Propyl Gallate, a Strong Antioxidant, Increases the Ca2+ Sensitivity of Cardiac Myofilament
Ca2+ sensitizers are cardiotonic agents that directly increase the Ca2+ sensitivity of cardiac myofilament. To find a novel Ca2+ sensitizer, we have screened a group of phenolic compounds by examining their effects on the Ca2+-dependent force generation ...

"Oxygen sensing" by Na,K-ATPase: These miraculous thiols [PDF]
Control over the Na,K-ATPase function plays a central role in adaptation of the organisms to hypoxic and anoxic conditions. As the enzyme itself does not possess O2 binding sites its "oxygen-sensitivity" is mediated by a variety of redox-sensitive ...

Twin natural products. This manuscript describes a concise biomimetic synthesis of twin abeo‐steroids bufogargarizins A and B with an unusual [7.5.6.5] and [5.7.6.5] skeletons in 19 steps (LLS). The described synthetic approach features the application of a bioinspired regiodivergent intramolecular aldol addition reaction and a selective singlet oxygen‐
