A pro-inflammatory state and a dysregulation in the tryptophan/kynurenine pathway have been documented in depression. This study examined whether treatment with the SSRI, escitalopram (ESC), could suppress inflammation and favorably shift metabolites of the kynurenine pathway in patients with major

Reaction screening of nucleophilic reaction partners for addition to N-diphenylphosphinylimines employing lanthanum(III) triflate as a catalyst and trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA) as an activator is reported. A number of tandem processes leading to novel chemotypes including aza-Prins/intramolecular Friedel-Crafts annulations have been

Aminopentadienals resulting from the condensation of tryptamine or homoveratrylamine with glutaconaldehydes were treated with trifluoroacetic anhydride, allowing the formation of tetrahydro-beta-carbolines and tetrahydroisoquinolines bearing an enal function. In this N-acyl Pictet-Spengler reaction the electrophilicity of the aminopentadienals was dramatically increased

Derivatisation of the avermectines ivermectin (IVM), doramectin (DOR), abamectin (ABA) and eprinomectin (EPR), and the milbemycin moxidectin (MOX) to fluorescent derivatives is commonly used for quantitative analysis at relevant levels using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection.

Re(2)O(7), which is known primarily as a strong oxidant, was found to be a highly selective Lewis acid catalyst that affects the heteroacylative dimerization of THF at room temperature. This multicomponent reaction, which involves THF, trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA), and a
