When the F1-ATPase from the thermophilic bacterium, PS3, was inactivated by greater than 90% with 7-chloro-4-nitro[14C]benzofurazan ([14C]Nbf-Cl) at pH 7.4, 1.4 mol of [14C]Nbf were incorporated per mol of enzyme. After pepsin digestion of the labeled enzyme at pH 3.0, a single, major peak of radioactivity was resolved by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography under acidic conditions were peptidyl Nbf-O-tyrosine is stable. This radioactive peak, designated RP-1, eluted with a retention time of 95 min. When the material in RP-1 was subjected to reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography under the same conditions after treatment with sodium dithionite, a single, major peak of radioactivity, designated RP-2, was resolved with a retention time of 52 min. Automatic Edman degradation of this material revealed that it has the amino acid sequence I-Y*-V-P-A-D-(D), where Y* presumably represents peptidyl [14C]Nbf-O-tyrosine. These results provide the basis for a facile method to purify peptides containing [14C]Nbf-O-tyrosine in which the labeled residues can be identified by amino acid sequence analysis using the Edman degradation. 相似文献

Summary This paper describes a novel solid phase peptide synthesis method for the systematic C-terminal modification of cysteine-containing peptides. In this method, cysteine is linked to chloromethylated polystyrene resin by its thiol functionality, followed by protection of the N-terminus and derivatization of the carboxylic acid to esters or amides. We report here on examples of the methodology and its application to the synthesis of Ac-Asp-cyclo(Cys-Gly-Pro-Cys)-NHBzl, a cyclic peptide amide. The method has been applied to the synthesis of complex esters as well as amides.Abbreviations Ac

Reduction of the alpha, beta-unsaturated ester moiety of (+)-methyl hardwickiate with magnesium in methanol afforded methyl (4aS,6S,8aS,1R,5R)-5, 6,8a-trimethyl-5-[2'-(3"-oxoyl)-ethyl-perhydro-1-naphthalenyl]- carboxaylate, while reduction with sodium in n-propanol, followed by esterification with diazomethane, furnished its C-4 epimer. After comparison of the 1H- and 13C-NMR data of these compounds with those reported for crolechinic acid isolated from Croton lechleri, a stereochemical revision for the natural product is suggested. 相似文献

The effect of combination of the hydrophilic aza-Gly substitution (NHNHCO) at position 10 with hydrophobic, unnatural D-amino acids in position 6 on the potency of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) analogues has been investigated. Previously the aza-Gly residue was shown to provide protection from enzymatic cleavage and lead to potency increases in a less hydrophobic series. The compounds were prepared by coupling of the corresponding nonapeptide acids with semicarbazide hydrochloride by the N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide/1-hydroxybenzotriazole procedure. The required nonapeptide acids were prepared by the solid phase method on chloromethyl-polystyrene resin using HF/anisole deprotection. The products were purified by preparative reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The analogues were tested in a rat estrous cyclicity suppression assay designed to show the paradoxical antifertility effects of these compounds. The potencies of [6-(3-benzimidazol-2-yl)-D-alanine), 10-aza-glycine] LH-RH and [6-(3-(5,6-dimethylbenzimidazol-2-yl)-D-alanine), 10-aza-glycine] LH-RH are 40 and 190 times that of LH-RH respectively. The most active compound in this series is [6-(3-(2-naphthyl)-D-alanine), 10-aza-glycine] LH-RH with a potency 230 times that of LH-RH. This compound is 2.3 times as potent as the standard ([D-Trp6, Pro9-NHEt] LH-RH) and appears to be the most potent LH-RH agonist reported. 相似文献

Summary In the course of comparing the effectiveness of HATU, HBTU, and phenol-based coupling reagents, such as the pentafluorophenyl,
2-nitrophenyl, and 2,4,5-trichlorophenyl uronium salts by (a) formation of Fmoc-Ala-Val-OtBu, (b) (2+1) segment coupling and (c) stepwise solid phase peptide assembly of typical model peptides such as the pentapeptide
H-Tyr-Aib-Aib-Phe-Leu-NH2 and ACP decapeptide (65–74), we found a striking improvement of the less effective phenol-based coupling reagents (HPyOPfp,
HPyONp, and HPyOTcp), both with regard to reaction rate and extent of epimerization, when HOAt was added and a clear superiority
of HAPyU (in the presence and absence of HOAt) relative to the compounds derived from HOBt, HOPfp, HONp, and HOTcp.

