Epimers of Vitamin D: A Review [PDF]
In this review, we discuss the sources, formation, metabolism, function, biological activity, and potency of C3-epimers (epimers of vitamin D). We also determine the role of epimerase in vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) and vitamin D receptors (VDR) according to different subcellular localizations.

Two new xanthone epimers from the processed gamboge
Two new xanthones, gambogollic acid (1), epigambogollic acid (2), together with three rare compounds, gambogellic acid (3), epigambogellic acid (4) and gambogic acid (5), were isolated from the processed gamboge. The new structures were determined by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analysis.

The genetic determinants of circulating C3-epimers of 25-hydroxyvitamin D
Background: The complexity of vitamin D metabolites especially the contribution of C3-epimers of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (C3-epimers) in human sera remains unclear.

An epimer of threose nucleic acid enhances oligonucleotide exonuclease resistance through end capping [PDF]
End capping of oligonucleotides by modified nucleotides is essential for boosting resistance to 3’ exonuclease degradation, thereby enhancing their stability and therapeutic efficacy in vivo.

Investigation of the relationship between ergocristinine and vascular receptors
Ergot alkaloids are secondary metabolites that exist in two configurations, the C-8-R-isomer (R-epimer), and the C-8-S-isomer (S-epimer). Toxic effects of ergot, such as vasoconstriction, have been primarily attributed to the R-epimer bioactivity, as ...

Stereoselective property of 20(S)-protopanaxadiol ocotillol type epimers affects its absorption and also the inhibition of P-glycoprotein. [PDF]
Stereoselectivity has been proved to be tightly related to drug action including pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. (20S,24R)-epoxy-dammarane-3,12,25-triol (24R-epimer) and (20S,24S)-epoxy-dammarane-3,12,25-triol (24S-epimer), a pair of 20(S ...

The Impact of Storage Temperature and Time on Ergot Alkaloid Concentrations
Ergot sclerotia produce toxic secondary metabolites, ergot alkaloids, that infect cereal crops and grasses. Ergot alkaloids have two isomeric configurations: the C-8-R-isomer (R-epimer), and the C-8-S-isomer (S-epimer).

Population Pharmacokinetics and Dosing Regimen Optimization of Latamoxef in Chinese Children
The present study aimed to establish population pharmacokinetic models of latamoxef, as well as its R- and S-epimers, and generate findings to guide the individualized administration of latamoxef in pediatric patients. A total of 145 in-hospital children
