Mander reductive alkylation of methyl 2-methoxybenzoate with prenyl bromide and hydrolysis of the enol ether afforded methyl 6-oxo-1-prenyl-2-cyclohexenecarboxylate. This was converted in five steps (reduction of the ketone, saponification, iodolactonization, ozonolysis, and intramolecular aldol reaction) to a spiro lactone cyclopentenal.

For in vivo measurement of the hydroxyl radical (.OH), we synthesized [11C]salicylic acid, [11C]O-acetylsalicylic acid and [11C]2-methoxybenzoic acid by carboxylation of 2-bromomagnesiumanisol using [11C]CO2. The radiochemical yield of [11C]salicylic acid, [11C]O-acetylsalicylic acid and [11C]2-methoxybenzoic acid calculated from trapped [11C]CO2 in

The basic phospholipase A(2) (VRV-PL-VIIIa) from Vipera russelli venom induces multiple toxic effects including neurotoxicity, myotoxicity, edema and hemorrhage. This phospholipase A(2) has been extensively characterized for its pharmacological properties except for hemorrhagic activity. In the present investigation, the lung
