Asymmetric synthesis of β-amino acid derivatives by stereocontrolled C(sp3)-C(sp2) cross-electrophile coupling via radical 1,2-nitrogen migration [PDF]

Nature Communications
Optically pure non-natural β-amino acids are noteworthy molecular motifs of numerous pharmaceutically important molecules. Skeletal editing of abundant α-amino acid scaffolds via tandem radical 1,2-N-shift/cross-coupling represents a powerful tool to ...

Eletrophilic Chemistry of Tranilast Is Involved in Its Anti-Colitic Activity via Nrf2-HO-1 Pathway Activation

Pharmaceuticals, 2021
Tranilast (TRL), a synthetic derivative of a tryptophan metabolite, is an anti-allergic drug used to treat bronchial asthma. We investigated how TRL activated the nuclear factor-erythroid 2 p45-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1) pathway based
