Glioblastoma, the most severe form of brain tumor and a leading cause of death within a year of diagnosis, is characterized by excessive protein synthesis and folding in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), leading to increased ER stress in the cells of GBM tissues. To mitigate this stress the cancer cells have intelligently adopted a plethora of response mechanisms and Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) is one of those. To bear with this exhaustive situation cells upregulate a strong protein degradation system in form of 26S proteasome and blocking of proteasomal gene synthesis may be a potential therapeutic action against GBM.

Chiral separation by normal phase high performance liquid chromatography is one of the most powerful technique to quantify the chiral purity of the compounds. In this study, a novel, simple, and specific analytical method was proposed to ascertain the chiral purity of alvimopan (ALV). The normal phase HPLC method was developed based on cellulose tris (3,5-dichlorophenylcarbamate) stationary phase.
