The synthesis of 7-oxo and 7-hydroxy trifluoroallocolchicinoids was achieved through the intramolecular cyclization of o-phenyl-β-phenylalanines. The resulting compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against KB cells and their inhibitory effect towards the polymerization of tubulin. The results yielded some potent cytotoxic compounds with correlated partial antitubulin effect.

Wild chervil (Anthriscus sylvestris) is a widespread, wild-growing herbaceous plant from Apiaceae family, known for high content of lignans related to podophyllotoxin, and thus representing a promising new source for their industrial isolation. The data on detailed chemical profile of A. sylvestris lignans are still lacking.

Article Synopsis
- - Knowledge of the chiral composition and absolute configuration (AC) of epoxythymols is crucial, as they can exist as scalemic mixtures or pure enantiomers, and methods like NMR and VCD have been used for their characterization.
- - The study explores the use of electronic circular dichroism (ECD) for determining the AC of an epoxythymol, linking its results with the properties of related known compounds to avoid extensive computations.
- - Various epoxythymol compounds were isolated from plant extracts, and their structures were confirmed through advanced techniques, with the enantiomeric compositions specifically measured using H NMR-BINOL, and AC determined using ECD and VCD methods.
The ratio of ursodeoxycholyltaurine to 7-oxolithocholyltaurine serves as a biomarker of decreased 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 activity in mouse.

Background And Purpose: 11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11β-HSD1) regulates tissue-specific glucocorticoid metabolism and its impaired expression and activity are associated with major diseases. Pharmacological inhibition of 11β-HSD1 is considered a promising therapeutic strategy. This study investigated whether alternative 7-oxo bile acid substrates of 11β-HSD1 or the ratios to their 7-hydroxy products can serve as biomarkers for decreased enzymatic activity.

Objective: The objective of the study was to examine the effects of occupational exposure to diisononyl phthalate (DINP) on serum testosterone levels in male workers.
Methods: From 2015 to 2018, 97 male workers were recruited from six French factories in the plastics industry. In a short longitudinal study, changes over 3 days in the level of total or free serum testosterone and DINP exposure were measured.

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its 7-oxo- and 7-hydroxy-metabolites occurring in the brain are considered neurosteroids. Metabolism of the latter is catalysed by 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11β-HSD) which also interconverts cortisol and cortisone. The concurrent metabolic reaction to DHEA 7-hydroxylation is the formation of 16α-hydroxy-DHEA.
