General description

trans-1,3-Diphenyl-2,3-epoxypropan-1-one has been reported to efficiently participate in gas-phase Meerwein reaction under both electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) conditions. Therapeutic potential of trans-1,3-diphenyl-2,3-epoxypropane-1-one (DPEP), and its anti-inflammatory effects have been studied.

The inhibition of murine cytosolic epoxide hydrolase has been studied with both racemic and enantiomerically pure trans-3-phenylglycidols. These compounds are the first enantioselective, slow binding inhibitors of cytosolic epoxide hydrolase. The (2S,3S)-3-phenylglycidol enantiomer was always a better inhibitor than the

C(alpha)-tetrasubstituted alpha-amino acids constitute a powerful tool for controlling the conformation of short peptide sequences. Chiral peptides may be used in stereoselective reactions both for asymmetric induction and in kinetic resolution. By reviewing recent data from our own laboratories and

Benzil was found to be a very potent activator of microsomal epoxide hydrolase activity (measured with styrene oxide as substrate) in vitro. The activating effect was uncompetitive and benzil causes approximately ninefold increases in both the apparent V and the
