The structure at 198 K of (1R,5R,15R,16R)-5-isopropenyl-2-methyl- 1-[N-(trans-2-phenylcyclohexyloxycarbonyl)amino]-2-cyclohexene.

trans-2-Phenylcyclohexyl N-(5-isopropenyl-2-methyl-2-cyclohexan-1-yl) carbamate, C23H31NO2, Mr = 353.50, orthorhombic, P2(1)2(1)2(1), a = 8.813 (2), b = 9.043 (2), c = 25.643 (5) A, V = 2043.6 (8) A3, Z = 4, Dx = 1.15 g cm-3 (198 K), Mo K alpha radiation, lambda = 0.7107 A, mu = 0.6734 cm-1, F(000) = 768, T = 198 K, R = 0.0547 for 1772 reflections [Fo greater than or equal to 4 sigma(Fo)]. Molecules are H-bonded into infinite columns parallel to a. The H bond involves the NH group and the carbonyl O atom of the carbamate moiety with relevant parameters: N11-H11...O13 (related by 1/2 + x, 1/2 - y, - z); N...O 2.910 (5), H...O 2.11 (5) A, N-H...O 159 (4) degrees.

Accelerated ovarian failure induced by 4-vinyl cyclohexene diepoxide in Nrf2 null mice.

Genetic and biochemical analyses have uncovered an essential role for nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in regulating phase II xenobiotic metabolism and antioxidant response. Here we show that Nrf2 protects against the ovarian toxicity of 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide (VCD) in mice. Nrf2-/- female mice exposed to VCD exhibit an age-dependent decline in reproduction leading to secondary infertility accompanied by hypergonadotropic hypogonadism after 30 weeks of age. VCD is shown to selectively destroy small ovarian follicles, resulting in early depletion of functional follicles. Treatment with VCD induces apoptotic death in cultured cells and in ovarian follicles, suggesting apoptosis as a mechanism of follicle loss. Loss of Nrf2 function blocks the basal and inducible expression of microsomal epoxide hydrolase, a key enzyme in the detoxification of VCD, and increases the oxidative stress in cells that is further exacerbated by VCD. Foxo3a, a repressor in the early stages of follicle activation, displays reduced expression in Nrf2-/- ovaries, causing accelerated growth of follicles in the absence of exposure to exogenous chemicals. Furthermore, Foxo3a is degraded through the 26S proteasome pathway in untreated cells and is induced by VCD via both Nrf2-dependent transcription and protein stabilization. This study demonstrates that Nrf2 serves as an essential sensor and regulator of chemical homeostasis in ovarian cells, protecting the cells from toxic chemicals by controlling metabolic detoxification, reactive oxygen species defense, and Foxo3a expression. In addition, these findings raise the possibility that exposure to environmental or occupational ovotoxicants plays a role in the premature ovarian failure commonly associated with infertility and premature aging in women.

Effect of a terpenoid, (-)-6-hydroxy-4-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-1-cyclohexene-1-ethanol, on drug-metabolizing enzymes and glutathione content in rat liver and lung.

1. Chronic treatment of Sprague-Dawley rats with the new terpenoid mucoregulating drug (I) did not modify activities of the drug-metabolizing enzymes (phase I and phase II) of liver and lung. 2. Acute treatment of rats with I did not affect the GSH content of liver and lung, but administration of the corresponding alpha, beta-unsaturated ketone (II) produced considerable GSH depletion in both tissues, the original GSH levels being restored after a few hours. 3. The results are discussed in comparison with those previously obtained with the structurally related drug trans-sobrerol (III).
