Ferrocenyl glycopeptides as electrochemical probes to detect autoantibodies in multiple sclerosis patients' será
Abstract Glycopeptide analogues of CSF114(Glc), modified at N-terminus with new ferrocenyl carboxylic acid and a new ferrocenyl-thiphosphino amino acid, were used to implement a new electrochemical biosensor for autoantibody detection in multiple sclerosis. The ferrocenyl moiety of these "electrochemical probes" did not affect autoantibody recognition both in SP-ELISA and in inhibition experiments. By electrochemical monitoring the interactions of the modified peptides Fc-CSF114(Glc) and 4-FcPhP(S)Abu-CSF114(Glc) with the autoantibodies, we demonstrated that autoantibodies could be detected with a sensitivity comparable to ELISA method. The new electrochemical probes can be proposed to char…
Oleanane-type glycosides from the roots of Weigela florida “rumba” and evaluation of their antibody recognition
Three triterpene glycosides were isolated from the roots of Weigela florida "rumba" (Bunge) A. DC.: two previously undescribed 3-O-β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1→2)-[β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)]-β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1→3)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-α-l-arabinopyranosyloleanolic acid (1) and 3-O-β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1→2)-[β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)]-β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1→3)-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-α-L-arabinopyranosyloleanolic acid (2), and one isolated for the first time from a natural source 3-O-β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1→3)-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-α-l-arabinopyranosyloleanolic acid (3). Their structures were elucidated mainly by 2D NMR spectroscopic analysis (COSY, …