In order to explore the route for the preparation of cyclodepsipeptide by cyclization through an ester bond formation, two analogs of AM-toxin II, cyclotetradepsipeptide, were synthesized. As a preliminary experiment, synthesis of [L-Phe3, L-Ser(Bzl)4]-AM-toxin II, containing L-Phe and L-Ser(Bzl) in place of L-App (2-amino-5-phenyl-pentanoic acid) and delta Ala (alpha, beta-dehydroalanine), respectively, was attempted. Cyclization of H-L-Hmb-L-Phe-L-Ser(Bzl)-L-Ala-OH in CH2Cl2 at 10 mM concentration using water-soluble carbodiimide (EDC) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) successfully gave a cyclic monomer in 16% yield. Cyclization of H-L-Hmb-L-App-L-Ser(Bzl)-L-Ala-OH under the same conditions also afforded a cyclic monomer, [L-Ser(Bzl)4]AM-toxin II, in 19% yield. Analytical parameters of these cyclic monomers obtained were identical to those of the authentic samples obtained by cyclization through a peptide bond formation. 相似文献

A rapid, sensitive and selective high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) assay was developed for the determination of the antiallergenic compound N-[4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)butyl]-2-(1-methylethyl)-11-oxo-11H-pyrido[2,1-b] quinazoline-8-carboxamide (I), and its major metabolite, 2-(1-methylethyl)-11-oxo-11H-pyrido[2,1-b] quinazoline-8-carboxylic acid (I-A), in plasma. The assay involves precipitation of the plasma proteins with aceto-nitrile—methanol (9:1), followed by the analysis of an aliquot of the protein-free filtrate by reversed-phase ion-pair HPLC with fluorescence detection for quantitation. The analogous compound, N-[6-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)hexyl]-2-(1-methylethyl)-11-oxo-11H-pyrido[2,1-b]-quinazoline-8-carbonxamide (II), is used as the internal standard. The overall recovery of compounds I and I-A from plasma is 107.0 ± 8.6% and 107.0 ± 10.0%, respectively. The sensitivity limits of quantitation are 20 ng of I, and 10 ng of I-A per ml of plasma using a 0.5-ml aliquot. The assay was used to monitor the plasma concentrations of I and of I-A in a dog following a 5 mg/kg intravenous infusion of I · 2HCl, a 10mg/kg oral dose of I · 2HCl and of metabolite I-A. 相似文献

Porcine relaxins shortened at the N terminus of the A chain were produced after protection of all amino groups with the base-labile [[(methylsulfonyl)ethyl]oxy]carbonyl (Msc) protecting group. The first two amino acids were removed by cyanogen bromide digestion whereby simultaneously a free alpha-amino group was generated in position A3. The resulting des-ArgA1,MetA2-N epsilon A7,N epsilon A16,N epsilon B8-tris [[[(methylsulfonyl)ethyl]oxy]carbonyl]relaxin. was further shortened by preparative Edman degradation. The shortest derivative obtained was des-ArgA1,MetA2,ThrA3,LeuA4,SerA5,GluA6 -N epsilon A7,N epsilon A16,N epsilon B8-tris[[[(methylsulfonyl)ethyl]oxy]carbonyl]relaxin. The deprotection of the derivatives in alkaline media resulted in crude des-A(1-2)- to des-A(1-6)-relaxins, which were subsequently purified by gel filtration on Sephadex G-50 superfine followed by either ion exchange chromatography on CM-cellulose at pH 5.1 or high-performance liquid chromatography on reversed-phase columns. During the CNBr digest, a side product was isolated that was identified as the corresponding homoserine ( [HseA2]relaxin) derivative. Shortened relaxin derivatives and [HseA2]relaxin were characterized by reversed-phase chromatography, electrophoresis, end-group determination, and amino acid composition. Circular dichroism studies revealed a distinct change in the structure of relaxins that were shortened by three and more amino acid residues. In the mouse interpubic ligament assay, des-A(1-2)-relaxin and [HseA2]relaxin were fully biologically active while the bioactivity of des-A(1-3)-relaxin dropped to about 50%. Relaxins shortened by four and more amino acid residues were biologically inactive.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activities were found in aqueous methanol extracts of the seeds of Momordica charantia and the fruit bodies of Grifola frondosa. An active principle against the enzyme prepared from rat small intestine acetone powders was isolated and characterized. The structure of the isolated compound was identified as D-(+)-trehalose by FDMS, 1H-, 13C-NMR, and [alpha]D measurements. The inhibitory activity of trehalose was compared with 1-deoxynojirimycin. Trehalose showed 45% inhibitory activity at the concentration of 2 x 10(-3) m, but 1-deoxynojirimycin had 52% inhibitory activity at 1 x 10(-7) M. 相似文献

