Correlation of GAA Genotype and Acid-α-Glucosidase Enzyme Activity in Hungarian Patients with Pompe Disease.

Pompe disease is caused by the accumulation of glycogen in the lysosomes due to a deficiency of the lysosomal acid-α-glucosidase (GAA) enzyme. Depending on residual enzyme activity, the disease manifests two distinct phenotypes. In this study, we assess an enzymatic and genetic analysis of Hungarian patients with Pompe disease.

Synthesis and stereochemistry of dispiro substituted pyridazines: application of ellipticity-absorbance ratio spectra for proving enantiomeric relationship by HPLC-CD/UV detection.

The aim of our study was to synthesize vinylic and pyrido-fused pyridazines with a spirano moiety and to investigate their stereochemistry by spectroscopic and HPLC analyses. The vinylic compounds 5 were obtained by Knoevenagel condensation of cyclohexylidene malonates 1 with pyridazinecarbaldehyde 2. Compound 5b exhibits geometric isomerism identified by NMR, HPLC, and X-ray methods.
