The study was carried out in 92 rheumatoid arthritis patients. Serum level of tartrateresistant acid phosphatase-5b (TRAP-5b) and cathepsin K was measured using ELISA. Serum rheumatoid factor (RF) and C-reactive protein (CRP) was recorded by the attending rheumatologists. The C-reactive protein (CRP) was quantified using a latex immunoturbidimetric method. The rheumatoid arthritis (RA) was measured by turbidimetric immunoassay method. The bone mineral density (BMD) T-score was calculated according to WHO guidelines. Reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) was used to determine the expression of cathepsin K. The rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients were categorized into three groups based on the DAS28 score as inactive (DAS ≤ 3.2), moderately active (DAS > 3.2 ≤ 5.1) and very active (DAS > 5.1) at the time of admission. Out of 92 patients, 16 (17.4%) patients had inactive disease condition, 42 (45.6%) patients had moderately active disease condition and 34 (37%) patients had very active disease condition. The mean BMD was significantly lower in very active (0.28 ± 0.04; p < 0.001) as compared with moderately active (0.71 ± 0.13; p < 0.001) and inactive (1.21 ± 0.14). TRAP5b and cathepsin K showed significant increases in very active group (p < 0.001) as compared with moderately active (p < 0.001) and inactive groups. In conclusion, The biomarker TRAP-5b and cathepsin K identified in this study may become a new and highly specific biomarker for rheumatoid arthritis","PeriodicalId":8846,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Organic & Medicinal Chemistry","volume":"4 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135975082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The hydroboration of alkynes with dibromoborane-methyl sulfide complex followed by treatment with trimethylene glycol provides stable (E)-1-alkenylboronate esters. These boronate esters readily undergo “ate” complexes with a hindered base such as potassium-tert.-butoxide. The transmetalation of the alkenyl group from boron to copper via the “ate” complexes retains the original stereochemistry defined from the starting alkenylboronate esters. The effect of representative bases on stereodefined alkenylboronate esters and subsequent reaction of these boronate esters in the transmetalation reaction with copper(I) bromidemethyl sulfide is investigated. The resulting stereo-defined alkenyl copper species generated in situ readily couple with allylic bromide to give the corresponding 1,4-dienes with retention of stereochemistry. Since (Z)-1-alkenylboronate esters are easily accessible, both cisand trans-isomeric 1,4-dienes are synthesized.","PeriodicalId":8846,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Organic & Medicinal Chemistry","volume":"106 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135974937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
