The nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of two enantiomers are identical. Thus, the first step in using NMR to distinguish between two enantiomers should be to produce different spectra that eventually can be associated with their different stereochemistry (i.e., the assignment of their absolute configuration). Therefore, it is necessary to introduce a chiral reagent in the NMR media. There are two ways to address this problem. One is to use a chiral solvent, or a chiral agent, that combines with each enantiomer of the substrate to produce diastereomeric complexes/associations that lead to different spectra. This is the so-called chiral solvating agent (CSA) approach; it will not be further discussed here [33–34]. The second approach is to use a chiral auxiliary reagent [13–15] (i.e., a chiral derivatizing agent; CDA) that bonds to the substrate by a covalent linkage. Thus, in the most general method, the two enantiomers of the auxiliary CDA react separately with the substrate, giving two diastereomeric derivatives whose spectral differences carry information that can be associated with their stereochemistry. The CDA method that employs arylalcoxyacetic acids as auxiliaries is the most frequently used. It can be applied to a number of monofunctionals [14–15] (secondary alcohols [35–43], primary alcohols [44–46], aldehyde [47] and ketone cyanohydrins [48–49], thiols [50–51], primary amines [52–56], and carboxylic acids [57–58]), difunctional [13] (sec/sec-1,2-diols [59–61], sec/sec-1,2-amino alcohols [62], prim/sec-1,2-diols [63–65], prim/sec-1,2-aminoalcohols, and sec/prim-1,2-aminoalcohols [66–68]), and trifunctional (prim/sec/sec-1,2,3-triols [13, 69–70]) chiral compounds. Its scope and limitations are well established, and its theoretical foundations are well known, making it a reliable tool for configurational assignment. Figure 1.1 shows a summary of the steps to be followed for the assignment of absolute configuration of a chiral compound with just one asymmetric carbon and with substituents that, for simplicity, are assumed to resonate as singlets. Step 1 (Figure 1.1a): A substrate of unknown configuration (?) is separately derivatized with the two enantiomers of a chiral auxiliary reagent, (R)-Aux and (S)-Aux, producing two diastereomeric derivatives.

Previous studies have established that reductions in repolarizing currents occur in heart disease and can contribute to life-threatening arrhythmias in myocardium. In this study, we investigated whether the thyroid hormone analog 3,5-diiodothyropropionic acid (DITPA) could restore repolarizing transient outward K+ current ( I to) density and gene expression in rat myocardium after myocardial infarction (MI). Our findings show that I to density was reduced after MI (14.0 ± 1.0 vs. 10.2 ± 0.9 pA/pF, sham vs. post-MI at +40 mV). mRNA levels of Kv4.2 and Kv4.3genes were decreased but Kv1.4 mRNA levels were increased post-MI. Corresponding changes in Kv4.2 and Kv1.4 protein were also observed. Chronic treatment of post-MI rats with 10 mg/kg DITPA restored I to density (to 15.2 ± 1.1 pA/pF at +40 mV) as well as Kv4.2 and Kv1.4 expression to levels observed in sham-operated controls. Other membrane currents (Na+, L-type Ca2+, sustained, and inward rectifier K+ currents) were unaffected by DITPA treatment. Associated with the changes in I toexpression, action potential durations (current-clamp recordings in isolated single right ventricular myocytes and monophasic action potential recordings from the right free wall in situ) were prolonged after MI and restored with DITPA treatment. Our results demonstrate that DITPA restores I to density in the setting of MI, which may be useful in preventing complications associated with I to downregulation.