Summary In order to minimise the formation of the pyrophosphate derivative of the target peptide when side-chain-unprotected phopshotyrosine is used in solid-phase peptide synthesis, this building block can be incorporated using benzotriazolyloxy-tris-(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate/1-hydroxybenzotriazole/N-methylmorpholine (1:1:2.3) in the presence of a chaotropic salt (0.4 M LiCl in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone).Abbreviations BOP

Arachidonic acid (AA; 20:4n-6) is one of the principal components of the phosphoglycerides in neural cell membranes. During the critical period of postnatal development in mammals, AA is supplied preformed, directly from the milk or derived from precursor fatty acids such as gamma-linolenic acid (GLA; 18:3n-6). In this study, 13C-NMR spectroscopy was applied to investigate the incorporation of [1-(13)C]AA and [3-(13)C]GLA into liver and brain lipids of 7-15-day-old rats. The main objective was to establish the importance of dietary GLA for tissue AA accretion relative to the contribution from preformed dietary AA. [1-(13)C]AA and [3-(13)C]GLA were injected into the stomach of 7-day-old rats as a mixture. 13C-NMR spectroscopy of lipid extracts revealed incorporation of [1-(13)C]AA and [5-(13)C]AA (the latter derived from metabolism of the injected [3-(13)C]GLA) into phosphoglycerides and triacylglycerols. Preformed AA was 10 (liver)-17 (brain) times more efficient in contributing to tissue AA than AA derived from precursor GLA. In separate experiments, NMR spectroscopy was used to assess uptake of [1-(13)C]AA directly in living rats and intact organs. Results showed that intact liver and brain contain an appreciable amount of NMR-detectable lipids. The in vivo/in vitro information obtained from organs provided details on the mobility and turnover of tissue lipids. 相似文献

Summary The synthesis of the lanthionine analog of somatostatin[1–14] on a Kaiser-oxime resin is described. The 12-residue peptide segment [3–14] was assembled and cyclized on the resin by using the method of peptide cyclization on an oxime resin (PCOR); the product was obtained with good yield (41%) and purity (94%). The Fmoc protecting group on the N-terminus was cleaved with DBU, followed by a 2+12 segment condensation in solution. The chromatographic (HPLC, CZE) and spectral (UV, NMR) properties of the lanthionine and the natural somatostatins have been studied and compared. Preliminary biological tests show that the lanthionine and the natural somatostatins exhibit similar binding affinities to somatostatin receptor SSTR2.Abbreviations AlaL

