In a screening procedure a pink-colored yeast was isolated from enrichment cultures with (2R,3R)-(-)-di-O-benzoyl-tartrate (benzoyl-tartrate) as the sole carbon source. The organism saar1 was identified by morphological, physiological, and 18S ribosomal DNA/internal transcribed spacer analysis as Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, a basidiomycetous

Due to low central nervous system (CNS) bioavailability of delta-opioid peptides, little is known about the effect of systemic administration of delta-opioid receptor ligands. The present study examined the effect of non-peptidergic delta-opioid receptor agonists, (+)-4-[(alphaR)-alpha-((2R,5R)-4-Allyl-2,5-dimethyl-1-piperazinyl)-3-methoxybenzyl]-N,N-diethylbenzamide (SNC80) and (-)dibenzoyl-L-tartaric acid
