An excessive duodenal reflux induced by surgery has been widely accepted to cause gastric carcinogenesis in the remnant stomach. As one of causative factors for malignancy, N-nitroso compounds produced by enteric bacteria have been postulated. However, there is no concrete

As proline plays an important role in biologically active peptides, many analogues of this residue have been developed to modulate the proportion of cis and trans conformers. A correlation between the pyrrolidine ring shape and structural properties of proline has
It is well established that L-proline has several roles in the biology of trypanosomatids. In Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas' disease, this amino acid is involved in energy metabolism, differentiation processes and resistance to osmotic stress. In this
By using internal combinatorial library we were able to identify (4R)-thiazolidines carboxylic acid and its 2-substituted analogs as active inhibitors of urease. Molecular modeling and virtual screening were utilized to find out potential compounds. Computational techniques were employed at database