The N-terminal sequence H-Met-Ser-Tyr-Asn-Leu-Leu-Gly-Phe-Leu-Gln-Arg-Ser-Ser-OH (FIF[1-13]) of human fibroblast interferon HuIFN-beta(Fi) has been synthesized using the solid-phase method. After esterification of N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-O-benzyl-L-serine cesium salt with chloromethylated polystyrene-1% divinylbenzene (loading 0.25 mmol/g) the tridecapeptide was built up stepwise. Coupling reagents and N-tert-butyloxycarbonylamino acids were used in a six-fold excess. For the second coupling 1-hydroxybenzotriazole was added during carbodiimide and 4-nitrophenyl glutaminate or asparaginate couplings. Side chain functions were masked: O-benzylserine, O-(2,6-dichlorobenzyl)tyrosine and Ng-tosylarginine. After an acetylation step the N-protection was removed by trifluoroacetic acid/dichloromethane 1:1, and for neutralisation triethylamine/-chloroform 1:9 were used, both steps with a prewash. The Ng-tosyltridecapeptide was split-off from the resin by HBr in trifluoroacetic acid and purified by repetitive precipitations. After deprotection of the guanidino group of arginine with sodium in liquid ammonia, the peptide was precipitated from acetic acid/water, chromatographed on Sephadex G-25 coarse in acetic acid/water 1:1 and precipitated from acetic acid/ether and dimethylformamide/acetone. After purification by multiplicative counter-current distribution in butanol/-5% acetic acid/propanol 5:5:1 the tridecapeptide was pure according to chromatographic, electrophoretic, enzymatic and instrumental analyses. The peptide was investigated by circular dichroism in trifluoroethanol and hexafluoroacetonesesquihydrate and 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance, which revealed an alpha-helical conformation. In order to obtain a suitable antigen the tridecapeptide was coupled to poly(L-lysine) (molecular mass 37300) via N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide followed by dialysis. The resulting poly(L-lysine)-FIF[1-13] conjugate showed a loading of 17.8 mol FIF[1-13] per mol poly(L-lysine). 相似文献

1. A dye-linked methanol dehydrogenase, resembling many others from a variety of methylotrophic bacteria, was purified to homogeneity from extracts of methanol-grown Methylophilus methylotrophus. 2. The enzyme was very stable in the presence of methanol; in the absence of methanol it had a half-life of 1-2 days at 4 degrees C. 3. The value of A1% 1cm,280 was 17.5. 4. The enzyme retained bound methanol after passage through Sephadex G-25. This tightly-bound methanol slowly exchanged with free [14C]-methanol from a value of 0.27 mol of [14C]methanol/mol of enzyme after 48 h incubation at 4 degrees C to a limiting value of approx. 2.5 mol of [14C]methanol/mol of enzyme after 3 weeks incubation at 4 degrees C. 5. One mol of this enzyme reduced 89.4 mol of 2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol (via phenazine methosulphate) in the absence of any additional methanol in the assay mixture. The source of the electrons involved in this reduction is not known. 相似文献

We examined the ability of erucic acid (22:1n-9) to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) by infusing [14-14C]22:1n-9 (170 microCi/kg, iv and icv) into awake, male rats. [1-14C]arachidonic acid (20:4n-6) [intravenous (i.v.)] was the positive control. After i.v. infusion, 0.011% of the plasma [14-14C]22:1n-9 was extracted by the brain, compared with 0.055% of the plasma [1-14C]20:4n-6. The [14-14C]22:1n-9 was extensively beta-oxidized (60%), compared with 30% for [1-14C]20:4n-6. Although 20:4n-6 was targeted primarily to phospholipid pools, 22:1n-9 was targeted to cholesteryl esters, triglycerides, and phospholipids. When [14-14C]22:1n-9 was infused directly into the fourth ventricle of the brain [intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.)] for 7 days, 60% of the tracer entered the phospholipid pools, similar to the distribution observed for [1-14C]20:4n-6. This demonstrates plasticity in the ability of the brain to esterify 22:1n-9 in an exposure-dependent manner. In i.v. and i.c.v. infused rats, a significant amount of tracer found in the phospholipid pools underwent sequential rounds of chain shortening and was found as [12-14C]20:1n-9 and [10-14C]oleic acid. These results demonstrate for the first time that intact 22:1n-9 crosses the BBB, is incorporated into specific lipid pools, and is chain-shortened. 相似文献

Fmoc-amino acid chlorides were employed in the solid phase synthesis of the opioid peptides [Leu]enkephalin, [Leu]enkephalin amide, and dermorphin. The conventional polystyrene-based Merrifield resin or Wang's resin served as solid support. A binary salt of either triethylamine or diisopropylethylamine in the presence of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole or pivalic acid was used for acylation. The coupling rates were quite fast, being comparatively faster when 1-hydroxybenzotriazole was used along with triethylamine or diisopropylethylamine. The peptides obtained in good yields showed, after purification, biological and spectral properties identical with those of the natural peptides. 相似文献
