Abstract
Excess aldosterone production and signaling are primary contributors to numerous cardiovascular disorders including primary aldosteronism and resistant hypertension. Recently, inhibition of aldosterone synthesis via the enzyme aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) has been pursued to ameliorate the negative effects of elevated aldosterone. Herein, we report the development of aldosterone synthase inhibitors using a pyrimidine-based metal binding group leading to the highly selective CYP11B2 inhibitor 22. Superior selectivity combined with robust pharmacokinetics afforded highly selective in vivo aldosterone suppression in a monkey model of adrenal steroidogenesis, demonstrating the potential for selective aldosterone lowering in humans with pyrimidine 22.

Abstract
Modulation of gastrointestinal nutrient sensing pathways provides a promising a new approach for the treatment of metabolic diseases including diabetes and obesity. The calcium-sensing receptor has been identified as a key receptor involved in mineral and amino acid nutrient sensing and thus is an attractive target for modulation in the intestine. Herein we describe the optimization of gastrointestinally restricted calcium-sensing receptor agonists starting from a 3-aminopyrrolidine-containing template leading to the identification of GI-restricted agonist 19 (GSK3004774).

Abstract
The long chain free fatty acid receptor 4 (FFA4/GPR120) has recently been recognized as lipid sensor playing important roles in nutrient sensing and inflammation and thus holds potential as a therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. To explore the effects of stimulating this receptor in animal models of metabolic disease, we initiated work to identify agonists with appropriate pharmacokinetic properties to support progression into in vivo studies. Extensive SAR studies of a series of phenylpropanoic acids led to the identification of compound 29, a FFA4 agonist which lowers plasma glucose in two preclinical models of type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) signaling modulates sweet-taste sensitivity in the
mouse. Because circumvallate papillae (CVPs) express both GLP-1 and its receptor, a
local regulation has been suggested. However, whether dietary lipids are involved in
this regulation, as shown in the gut, is unknown. By using a combination of
biochemical, immunohistochemical, and behavioral approaches, the present data i)
confirm the role of GLP-1 signaling in the attraction for sucrose, ii) demonstrate
that minute quantities of long-chain FAs (LCFAs) reinforce the attraction for sucrose
in a GLP-1 receptor-dependent manner, iii) suggest an involvement of the LCFA
receptor GPR120 expressed in taste buds in this system, and iv) support the existence
of a regulation by GLP-1 of the lipid sensing mediated by lingual CD36. Therefore,
oro-sensory detection of LCFAs may affect sweet and fatty taste responsiveness by
controlling the secretion of lingual GLP-1. This regulatory loop, probably triggered
by the LCFA-GPR120 interaction, might contribute to the high palatability of foods
rich both in fat and sugar.

Abstract
A triply convergent total synthesis of vineomycinone B2 methyl ester has been achieved by an approach with a longest linear sequence of 16 steps. The synthesis features the use of silicon tethers as disposable linkers to control the regiochemistry in two tandem Diels-Alder reactions of substituted benzynes and glycosyl furans to provide rapid access to the fully intact anthrarufin core of vineomycinone B2 methyl ester.

Abstract
We have exploited tandem intramolecular benzyne-furan cycloadditions employing three different benzyne precursors to generate substituted bisoxabenzonorbornadienes in a single operation. The regiochemical outcomes in these Diels-Alder reactions were effectively controlled by using disposable silicon tethers to link the reacting benzynes and furan moieties. Two different methods for converting the intermediate bisoxabenzonorbornadienes to substituted anthrarufins were developed. The first tactic entails the initial cleavage of the silicon tethers followed by regioselective ring opening of the oxabicycloheptadienes and oxidation of the central ring giving the target anthrarufin, whereas the second features the regioselective ring opening of the oxabicycloheptadienes followed by protiodesilylation and oxidation. When the starting furans bear carbohydrate substitutents, this new methodology enables the rapid assembly of the glycosyl-substituted aromatic cores of complex C-aryl glycoside antibiotics from simple starting materials. The utility of this novel approach to anthrarufins and C-aryl glycosides is exemplified in a triply convergent synthesis of vineomycinone B(2) methyl ester.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is a complex metabolic disease with hyperglycemia as its recognizable hallmark. Hepatic glucose output is elevated in Type 2 diabetic patients, and evidence suggests drugs which lower hepatic glucose production are effective antihyperglycemic agents. Glycogenolysis, which is the release of monomeric glucose from its polymeric storage form called glycogen, is a key contributor to hepatic glucose output. Glycogen phosphorylase is the enzyme that catalyzes this process. This review covers advances in the design of small molecule inhibitors of this enzyme, their biological activity, and their potential as effective antihyperglycemic agents for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Heteroatom variants of the type 2 intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction provide an efficient method for the preparation of bridged bicyclic heterocycles. The type 2 variant of the intramolecular N-acylnitroso Diels-Alder reaction is an effective method for the synthesis of bridged bicyclic oxazinolactams. Structural studies of the cycloadducts have allowed for quantification of the deformations of the bridgehead functionalities and provided a strategy for the stereoselective synthesis of substituted seven- and eight-membered ring lactams. Diastereoselective cycloadditions followed by cleavage of the oxazine ring afford azepin-2-ones or azocin-2-ones.

