“…by glucocorticoid levels. 538 In addition to testosterone we also analysed corticosterone, known in quadrupeds as 539 a main glucocorticoid hormone involved in stress response (Hill et al, 1991;Palme et al, 540 2005). Using non-invasive sampling, we were able to measure basal values rather than pulse-541 like fluctuations (Palme, 2012).…”

A Domino Dearomative ipso-Annulation/Desymmetrization Approach: Stereoselective Access to Tricyclic Alkaloid Skeletons

“…These are a class of privileged structural units embedded in various natural alkaloids displaying a range of biological activities (Figure ). The present method offers a first instance of the domino ipso -annulation/desymmetrization of N -benzyl-acrylamides with 1,3-dicarbonyls involving consecutive alkylation/dearomative cyclization and Michael addition, aided by the dicarbonyl-alkyl functionality …”
