General description

trans-1,3-Diphenyl-2,3-epoxypropan-1-one has been reported to efficiently participate in gas-phase Meerwein reaction under both electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) conditions. Therapeutic potential of trans-1,3-diphenyl-2,3-epoxypropane-1-one (DPEP), and its anti-inflammatory effects have been studied.

C(alpha)-tetrasubstituted alpha-amino acids constitute a powerful tool for controlling the conformation of short peptide sequences. Chiral peptides may be used in stereoselective reactions both for asymmetric induction and in kinetic resolution. By reviewing recent data from our own laboratories and

The inhibition of murine cytosolic epoxide hydrolase has been studied with both racemic and enantiomerically pure trans-3-phenylglycidols. These compounds are the first enantioselective, slow binding inhibitors of cytosolic epoxide hydrolase. The (2S,3S)-3-phenylglycidol enantiomer was always a better inhibitor than the

The influence of metyrapone, chalcone epoxide, benzil and clotrimazole on the activity of microsomal epoxide hydrolase towards styrene oxide, benzo[a]pyrene 4,5-oxide, estroxide and androstene oxide was investigated. The studies were performed using liver microsomes from rats, rabbits, mice and humans;
