RESUMO
A catalytic asymmetric allylation of 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline was carried out with allyltrimethoxylsilane-Cu as the nucleophile in the presence of DTBM-SEGPHOS as the chiral ligand to afford corresponding chiral 1-allyltetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives in good yield and stereoselectivity. The allyl adduct thus obtained was applied to the synthesis of several isoquinoline alkaloids such as crispine A and homolaudanosine. The reaction was further used for the synthesis of the isoquinoline moiety of schulzeine A.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of the maximum lifetime body mass index (max BMI) with hemodialysis initiation and comorbidities in Japanese hemodialysis patients. METHODS: In a retrospective cross-sectional study on 724 hemodialysis patients, max BMI, age at hemodialysis initiation, and comorbidities including sleep apnea syndrome, cerebro-cardiovascular diseases, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) were analyzed. Early hemodialysis initiation was defined as age <50 years. RESULT: Diabetes patients showed a higher max BMI and prevalence of atherosclerotic diseases than nondiabetes patients, despite almost the same age at hemodialysis initiation. Patients with early hemodialysis initiation showed higher male ratio, prevalence of PDR, and max BMI than those with later initiation, despite almost equal prevalence of diabetes. Receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis determined a max BMI of 28.4 kg/m2 as a reliable cutoff value for predicting early hemodialysis initiation, and this parameter was identified as an independent predictor of early hemodialysis initiation using bivariate logistic regression analysis. Vitrectomy for PDR also tended to contribute independently to early hemodialysis initiation. CONCLUSION: A high max BMI contributed to early hemodialysis initiation independent of diabetes. Furthermore, PDR was associated with a high max BMI and early hemodialysis initiation. These results suggest that weight reduction in young chronic kidney disease patients with obesity may prevent hemodialysis and blindness.
