Boron clusters in liquid crystals
Kaszynski,Huang,Jenkins,Bairamov,Lipiak
, p. 315 - 332 (1995)
3-Dimensional aromatic moiety was used for the first time in the synthesis of liquid crystals. Several of the prepared compounds, based on σ-aromatic boron clusters 1 and 2, show only nematic mesophases with relatively high Ti, good electrochemical but limited thermal stability. Absorption and emission spectra of pyridine derivative 15 are reported. Semiempirical methods were employed in evaluation of molecular properties and design of molecules with large coaxial dipole moments.

Endothelial lipase (EL) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) are homologous lipases that act on plasma lipoproteins. EL is predominantly a phospholipase and appears to be a key regulator of plasma HDL-C. LPL is mainly a triglyceride lipase regulating (V)LDL levels. The existing biological data indicate that inhibitors selective for EL over LPL should have anti-atherogenic activity, mainly through increasing plasma HDL-C levels. We report here the synthesis of alkyl, aryl, or acyl-substituted phenylboronic acids that inhibit EL. Many of the inhibitors evaluated proved to be nearly equally potent against both EL and LPL, but several exhibited moderate to good selectivity for EL.
