We describe an 18-year-old patient with psychomotor retardation and abnormally short metatarsi and metacarpals but no other signs of classic Refsum disease. Molecular analysis of the phytanoyl-coenzyme A hydroxylase gene revealed a homozygous deletion causing a frameshift. Surprisingly, L-pipecolic acid

Recently it was found that normal adults excrete pipecolic acid primarily as the D-enantiomer even though it is present in the blood stream mainly as the L-enantiomer (i.e. > 98% L). This study of pipecolic acid stereochemistry was extended to

L-Pipecolic acid, a cyclic imino acid produced during the degradation of lysine, accumulates in body fluids of infants with the generalized peroxisomal disorders, including Zellweger syndrome, neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy, and infantile Refsum disease. Peroxisome-enriched fractions from normal human liver oxidized L-[3H]pipecolic

Anodic olefin coupling reactions using a tosylamine trapping group have been studied. The cyclizations are favored by the use of a less-polar radical cation and more basic reaction conditions. The most significant factor for obtaining good yields of cyclic product

FEBS letters, 584(1), 181-186 (2009-11-26)
The mammalian degradation of lysine is believed to proceed via two distinct routes, the saccharopine and the pipecolic acid routes, that ultimately converge at the level of alpha-aminoadipic semialdehyde (alpha-AASA). alpha-AASA dehydrogenase-deficient fibroblasts were grown in cell culture medium supplemented
