Drug metabolism and disposition: the biological fate of chemicals, 15(4), 535-539 (1987-07-01)
The contribution of the liver and kidney to the optical isomerization of (R)-(-)-2-phenylpropionic acid (hydratropic acid (HTA] was examined by iv injection of racemic HTA (20 mg/kg) to nephrectomized and bile duct-ligated rats (NEBL-rats), eviscerated rats with nonfunctioning livers (EVIS-rats)
Chunze Li et al.
Chemical research in toxicology, 15(10), 1309-1317 (2002-10-22)
Chemically reactive species formed from the metabolism of carboxylic acid-containing compounds have been proposed as mediators of their toxic side-effects. Two alternative metabolic pathways known to be involved in the generation of reactive acylating metabolites of carboxylic acids are acyl
D Ahmad et al.
Chirality, 6(5), 365-371 (1994-01-01)
The significance of disturbances of lipid metabolism caused by xenobiotic acyl-CoAs as possible causes of peroxisomal proliferation has been studied with the enantiomers of 2-phenylpropionic acid (2-PPA), the (R)-enantiomer of which is converted to the acyl-CoA in rats while its

The usefulness of thin-layer chromatography (TLC) as an efficient measuring technique in the studies of oscillatory trans-enantiomerization of profens from the S to the R configuration (and vice versa) during their storage as 70% ethanol solutions is demonstrated in the
M J Thomason et al.
Chirality, 9(3), 254-260 (1997-01-01)
Previous investigations have described the development of nongrowing suspensions of Verticillium lecanii as a microbial model of the mammalian chiral inversion of the 2-arylpropionic acids (2-APAs). Mechanistic studies in mammals have shown that inversion involves loss of the alpha-methine proton