Abstract
Silicon tethers were employed to control the regiochemistry of Diels-Alder reactions between substituted benzynes and glycosyl furans as a key step in the syntheses of unsymmetrical representatives of three major groups of C-aryl glycosides. The cycloaddition precursors were readily prepared by O-alkylation of substituted phenols with various sugar-substituted furylsilane derivatives. Selective deprotonation on the benzene ring of these ethers led to a benzyne that underwent an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction to give bridged cycloadducts. Fluoride-induced removal of the silicon tether and acid-catalyzed ring opening of the oxabicycloheptadiene subunit yielded the desired C-aryl glycosides as single isomers.

In the second entry, N-((4-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethoxy)methyl-6-benzyloxy-3Z,5E-hexadienoyl)-1-aza-2-ethoxy-1,3-butadiene (40) undergoes cycloaddition to produce as the major product (4aS,7R,8aS)-7-benzyloxy-5-((2-trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethoxy)methyl-3,4,4a,7,8,8a-hexahydroisoquinol-3-one (41). Cycloadduct 41 is then stereospecifically elaborated to (4aS,5S,6R,7R,8aR)-6-methoxy-5-methoxycarbonyl-7-(3,4,5-trimethoxy)benzoyldecahydroisoquinoline-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (3), a key intermediate previously transformed to reserpine.

Abstract
[reaction: see text] The type 2 intramolecular N-acylnitroso Diels-Alder reaction has been employed for the synthesis of substituted bridged bicyclic oxazinolactams. Upon oxidation of hydroxamic acid 6, a 3-benzylated oxazinolactam (7) was synthesized with complete diastereoselectivity. Elaboration of cycloadduct 7 liberated a cis-3,7-disubstituted azocin-2-one (9).

Abstract
A series of 2-amino-5-arylthiobenzonitriles (1) was found to be active against HIV-1. Structural modifications led to the sulfoxides (2) and sulfones (3). The sulfoxides generally showed antiviral activity against HIV-1 similar to that of 1. The sulfones, however, were the most potent series of analogues, a number having activity against HIV-1 in the nanomolar range. Structural-activity relationship (SAR) studies suggested that a meta substituent, particularly a meta methyl substituent, invariably increased antiviral activities. However, optimal antiviral activities were manifested by compounds where both meta groups in the arylsulfonyl moiety were substituted and one of the substituents was a methyl group. Such a disubstitution led to compounds 3v, 3w, 3x, and 3y having IC50 values against HIV-1 in the low nanomolar range. When gauged for their broad-spectrum antiviral activity against key non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) related mutants, all the di-meta-substituted sulfones 3u-z and the 2-naphthyl analogue 3ee generally showed single-digit nanomolar activity against the V106A and P236L strains and submicromolar to low nanomolar activity against strains E138K, V108I, and Y188C. However, they showed a lack of activity against the K103N and Y181C mutant viruses. The elucidation of the X-ray crystal structure of the complex of 3v (739W94) in HIV-1 reverse transcriptase showed an overlap in the binding domain when compared with the complex of nevirapine in HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. The X-ray structure allowed for the rationalization of SAR data and potencies of the compounds against the mutants.

