Lipase-catalysed esterification reaction in a tubular reactor

Summary Lipozyme catalysed esterification of oleic acid with lauryl alcohol was studied in a tubular recycle reactor. Water formed during the reaction was removed by adsorption, either by passing the product mixture through another column packed with molecular sieve, or by packing the reactor partially with silica gel.     

Fuel mobilization for energy metabolism in the silkmoth, Bombyx mori, during reproductive processes

Flight muscles of male moth, B. mori seem to utilize carbohydrate preferentially as a source of energy for all its acrobatic movements during the search for female moth. Depletion of triacylglycerol from flight muscles without affecting its level from fat body suggests that this lipid fraction serves as a source of energy in flight muscles during insemination processes. Significant depletion of triacylglycerol and glycogen from flight muscles of female moth after egg laying indicates that they are used to meet the energy requirement of female during oviposition activity. Depletion of proteins from flight muscles of male and female insects suggest that these proteins are transported to the accessory reproductive glands to meet their protein demand.

Design and synthesis of novel 2,4-disubstituted aminopyrimidines: reversible non-covalent T790M EGFR inhibitors

Abstract

Cardiotoxicity is one amongst the adverse effect of Osimertinib delineate in clinical trials and related to escalating doses. To triumph over the drawbacks of Osimertinib, in this study, we tend to delineate the design, synthesis, in vitro biological analysis of a series of novel reversible selective T790M inhibitors with minimal cardiotoxicity. Amongst the virtually sorted compounds; compound 18 and 74 have been located to be the foremost active compounds of the series with IC₅₀ value of 0.88, 0.92?μM in cellular assay and 0.56, 0.62?μM in enzymatic assay, against double mutant L858R/T790M EGFR. Additionally, they showed much less affinity toward wild-type (WT)-EGFR with minimal cardiotoxicity.
