General description

trans-1,3-Diphenyl-2,3-epoxypropan-1-one has been reported to efficiently participate in gas-phase Meerwein reaction under both electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) conditions. Therapeutic potential of trans-1,3-diphenyl-2,3-epoxypropane-1-one (DPEP), and its anti-inflammatory effects have been studied.

Benzil was found to be a very potent activator of microsomal epoxide hydrolase activity (measured with styrene oxide as substrate) in vitro. The activating effect was uncompetitive and benzil causes approximately ninefold increases in both the apparent V and the

Chalcone oxides and several isosteric compounds have been prepared to examine the importance of the alpha,beta-epoxyketone moiety in the inhibition of the hydrolysis of [3H]-trans-stilbene oxide to its meso-diol by mouse liver cytosolic epoxide hydrolase (cEH). Inhibition of microsomal EH

Safe and effective chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of pancreatic cancer remain elusive. We found that chalcone epoxides (1,3-diaryl-2,3-epoxypropanones) inhibited growth in two pancreatic cancer cell lines, BxPC-3 and MIA PaCa-2. Three compounds were active, with GI(50) values of 5.6

The inhibition of murine cytosolic epoxide hydrolase has been studied with both racemic and enantiomerically pure trans-3-phenylglycidols. These compounds are the first enantioselective, slow binding inhibitors of cytosolic epoxide hydrolase. The (2S,3S)-3-phenylglycidol enantiomer was always a better inhibitor than the
