A sequential process strategy was introduced for the synthesis of 2,3,4,5-tetrasubstituted pyrroles by the formation of benzoin from the corresponding aromatic aldehyde and followed by condensation reaction with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and ammonium acetate in the presence of diethylene glycol-bis(3-methylimidazolium) dihydroxide as catalyst in refluxing ethanol. The recycled catalyst could be ...

Some of the Beneckea harveyi dim aldehyde mutants, all of which emit light upon addition of exogenous long-chain aldehyde, also emit light when myristic acid is added. Analysis of these myristic acid-responsive mutants indicates that they are blocked before fatty acid formation, whereas another class of mutants, which respond only to aldehyde, appear to be defective in the enzyme(s) involved in...

A genetic abnormality in collagen and elastin cross-linking resembling experimental lathyrism has been identified in mice. The defect is an X-linked trait, attributed to the mottled locus which also influences coat color. The affected mice have aneurysms of the aorta and its branches, weak skin, and bone deformities in a spectrum of severity varying with the alleles at the mottled locus. A defe...

OBJECTIVE Atherosclerotic lesions are associated with the accumulation of reactive aldehydes derived from oxidized lipids. Although inhibition of aldehyde metabolism has been shown to exacerbate atherosclerosis and enhance the accumulation of aldehyde-modified proteins in atherosclerotic plaques, no therapeutic interventions have been devised to prevent aldehyde accumulation in atherosclerotic ...

Active folic acid degradation with the formation pterin-6-aldehyde is a previously undescribed characteristic of cancer cells in tissue culture. Neither normal adult epithelial and fibroblastic cells nor human amniotic cells nor mouse embryonic fibroblasts degrade folic acid to a measurable degree. Twenty-nine patients whose diagnoses were not revealed until after the test of their first mornin...

BACKGROUND 2-Phenylethylamine is an endogenous amine, which acts as a neuromodulator of dopaminergic responses. Exogenous 2-phenylethylamine is found in certain foodstuffs and may cause toxic side-effects in susceptible individuals. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present investigation examined the metabolism of 2-phenylethylamine to phenylacetic acid, via phenylacetaldehyde, in freshly prepared an...

Studies indicating that vitamin A (1) and vitamin A aldehyde (2) are metabolized to water-soluble degradation products and CO% provide support for the suggestion (3) that there exists an oxidative pathway of major importance in the metabolism of vitamin A. The detection of vitamin A aldehyde in the liver (4, 5) and observations (6-8) that dietary vitamin A acid supports the growth of vitamin A-...

A new family of duplex-forming recognition encoded oligomers, capable sequence selective duplex formation and template directed synthesis, was developed. Monomers equipped with both amine aldehyde groups were functionalized...
