Chunze Li et al.
The Journal of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics, 305(1), 250-256 (2003-03-22)
Two alternative metabolic pathways, acyl glucuronidation and acyl-CoA formation, are implicated in the generation of reactive acylating metabolites of carboxylic acids. Here, we describe studies that determine the relative importance of these two pathways in the metabolic activation of a
M J Thomason et al.
The Journal of pharmacy and pharmacology, 49(3), 263-269 (1997-03-01)
Previous studies have demonstrated that Verticillium lecanii might be used as a microbial model of the inversion of 2-arylpropionic acids in man. This paper describes the optimization of the inversion process in respect of culture medium, pH, cell density and
Shengqiang Tong et al.
Journal of chromatography. A, 1281, 79-86 (2013-02-20)
High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and high speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) were applied and compared in enantioseparation of 2-phenylpropionic acid (2-PPA) when hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) was used as chiral mobile phase additive. For HPLC, the enantioseparation was achieved on ODS C(18)
Y Tanaka et al.
Chirality, 4(6), 342-348 (1992-01-01)
It has been proposed that the chiral inversion of the 2-arylpropionic acids is due to the stereospecific formation of the (-)-R-profenyl-CoA thioesters which are putative intermediates in the inversion. Accordingly, amino acid conjugation, for which the CoA thioesters are obligate
Chunze Li et al.
Chemical research in toxicology, 15(10), 1309-1317 (2002-10-22)
Chemically reactive species formed from the metabolism of carboxylic acid-containing compounds have been proposed as mediators of their toxic side-effects. Two alternative metabolic pathways known to be involved in the generation of reactive acylating metabolites of carboxylic acids are acyl
