Application

2-Methyl-1,3-cyclopentanedione hs been used to explore deoxycholic acid (DCA) induced changes in cell signaling. DCA is a secondary bile acid implicated in numerous pathological conditions. It has also been used in the synthesis of (-)-curcumanolide A and (-)-curcumalactone by aldol-lactonization.

Dyotropic rearrangements of fused, tricyclic β-lactones are described that proceed via unprecedented stereospecific, 1,2-acyl migrations delivering bridged, spiro-γ-butyrolactones. A unique example of this dyotropic process involves a fused bis-lactone possessing both β- and δ-lactone moieties which enabled rapid access to

Carboxylesterases (CE) are ubiquitous enzymes responsible for the metabolism of xenobiotics. Because the structural and amino acid homology among esterases of different classes, the identification of selective inhibitors of these proteins has proved problematic. Using Telik's target-related affinity profiling (TRAP)
