Sitosterol xanthomatosis.

BACKGROUND: Sitosterolaemia is a lipid disorder in which plasma plant sterol levels are extremely elevated. Sitosterolaemia is clinically characterized by tuberous and tendon xanthomas, premature vascular disease and arthritis. OBJECTIVE: To report a case of sitosterolaemia diagnosed by cutaneous manifestations and to review this rare disease. METHODS: We report the case of a 60-year-old woman who presented with cutaneous xanthomas, arterial hypertension and polyarthralgias. The patient had had hypercholesterolaemia for many years without reduction of serum cholesterol, despite treatment with fenofibrate. RESULTS: Ezetimibe therapy was started, decreasing sitosterol plasmatic levels and tuberous xanthomas after 3 months of treatment. CONCLUSION: It is important to detect levels of sitosterol in plasma in patients with premature vascular disease, presence of xanthomas, and uncontrolled hypercholesterolaemia. Ezetimibe therapy is effective.

Asymmetric synthesis of 1-(2- and 3-haloalkyl)azetidin-2-ones as precursors for novel piperazine, morpholine, and 1,4-diazepane annulated beta-lactams.

A high-yielding, asymmetric synthesis of novel 4-formyl-1-(2- and 3-haloalkyl)azetidin-2-ones was developed as valuable starting materials for the synthesis of different enantiomerically enriched bicyclic azetidin-2-ones, such as piperazine, morpholine, and 1,4-diazepane annulated beta-lactam derivatives. Especially the hydride reduction of 4-imidoyl-1-(2- and 3-haloalkyl)azetidin-2-ones turned out to be an efficient and straightforward method for the preparation 2-substituted piperazines and 1,4-diazepanes.

Synthesis of 3-fluoroazetidines.

N-(Alkylidene or 1-arylmethylidene)-2-propenylamines were regiospecifically functionalized to novel N-(alkylidene or 1-arylmethylidene)-3-bromo-2-fluoropropylamines, which were proven to be excellent precursors for 3-fluoroazetidines.
