Neurological disorders (Alzheimer's disease, vascular and mixed dementia) and visual loss (cataract, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy) are among the most common conditions that afflict people of at least 65 years of age. An increasing body of evidence is emerging, which demonstrates that memory and vision impairment are closely, significantly, and positively linked and that statins and aspirin may lessen the risk of developing age-related visual and neurological problems. However, clinical studies have produced contradictory results.

The structure determination confirms the stereochemistry of the title compound, C(21)H(35)NO(3), obtained as an inter-mediate in the enanti-oselective synthesis of de-oxy-nojirimicine analogs. The system contains a pyrrolo-[1,2-a]azocine backbone, which was synthesized by a domino process involving a [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. The incorporation of a chiral auxiliary (-)-menthyl, whose stereocentres are not involved during the synthesis, enables the assignation of absolute configuration.

Background: Alzheimer's disease is the most common progressive neurodegenerative disease. In recent years, numerous progresses in the discovery of novel Alzheimer's disease molecular biomarkers in brain as well as in biological fluids have been made. Among them, those involving lipid metabolism are emerging as potential candidates.
