The Structure of 9, 14-Epoxy-8, 14-seco Steroids

Rearrangement of 14/3-Hydroxy-12ß-sulfoxy-steroids to 13,17-Seco-12,17-cyclo-steroids; a 2D-NMR Analysis

During our work on cardiaoctive steroids we studied the elimination of the 12/3-sulfoxy-group. It is well known that 12/J-tosyloxyor 12/3-mesyloxysteroids with C/D-trans juncture undergo elimination to yield C-nor-D-homo steroids with 12(13) or 13(18) double bonds [1—6]. The same rearrangement product was obtained by the reaction of a 12/3-tosyloxycardenolide [7] with C/D-eis juncture. No GrobF...

samples from 3 of 4 Myotis species captured in the same location in 2006 and 2007. A relatively high prevalence of henipavirus antibody was also found among Rousettus leschenaul-tia samples from Hainan Province in 2007. Notably, Yunnan and Hainan are both located in southern China. Although pteropid bats are not found in China, these data suggest henipavi-ruses could be introduced into China by...

Autophagy is a cellular pathway that leads to the degradation of proteins and organelles. This process is usually involved in the maintenance of cell homeostasis when the organism experiences nutrient starvation, but in holometabolous insects autophagy also intervenes in the demolition of larval tissues and organs during metamorphosis. This review summarizes the current knowledge about autophag...
