- CARBAMATE DERIVATIVES OF LACTAM BASED N-ACYLETHANOLAMINE ACID AMIDASE (NAAA) INHIBITORS
-
Described herein are compounds and pharmaceutical compositions which inhibit N-acylethanolamine acid amidase (NAAA). Described herein are methods for synthesizing the compounds set forth herein and methods for formulating these compounds as pharmaceutical compositions which include these compounds. Also described herein are methods of inhibiting NAAA in order to sustain the levels of palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) and other N-acylethanolamines (NAE) that are substrates for NAAA, in conditions characterized by reduced concentrations of NAE. Also, described here are methods of treating and ameliorating pain, inflammation, inflammatory diseases, and other disorders in which modulation of fatty acid ethanolamides is clinically or therapeutically relevant or in which decreased levels of NAE are associated with the disorder.

- A new paradigm for biohydroxylation by Beauveria bassiana ATCC 7159
-
The biohydroxylation of a series of amides and related amino, keto and hydrocarbon substrates by the fungal biocatalyst Beauveria bassiana ATCC 7159 has been examined. The product distributions, together with data obtained from selective inhibition experiments using the cyt.P-450 inhibitors isosafrole, 1-aminobenzotriazole and phenylacetylene, suggest that B. bassiana contains a range of hydroxylase enzymes with different substrate specificities. A paradigm is presented for the interpretation of the results of microbial hydroxylation and for the application of existing active site models for B. bassiana.

- Rearrangement of allylic and propargylic alcohols catalyzed by the combined use of tetrabutylammonium perrhenate(VII) and p-toluenesulfonic acid
-
Allylic rearrangement and/or dehydration reaction of allylic alcohols proceeds smoothly by the use of catalytic amounts of tetrabutylammonium perrhenate and p-toluenesulfonic acid hydrate. Treatment of propargylic alcohols with the catalysts at room temperature affords the rearranged products, α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, while β,γ-unsaturated ketones are obtained as main products by the reaction in refluxing 1,2-dichloroethane. The application of this catalytic system is also described for the preparation of some synthetic intermediates.
