midazolines was prepared and evaluated for central nervous system (CNS) effects (antidepressant, anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant, and depressant) in animal models. Some separation of those CNS activities was achieved through substitutions on the phenyl and imidazoline moieties. Halo-substituted phenyl compounds were among the most potent antidepressants in this series, while imidazole N-alkylation
Applaudable promiscuity: Racemase‐type activity discovered for B. cepacialipase with N‐substituted α‐aminonitriles is proposed to involve a CC bond‐breaking/forming mechanism in the hydrolase site of the enzyme, as supported by experimental data and calculations. This promiscuous activity in combination with the transacylation activity of the enzyme enabled the asymmetric synthesis of N‐methyl α‐aminonitrile
