This work aims to produce α-ketoisocaproate (KIC) from L-leucine via the free-whole-cell biotransformation of Rhodococcus opacus DSM 43250. The effects of temperature, pH, substrate concentration, cell concentration, and rotating speed on KIC production were examined. Furthermore, the biotransformation conditions were

The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound AGI-1067 (succinobucol) has potential as an oral anti-diabetic agent. AGI-1067 reduces H(b)A1c, improves fasting plasma glucose, and reduces new-onset diabetes. We investigated AGI-1067 for possible effects on mouse pancreatic islets in vitro. Pretreatment with 10
