We synthesized and evaluated inhibitory activity against T-type Ca(2+) channels for a series of 1-alkyl-N-[2-ethyl-2-(4-fluorophenyl)butyl]piperidine-4-carboxamide derivatives. Structure-activity relationship studies have revealed that dialkyl substituents at the benzylic position play an important role in increasing inhibitory activity.

Marine fungi belonging to the genera Aspergillus, Penicillium, Cladosporium, and Bionectria catalyzed the biotransformation of phenylacetonitrile to 2-hydroxyphenylacetic acid. Eight marine fungi, selected and cultured with phenylacetonitrile in liquid mineral medium, catalyzed it quantitative biotransformation to 2-hydroxyphenylacetic acid. In this
