ro...
