The enantiomers of ciprofibrate may be achieved by enantioselective HPLC separation of its methylesters using a OD - Daicel column. Ciprofibrates (racemate and both enantiomers) bind to oxidized cytochrome P-450 in rat liver microsomes according type II like aniline or most probably as inversed type I, but less pronounced and with a general shift to the left. Ethylmorphine N-demethylation, ethoxycoumarin and ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation are all inhibited by the ciprofibrates, most effectively ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation by S(-)-ciprofibrate even in microM concentrations. Microsomal luminol and lucigenin amplified chemiluminescence indicating the formation of reactive oxygen species, microsomal hydrogen peroxide formation and NADPH/Fe stimulated lipid peroxidation were inhibited in a concentration dependent manner in concentration ranges between mM and microM. This might be due to distinct scavenger activities of all 3 compounds: the zymosan stimulated chemiluminescence of whole blood was completely inhibited in mM concentrations and influenced significantly down to concentrations of 10 microM, whereas burst and phagocytosis tests with human polynuclear leucocytes were not influenced.

Human lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) is a homotetrameric isozyme involved in the conversion of glyoxylate into oxalate in the cytosol of liver cells (hepatocytes) and partially responsible for the overproduction of oxalate in patients with the rare disease called primary hyperoxaluria (PH). Recently, LDHA inhibition has been validated as a safe therapeutic method to try to control the PH disease. Stiripentol (STP) is an approved drug used in the treatment of seizures associated with Dravet's syndrome (a severe form of epilepsy in infancy) which, in addition, has been drawing interest in recent years also for potentially treating PH, due to its LDHA inhibitory activity.

We report the synthesis of three radical-cation salts of BEDT-TTF from racemic tris(oxalato)ferrate by electrocrystallization in the presence of chiral molecules. In the presence of enantiopure l-(+)-tartaric acid, we observe spontaneous resolution of the labile tris(oxalato)ferrate anion to produce the chiral radical-cation salt α-(BEDT-TTF)[Δ-Fe(CO)].[l-(+)-tartaric acid] which contains only the Δ enantiomer of Fe(CO).

Chiral organic molecules with a complementing π-structure are highly desired to obtain materials with good semiconducting properties and pronounced chirality effects in the visible region. Herein, we introduce a novel design strategy to achieve an axially chiral and rigid perylene bisimide (PBI) dye by attaching the chirality-inducing 2,2'-biphenoxy moiety at one side of the bay area and the rigidity-inducing di--butylsilanediol bridge on the other side. This yielded a new bay-functionalized PBI derivative carrying the combination of a highly rigid and, simultaneously, an axially chiral perylene core.

Enantiomeric analysis of chiral drugs is very significant, as their enantiomers display different pharmacological or toxicological behavior towards living systems. Among these drugs, β-blockers are available as racemates, where their enantiomers display different pharmacological effects. Herein, we report enantioselective separation of two β-blockers, namely, atenolol and sotalol, using a derivatization approach.
