Gabapentin and pregabalin have been demonstrated, both in animal pain models and clinically, to be effective analgesics particularly for the treatment of neuropathic pain. The precise mechanism of action for these two drugs is unknown, but they are generally believed
D-phenylglycine (D-Phg) is an important side chain building block for semi-synthetic penicillins and cephalosporins such as ampicillin and cephalexin. To produce d-Phg ultimately from glucose, metabolic engineering was applied. Starting from phenylpyruvate, which is the direct precursor of L-phenylalanine, an
Hydantoins and their derivatives constitute a group of pharmaceutical compounds with anticonvulsant and antiarrhythmic properties, and are also used against diabetes. N-3 and C-5 substituted imidazolidines are examples of such products. As such, we have developed a synthesis of 2,4-dione
The triazine-based bisbinaphthyl crown ethers oxacalix[2]arene[2]bisbinaphthes R-1, R-2, R-3 and S-1, S-2, S-3 were synthesized. The interactions of these compounds with various α-aminocarboxylic acid anions were studied. The crown ethers were found to carry out highly enantioselective fluorescent recognition of
The optically active cobalt(III) complex with chiral cyclen, (2S,5S,8S,11S)-2,5,8,11-tetraethyl-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane, preferentially binds to D-phenylglycine (D-Phg) or D-t-leucine (D-t-Leu) rather than L-Phg or L-t-Leu, respectively, with 20% de in dimethyl sulfoxide at 293 K. Comparative studies on the crystal structures of cobalt(III)
