The enantiomers of two alpha-tropanyl esters, SM21 (1) and PG9 (2), derived from (+)-R-hyoscyamine, that act by increasing the central cholinergic tone, were obtained by esterification after resolution of the corresponding racemic acids [(-)-S-1, (-)-R-2 and (+)-S-2] and by stereospecific

The enantiomers of 3-alpha-tropyl 2-(phenylthio)butyrate (SM32, 1) were prepared by chiral synthesis and tested for analgesic, cognition-enhancing, and ACh-releasing properties. They show enantioselectivity in some of the tests, the eutomer being related in configuration to R-(+)-hyoscyamine.

Organic acids in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are potential diagnostic markers for neurological diseases and metabolic disorders. A capillary electrophoretic (CE) method for the direct analysis, i.e., without any sample preparation, of six organic acids in CSF was developed. A capillary

Insulin resistance is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease progression. Current diagnostic tests, such as glycemic indicators, have limitations in the early detection of insulin resistant individuals. We searched for novel biomarkers identifying these at-risk subjects.
