The hydrolysis of asparagine and glutamine by L-asparaginase has been used to treat acute
lymphoblastic leukemia for over four decades. Each L-asparaginase monomer has a long …

All clinically-used asparaginases convert L-asparagine (L-Asn) to l-aspartate (L-Asp) and l-glutamine
(L-Gln) to L-glutamate (L-Glu), which has been useful in reducing bioavailable …

The new complexes Zn(ITZ) 2 Cl 2 (1) and Zn(ITZ) 2 (OH) 2 (2) were synthetized by a reaction
of itraconazole with their respective zinc salts under reflux. These Zn-ITZ complexes were …
