Activation of transient receptor potential vanilloid 3 channel suppresses adipogenesis.

Endocrinology 156 , 2074-86, (2015)

The present study shows that activation of the transient receptor potential vanilloid 3 channel (TRPV3) suppresses adipocyte differentiation. We also found that a major functional catechin compound in green tea and cocoa, (-)-epicatechin, exerts antiadipogeni...

The reverse of the 'repair' reaction of thiols: H-abstraction at carbon by thiyl radicals.

Int. J. Radiat. Biol. Relat. Stud. Phys. Chem. Med. 51(1) , 91-102, (1987)

Thiyl radicals (RS) formed by the reaction of radiolytically generated OH radicals with thiols, e.g. 1,4-dithiothreitol (DTT), react with cis- and trans-2,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuran by abstracting an H atom in the alpha-position to the ether function (k approx...

One-step catalytic transformation of carbohydrates and cellulosic biomass to 2,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuran for liquid fuels.

ChemSusChem 3(5) , 597-603, (2010)

Existing technologies to produce liquid fuels from biomass are typically energy-intensive, multistep processes. Many of these processes use edible biomass as starting material. Carbohydrates, such as mono- and polysaccharides and cellulose, typically constitu...

Mechanistic study of a one-step catalytic conversion of fructose to 2,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuran.

Chemistry 18(39) , 12363-71, (2012)

Carbohydrates, such as fructose, can be fully dehydroxylated to 2,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuran (DMTHF), a valuable chemical and potential gasoline substitute, by the use of a dual catalytic system consisting of HI and RhX(3) (X=Cl, I). A mechanistic study has be...

Kinetics and thermochemistry of 2,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuran and related oxolanes: next next-generation biofuels.

J. Phys. Chem. A 116(18) , 4528-38, (2012)

The enthalpies of formation, entropies, specific heats at constant pressure, enthalpy functions, and all carbon-hydrogen and carbon-methyl bond dissociation energies have been computed using high-level methods for the cyclic ethers (oxolanes) tetrahydrofuran,...

Independent generation and reactivity of 2-deoxy-5-methyleneuridin-5-yl, a significant reactive intermediate produced from thymidine as a result of oxidative stress.

J. Org. Chem. 65(15) , 4648-54, (2000)

2'-Deoxy-5-methyleneuridin-5-yl (1) is produced in a variety of DNA damage processes and is believed to result in the formation of lesions that are mutagenic and refractory to enzymatic repair. 2'-Deoxy-5-methyleneuridin-5-yl (1) was independently generated u...
