Effects of Indole Fatty Alcohols on the Differentiation of Neural Stem Cell Derived Neurospheres
摘要:
In a search for inducers of neuronal differentiation to treat neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, a series of indole fatty alcohols (IFAs) were prepared. 13C (n = 18) was able to promote the differentiation of neural stem cell derived neurospheres into neurons at a concentration of 10 nM. Analysis of the expression of the Notch pathway genes in neurospheres treated during the differentiation phase with 13c (n = 18) revealed a significant decrease in the transcription of the Notch 4 receptor.

How the Stereochemistry of a Central Cyclopentyl Ring Influences the Self-Assembling Properties of Archaeal Lipid Analogues: Synthesis and CryoTEM Observations
cyclopentane unit placed in the middle of tetraether archaeal bipolar lipid analogues was found to have a dramatic influence on their supramolecular self-assembling properties. The synthesis of two diastereomers varying only by the stereochemistry of the cyclopentyl unit was achieved following a multistep diastereoselective route. The corresponding lipid films were hydrated and were observed by cryoTEM
