Efficacy of sacubitril/valsartan vs. enalapril at lower than target doses in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction: the PARADIGM-HF trial. [PDF]
AimsIn this analysis, we utilized data from PARADIGM-HF to test the hypothesis that participants who exhibited any dose reduction during the trial would have similar benefits from lower doses of sacubitril/valsartan relative to lower doses of enalapril ...

Enantiopure β‐chlorohydrins are valuable intermediates in organic synthesis, acting as chiral building blocks for obtaining biologically active compounds. This work presents a one‐pot two‐step linear sequence for the efficient deracemization of β‐chlorohydrins by combining a photocatalytic alcohol oxidation with a stereoselective carbonyl bioreduction ...
