Plant peptide hormone phytosulfokine (PSK-alpha): synthesis of new analogues and their biological evaluation.

Phytosulfokine-alpha (PSK-alpha), a sulfated growth factor (H-Tyr(SO3H)-Ile-Tyr(SO3H)-Thr-Gln-OH) universally found in both monocotyledons and dicotyledons, strongly promotes proliferation of plant cells in culture. In our studies on structure/activity relationship in PSK-alpha the synthesis of a series of analogues was performed: [H-D-Tyr(SO3H)1]- (9), [H-Phe(4-SO3H)1]- (10), [H-D-Phe(4-SO3H)1]- (11), [H-Phg(4-SO3H)1]- (12), [H-D-Phg(4-SO3H)1]- (13), H-Phe(4-NHSO2CH3)1]- (14), [H-D-Phe(4-NHSO2CH3)1]- (15), [H-Phe(4-NO2)1]- (16), [H-D-Phe(4-NO2)1]- (17), [H-Phg(4-NO2)1]- (18), [H-D-Phg(4-NO2)1]- (19), [H-Hph(4-NO2)1]- (20), [H-Phg(4-OSO3H)1]- (21), [Phe(4-NO2)3]- (22), [Phg(4-NO2)3]- (23), [Hph(4-NO2)3]- (24), [H-Phe(4-SO3H)1, Phe(4-SO3H)3]- (25) [H-Phe(4-NO2)1, Phe(4-NO2)3]- (26), [H-Phg(4-NO2)1, Phg(4-NO2)3]- (27), [H-Hph(4-NO2)1, Hph(4-NO2)3]- (28) and [Val3]- PSK-alpha (29). For modification of the PSK-alpha peptide chain the novel amino acids and their derivatives were synthesized, such as: H-L-Phg(4-SO3H)-OH (1), H-D-Phg(4-SO3H)-OH (2), Fmoc-Phg(4-SO3H)-OH (3), Fmoc-D-Phg(4-SO3H)-OH (4), Boc-Phg(4-NHSO2CH3)-OH (5), Boc-D-Phg(4-NHSO2CH3)-OH (6) Boc-Phe(4-NHSO2CH3)-OH (7), and Boc-D-Phe(4-NHSO2CH3)-OH (8). Peptides were synthesized by a solid phase method according to the Fmoc procedure on a Wang-resin. Free peptides were released from the resin by 95% TFA in the presence of EDT. All peptides were tested by competitive binding assay to the carrot membrane using 3H-labelled PSK according to the Matsubayashi et al. test.     

Metabolic pathways from 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 to 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-26,23-lactone. Stereo-retained and stereo-selective lactonization

The present study was carried out in order to elucidate the metabolic pathway from 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 to 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3-26,23-lactone. For that purpose, we stereospecifically synthesized the vitamin D3 derivatives 1 alpha,23(S),25-(OH)3D3, 1 alpha,23(S),25(R),26-tetrahydroxyvitamin D3, and 23(S),25(R)-1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-lactol. The in vitro metabolism of these compounds was examined in kidney homogenates and intestinal mucosa homogenates from 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3-supplemented chicks. The naturally occurring 23(S),25(R)-1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-26,23-lactone was produced (in increasing amounts) from 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3, 1 alpha,25(R),26-(OH)3D3, 1 alpha,23(S),25-(OH),D3, 1 alpha,23(S),25(R),26-(OH)4D3, and 23(S),25(R)-1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3-26,23-lactol. These results indicated that there are two possible metabolic pathways from 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3 to 1 alpha,23(S),25(R),26-(OH)4D3: the major one is by way of 1 alpha,23(S),25-(OH)3D3 and the minor one is by way of 1 alpha,25(R),26-(OH)3D3. 1 alpha,23(S),25(R),26-Tetrahydroxyvitamin D3 is further metabolized to 23(S),25(R)-1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-26,23-lactone via 23(S),25(R)-1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-26,23-lactol. In the course of our studies, a new biosynthetic vitamin D3 metabolite was isolated in pure form. This metabolite was identified as 23(S),25(R)-1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3-26,23-lactol by UV spectrophotometry and mass spectrometry. Furthermore, we establish in this report that the lactonization of 1 alpha,23,25,26-(OH)4D3 and 1 alpha,25-(OH)2D3-26,23-lactol occurs in a stereo-retained and stereo-selective fashion.     

Isolation and comparative analysis of multiple isoenzymes of glutathione-S-transferase from the liver of intact rats and rats administered phenobarbital, 3-methylcholanthrene and butylhydroxytoluene

Seven glutathione-S-transferase (GST) isozymes were purified from liver cytosol of intact male Wistar rats: 1-1(A), 1-1(B), 1-2, 2-2, 3-3, 3-4, 4-4. Treatment of rats with butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) led to the induction of isozymes GST 1-1(A), 1-1(B) (2-fold), 3-3 (3.5-fold) as well as to the appearance of two new isozymes--1-3 and 4-4(A). Phenobarbital (PB) induced isozymes GST 1-1(A), 1-1(B) (2-fold) and 3-3 (1.5-fold). BHT and PB caused an increase in the specific activity of isozymes 1-1(A), 1-1(B), 3-3, 3-4 towards 1-chloro-2.4-dinitrobenzene and 1.2-dichloro-4-nitrobenzene. 3-Methylcholanthrene (MC) induced isozymes 1-2 (1.5-fold), 2-2 (2-fold) and 4-4 (3-fold). A conclusion was drawn that BHT and PB induced the GST subunits 1 and 3, whereas MC--subunits 2 and 4.

The biotransformation of three bioactive bufadienolides, namely, bufotalin (1), telocinobufagin (2), and gamabufotalin (3) by cell suspension cultures of Saussurea involucrata yielded 11 products. Bufotalin yielded 3-epi-bufotalin (1a), 3-epi-desacetylbufotalin (1b), 3-epi-bufotalin 3-O-β-D-glucoside (1c), 1β-hydroxybufotalin (1d), and 5β-hydroxybufotalin (1e); telocinobufagin yielded 3-dehydroscillarenin (2a), 3-dehydrobufalin (2b), and 3-epi-telocinobufagin (2c); and gamabufotalin yielded 3-epi-gamabufotalin (3a), 3-dehydrogamabufotalin (3b), and 3-dehydro-Δ1-gamabufotalin (3c), respectively. Among these 11 products, 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 3a and 3c are previously unreported. The structures of these metabolites were elucidated based on NMR spectroscopic analyses and mass spectrometry. Most metabolites showed significant cytotoxic activities against human hepatoma (HepG2) and breast cancer (MCF-7) cell lines. In addition, the time course for the biotransformation of 3 was investigated.

Condensation of 14 with ethyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-1-thio-beta-D-galactopyranoside (2) followed by debenzylation gave 17. Acetylation of 17 followed by removal of AcO-1, conversion into the imidate, coupling with 1,2,4,5-tetra-O-benzyl-D-ribitol (11), deacetylation, and debenzylation gave 23. Coupling of the imidate with 1-O-allyloxycarbonyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-D-ribitol (12) followed by deallyloxycarbonylation, deacetylation, and debenzylation yielded 27.
