Application

(S)-(+)-5-Oxo-2-tetrahydrofurancarboxylic acid may be used as a ligand to form water-soluble silver(I) complexes by reacting with silver oxide. These complexes show good antibacterial and antifungal activities. It may also be used a chiral resolving agent during the multi-step synthesis of phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate [PtdIns(3,5)P2].
Used to prepare municatacin analogs which show cytotoxic activity on tumor cells.

General description

(S)-(+)-5-Oxo-2-tetrahydrofurancarboxylic acid is a chiral derivatizing agent for alcohols.

Alkb homolog 7 (ALKBH7) is a mitochondrial α-ketoglutarate dioxygenase required for DNA alkylation-induced necrosis, but its function and substrates remain unclear. Herein, we show ALKBH7 regulates dialdehyde metabolism, which impacts the cardiac response to ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. Using a multi-omics
