Solid phase synthesis of acylglycine human metabolites
摘要:
Acylglycines represents a large and important class of human metabolites. They are often used in medicine to identify fatty acid oxidation disorders. A highly efficient solid phase synthesis approach to obtain these clinically important compounds is developed via coupling reaction between glycine-preloaded Wang resin and a set of carboxylic acids. The developed methodology facilitates the preparation of several structurally-diverse acylglycines with high yields and purity. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The present invention relates generally to the field of nutrition and health. In particular, the present invention relates to a new biomarker, its use and a method that allows it to diagnose the likelihood to resist diet induced weight gain, and/or to be susceptible to a diet induced weight gain. For example, the biomarker may be trimethylamine-N-oxide.
This invention provides methods and biomarkers for diagnosing autism by identifying cellular metabolites differentially produced in autistic patient samples versus non-autistic controls. Methods for identifying a unique profile of metabolites present or secreted in brain tissue, cerebrospinal fluid, plasma, or biofluids of autistic samples are described herein. The individual metabolites or a pattern of secreted metabolites provides metabolic signatures of autism, which can be used to provide a diagnosis thereof.
