Exploring the Phytochemical Landscape of the Early-Diverging Flowering Plant Amborella trichopoda Baill. [PDF]
Although the evolutionary significance of the early-diverging flowering plant Amborella (Amborella trichopoda Baill.) is widely recognized, its metabolic landscape, particularly specialized metabolites, is currently underexplored.

Chemoprevention of aberrant crypt foci in the colon of rats by dietary onion [PDF]
Onion intake might reduce the risk of colorectal cancer, according to epidemiology. However, Femia showed in 2003 that diets with a 20% onion intake increase carcinogenesis in rats. We speculated this dose was too high.

Remote participation during glycosylation reactions of galactose building blocks: Direct evidence from cryogenic vibrational spectroscopy [PDF]
The stereoselective formation of 1,2‐cis‐glycosidic bonds is challenging. However, 1,2‐cis‐selectivity can be induced by remote participation of C4 or C6 ester groups.

Genetic control of sterol esterification in developing wheat endosperm [PDF]
1. 1. The action of gene Pln, previously characterized by the sterol ester patterns of mature whole wheat kernels, has been found to be restricted to the endosperm and not to affect the embryo, the pericarp or the seed coat. 2. 2.

Hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic and antioxidant effects of iridoid glycosides extracted from: Corni fructus: Possible involvement of the PI3K-Akt/PKB signaling pathway [PDF]
Iridoid glycosides (CIG) are the major component of Corni fructus. In this work, we researched the antioxidative, hypoglycemic and lowering blood lipids effects of CIG on diabetic mice induced by a high-fat diet (HFD) and streptozotocin (STZ ...

Elucidating the Stereodirecting Effect of C‐4 Acyl Groups on Galactosyl Donors
Tipping the balance of the reaction coordinate by changing a single protecting group. We demonstrate that α‐ and β‐galactosyl triflates are formed during galactosylation reactions and likely glycosylate according to a Curtin–Hammett scenario. C‐4 acyl groups exert their stereodirecting effect by sterically blocking displacement of α‐galactosyl ...
