Total synthesis and determination of the stereochemistry of 2-amino-3-cyclopropylbutanoic acid, a novel plant growth regulator isolated from the mushroom Amanita castanopsidis Hongo
The unknown stereostructure of 2-amino-3-cyclopropylbutanoic acid 1, a novel plant growth regulator isolated from the mushroom Amanita castanopsidis Hongo, was determined to be (2S,3S)-2 through its racemic and enantioselective syntheses employing the che
Evaluation of 3-substituted arginine analogs as selective inhibitors of human nitric oxide synthase isozymes
Nitric oxide (NO), a mediator of various physiological and pathophysiological processes, is synthesized by three isozymes of nitric oxide synthase (NOS). In developing candidate clinical drugs, it is very important not to inhibit endothelial NOS, because
