It is difficult to control the enantioselectivity in protonation of silyl enol ethers with simple chiral Brønsted acids, mainly due bond flexibility between proton and its counterion, orientational proton, fact that sources available are limited acidic compounds such as carboxylic acids. To overcome these difficulties, we have developed a Lewis acid-assisted acid (LBA) system. The coordination acids restricts orientation protons increases their acidity. Optically active binaphthol (BINOL)...

A previous randomized phase 2 study of hepatocellular carcinoma revealed that the c-Met inhibitor tivantinib as second-line treatment significantly prolonged progression-free survival in a subpopulation whose tumor samples highly expressed (MET-high). Accordingly, this 3 was conducted to evaluate efficacy for Japanese patients with MET-high carcinoma. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled at 60 centers Japan. Hepatocellular one prior sorafenib and those were eligible inclusion....

Abstract Hypoxic training enhances endurance sports tolerance. However, individual responses vary due to physiological differences. This study investigated the relationship between genetic factors and exercise tolerance in hypoxic conditions. randomized crossover included 22 male university students (age 20.8±1.3 years, peak oxygen uptake 54.5±6.5 mL/min/kg). Incremental load tests were conducted assess symptomatic limit on separate days under normoxic conditions (oxygen concentration...
