In general, over 70% absorbed nicotine is metabolized to cotinine and trans-3'-hydroxycotinine by cytochrome oxidase P450, and nicotine is also a major addictive and the psychoactive component in cigarettes. As a xenobiotic metabolism, hydrophobic compounds are usually converted into more hydrophilic products through enzyme systems such as cytochrome oxidase P450, sulfotransferases, and UDP-glu...

Changes in the volatile components of unpasteurized and pasteurized makgeolli during 30 days of storage were investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and GC-olfactometry (GC-O). A total of 11 odor-active compounds such as 3-methyl-1-butanol (isoamyl alcohol), 2-methyl-1-butanol, 2,3-butanediol, butanoic acid, 3-methylbutanoic acid (isovaleric acid), 2-methylbutanoic acid, 3-...

The aroma-active compounds in Jinhua ham processed and stored for 9, 12, 15 and 18 months were extracted by dynamic headspace sampling (DHS) and solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) and analyzed by gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry (GC-O-MS). In GC-O-MS, volatile compounds were identified based on their mass spectrum, linear retention index (LRI), odor properties, or refer...

3-[(2-Hydroxyphenyl)amino]butanoic and 3-[(2-hydroxy-5-methyl(chloro)phenyl)amino]butanoic acids were converted to a series of derivatives containing hydrazide, pyrrole and chloroquinoxaline moieties. The corresponding benzo[b]phenoxazine derivatives were synthesized by the reaction of the obtained compounds with 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone. Five of the synthesized compounds exhibited good ...

In the title compound, C(20)H(22)O(8)S, the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 81.6 (3)°. The benzene-connected portions of the alk-oxy substituents are almost coplanar with their respective rings [C-C-O-C torsion angles of 174.77 (17) and -178.5 (4)°]. One of the butanoic acid groups is disordered over two conformations with a site-occupancy ratio 0.719 (6):0.281 (6). In the cryst...

Two new iridoids, 3-(5-(methoxycarbonyl)-2-oxo-2H-pyran-3-yl)butanoic acid, named verbeofflin I (1), and 7-hydroxydehydrohastatoside (2), were isolated from the aerial part of Verbena officinalis L, along with three known iridoids, verbenalin (3), 3,4-dihydroverbenalin (4), hastatoside (5) by means of various column chromatography steps. The structures of these compounds were elucidated through...

In the present study, various amide derivatives of sulfanilamide, sulfamethoxazole, sulfadiazine, dapsone and isoniazid have been synthesized by condensing them with appropriate 4-oxo-4-(4-substituted phenyl)butanoic acid moiety. The compounds have been evaluated for their antiinflammatory, ulcerogenic and antibacterial activities. Their structures were established on the basis of elemental ana...
