The enantiomers of 3-alpha-tropyl 2-(phenylthio)butyrate (SM32, 1) were prepared by chiral synthesis and tested for analgesic, cognition-enhancing, and ACh-releasing properties. They show enantioselectivity in some of the tests, the eutomer being related in configuration to R-(+)-hyoscyamine.

The enantiomers of two alpha-tropanyl esters, SM21 (1) and PG9 (2), derived from (+)-R-hyoscyamine, that act by increasing the central cholinergic tone, were obtained by esterification after resolution of the corresponding racemic acids [(-)-S-1, (-)-R-2 and (+)-S-2] and by stereospecific

Rat liver L-threonine dehydrogenase is a mitochondrial enzyme which transforms L-threonine either into aminoacetone or into acetyl-CoA. We show that it is inhibited by several fatty acids and their derivatives: short chain fatty acids, L-2-hydroxybutyrate and D-3-hydroxybutyrate, long chain fatty

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal disorder of reproductive-age women. Yet the cause of BV has not been established. To uncover key determinants of BV, we employed a multi-omic, systems-biology approach, including both deep 16S rRNA gene-based sequencing
