Abstract: The present invention relates to enantiomeric forms of hepoxilin analogs of Formula I-VIII, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, a method for the separation of said enantiomeric forms of hepoxilin analogs comprising applying said hepoxilin to a chiral phase HPLC column and eluting said hepoxilin with an alkane and alcohol solvent mixture. Said enantiomeric forms of hepoxilin analogs of Formula I-VIII were found to be useful in controlling the biological effects of PPAR mediated transcriptional control for the treatment of diseases such as cancer, thromboxane-mediated diseases and for modulating intracellular calcium concentration.

Abstract: An auxiliary shaft (16) mounted coaxially with a main shaft (5) has at the top an eccentric (17) operatively connected via grooving (20, 21) to a tool-fastening plate (13). At the bottom of the auxiliary shaft is a wheel (19) fixed to the eccentric and provided with a recess (18). The recess can engage a fixed lug cam so that a feed motor can cause both the rotary movement of the ball turner and a tool correction effected by a relative rotary movement between the main shaft and the auxiliary shaft. For the sake of accuracy, the angular displacement is limited to an area in which the displacement of the tool-fastening plate caused by the eccentric is substantially linear with the angular displacement. All rotary motions are measured during the operation by a shaft encoder (9) and communicated to a CNC system.