Abstract
Anti-Bredt alkenes, bicyclic molecules that contain a bridgehead double bond, were for many years regarded as chemical curiosities. The type 2 intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA) reaction provides a one-step entry into this fascinating class of molecules. The reaction has made available numerous anti-Bredt alkenes for structural and chemical studies. X-ray crystallography has revealed the magnitude of the deformations associated with the bridgehead double bond, and rate studies of reactions of bridgehead alkenes have allowed quantification of the kinetic consequences of the torsional distortions. More recently, the type 2 intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction and the resulting anti-Bredt alkenes have found application in organic synthesis. The constraints resulting from the connectivity in the Diels-Alder precursor creates a strong regio- and stereochemical bias in the cycloaddition step. The end result of this bias is the stereoselective synthesis of highly substituted six-membered rings. The reaction also achieves a facile synthesis of seven- and eight-membered rings in a single step from acyclic precursors. The utility of this reaction has been verified in recent applications of the type 2 IMDA reaction as a key step in the total synthesis of complex natural products.

This article describes and compares five popular general search tools and two popular general metasearch tools. The tools and their related files in February 1998 are the source of information and illustrations. A MEDLINE(R) search no longer guarantees retrieval of the most current, relevant, appropriate, and useful information. To meet demands for current information, the World Wide Web (WWW) must be searched. However, the enormous size of the WWW makes finding relevant information a difficult task. Fortunately, there are many automated search tools that can assist in locating relevant information quickly. Choosing the most appropriate tool depends on the type of information being sought.

Abstract
In a prospective observational study of 40 nurses (20 with diagnosed hand irritation and 20 without), nurses with damaged hands did not have higher microbial counts (P = .63), but did have a greater number of colonizing species (means: 3.35 and 2.63, P = .03). Although numbers were small, nurses with damaged hands were significantly more likely to be colonized with Staphylococcus hominis (P = .03). Fifty-nine percent of S hominis isolates from nurses with damaged hands were resistant to methicillin compared with 27% of isolates from those with healthy skin (P = .14). Twenty percent of nurses with damaged hands were colonized with Staphylococcus aureus compared with none of the nurses with normal hands (P = .11). Nurses with damaged hands were also twice as likely to have gram-negative bacteria (P = .20), entercocci (P = .13), and Candida (P = .30) present on the hands. Antimicrobial resistance of the coagulase-negative staphylococcal flora (with the exception of S hominis) did not differ between the 2 groups, nor did a trend toward increasing resistance exist when compared with other studies during the past decade. Skin moisturizers and protectant products were used almost universally by nurses at work, primarily products brought from home. Efforts to improve hand condition are warranted because skin damage can change microbial flora. Such efforts should include assessment or monitoring of hand care practices, formal institutional policy adoption and control of use of skin protectant products or lotions, and prudent use of latex gloves or more widespread use of powder-free and nonlatex products.

Abstract
Diagnostic content validation of nursing diagnoses is a recommended means to confirm the defining characteristics necessary to establish a specific nursing diagnosis. The diagnostic content validity model has been used in numerous studies to develop lists of major and minor defining characteristics recommended by experts as being present in patients with specific diagnoses. The authors provide an overview of the diagnostic content validity model, review the meaning and purposes of content validity, discuss problems with information processing, and suggest revisions to the diagnostic content validity model. Incorporation of these changes may improve the usability of nursing diagnoses in clinical practice, education, and research.

Abstract
Electronic networks can provide access to other nurses locally and around the world via electronic mail and on-line interactions. Networks can give nurses access to information and to the data that are processed and stored in computers in their own facility and in computers at remote sites. The major international networks, Internet, FidoNet, and BITNET each offer these opportunities. In addition, Internet, the network most useful to nurses, allows access to Sigma Theta Tau's International Nursing Library, E.T.Net, and the MEDLARS family of bibliographic data bases. Taking advantage of the services and resources networks offer can facilitate nursing practice, education, and research.

Abstract
The maintenance of skin integrity is considered to be a survival need in the human need nursing framework. Risk factors for the nursing diagnosis High Risk For Impaired Skin Integrity: Pressure Ulcer were identified in a diagnostic content validity study. The purpose of this study was to use a pressure ulcer risk assessment instrument based on results of that study. The clinical validation model was used to analyze the ulcer risk factor cluster present in a sample of older adults residing in two nursing homes in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. A convenience sample of 108 residents were each assessed independently by two research assistants. Interrater reliability of the instrument was 93 percent. There were eight risk factors present in more than 60 percent of the subjects in the pressure ulcer group; six in the high risk group, and five in the low risk group. Findings suggest that three factors may be the best discriminators for pressure ulcer risk: (1) friction, (2) being dependent in self-care, and (3) being confined to bed/chair.
