The racemic mixture, [6RS]-5-formyltetrahydrofolate, is widely used clinically. In human subjects, orally-administered pure unnatural C-6 isomers, [6R]-5-formyltetrahydrofolate and [6S]-5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate, were recently shown to be metabolized to the natural isomer, [6S]-5-methyltetrahydrofolate. We re-analysed the data from human studies published during the past four decades in whi...

We report a case of monosomy for the distal region of the short arm of chromosome 10 (p13----ter) associated with trisomy for the terminal region of the long arm of chromosome 5 (q35.2----ter) that had originated from adjacent 1 segregation of a maternal reciprocal balanced translocation (5;10)(q35.2;p13). We review the clinical findings of previously reported cases of both partial monosomy for...

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(24)H(16)BrN(3)OS(3), contains three approximately planar fragments, viz. an oxadiazole ring plus two adjacent thio-phene groups, and two phenothia-zine benzene rings, with largest deviations from the least-squares planes of 0.051 (3), 0.019 (4) and 0.014 (3) Å, respectively. The phenothia-zine unit adopts a butterfly conformation, with a dihedral angle of ...
