We report a state-of-the-art synthesis and isolation procedure for 13 Lewis base iminium salts (LBI) of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), confirming their structures meticulously by different spectral data.

S1PR3 is a ubiquitously expressed G-protein coupled receptor that regulates immune system function, although its regulation of other biological processes is not well understood. Pharmacological activators of S1PR3 might provide important insights for understanding the neural substrates underlying sociability.

Although lifestyle modifications, such as diet and physical activity, remain the first-line treatments, recent anti-obesity medications (AOMs) have been shown to achieve greater reductions in body weight and fat mass. However, AOMs also reduce fat-free mass, including skeletal muscle, which has been demonstrated to account for 20% to 50% of total weight loss.
