A practical entry to β-aryl-β-alkyl amino alcohols: application to the synthesis of a potent BACE1 inhibitor
2012
The 1,2-addition of alkyl Grignard reagents to readily available N-tert-butanesulfinyl ketimines, bearing an α-silyloxy substituent, proceeds in high yields and excellent diastereocontrol. The utility of the present method was demonstrated by the synthesis, in enantiomerically pure form, of one recently disclosed β-secretase (BACE1) inhibitor.
Inactivation and Regeneration Kinetics of Horseradish Peroxidase Heated at High Temperatures.
1997
The inactivation kinetics of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) heated in capillary tubes in the range 110 to 135°C was studied. Its regeneration kinetics when stored at 4 and 25°C was also considered. As the severity of the treatment increased, the absolute value of the regeneration decreased. The storage temperature of the enzyme did not affect the percentage of maximum activity regenerable, although when this temperature was raised from 4 to 25°C the speed of regeneration increased. Kinetics of HRP inactivation determined after heating and after regeneration were compared. Both forms of the enzyme showed similar behavior with first-order inactivation kinetics, with Ea = 19.5 ± 1.0 kcal/mol and…
Thermal inactivation at high temperatures and regeneration of green asparagus peroxidase
2019
A spectrophotometric method was developed for determining the peroxidase activity of green asparagus in small samples. The optimum conditions for the analysis in the cuvette were 45 mM of H2O2 36 mM of guaiacol, and pH 7. The method can be used to determine enzyme activity at up to two decimal reductions. A study was performed of the regeneration and inactivation kinetics of the enzyme when heated between 90 and 125°C. Regenerated asparagus peroxidase reached its maximum activity after being stored 6 days at 25°C. The regenerated enzyme followed first-order inactivation kinetics, showing an Ea = 13.62 kcal/mol and k100°C = 2.07 min-1.
Evaluation of advanced silica packings for the separation of biopolymers by high-performance liquid chromatography
1987
Abstract The reversed-phase chromatography of proteins by gradient elution with acidic, low-ionic-strength aqueous—organic eluents is often associated with losses of the biological activity of the protein. In this study, the enzymatic activities of catalase, horseradish peroxidase and pepsin were examined under static and dynamic column conditions on non-porous, monodisperse 1.5-μm reversed-phase silicas with various n -alkyl ligands. Catalase readily lost its enzymatic activity under the influence of the acidic aqueous—organic eluents in the absence of the reversed-phase packing, whereas peroxidase was partially deactivated as a result of combined mobile phase and stationary phase effects …
Purification and characterization of leucine aminopeptidase from kidney bean cotyledons
1992
A leucine aminopeptidase (EC 3,4,11.1) was purified from cotyledons of resting kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Processor) by acidic extraction, ammonium sulfate fractionation and chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel, Sephacryl S-300, Mono Q HPLC and Superose HPLC columns. The yield of the 317-fold purified enzyme was 9%. On gel filtrations on Sephacryl S-300 and Superose HPLC the elution volumes of the enzyme corresponded to an M, of 360 000. The enzyme gave one band on native gel electrophoresis and an electrophoretic titration in an immobilized pH gradient gave a single curve with a pI of 4.8. Two bands were observed in an SDS-gel electrophoresis with Mr values of 58 000 and 60 000 bot…
Inhibitors of endogenous proteinases in the seeds of Scots pine, Pinus sylvestris
1980
Extracts of resting pine seeds inhibited the proteinase activities present in extracts of endosperms of germinating seeds (hydrolysis of haemoglobin at pH 3.7 and hydrolysis of casein at pH 5.4 and 7.0). Heating the extracts of resting seeds at 60°C destroyed their own proteinase activity but their proteinase inhibitor activity decreased by only 25 to 30%. Some properties of the inhibitor(s) were studied using extracts treated at 60°C. The inhibitor activities were non-dialysable. the inhibition increased linearly with increasing inhibitor concentration up to 80% of total proteinase activity, and the maximal inhibition was 80% at pH 3.7. 90% at pH 5.4. and 97% at pH 7.0. The extracts of res…
Inhibition of cyclodextrins on α-galactosidase.
2017
This work successfully investigated the effects of different influential factors and hydrophobic cavities of cyclodextrins (CDs) on α-galactosidase (α-Gal) by detecting α-Gal activity. The highest inhibitory concentration of three kinds of CDs (α-, β-, and γ-CD) on α-Gal was 10mM. Moreover, the highest inhibition of α-Gal was obtained under the following conditions: reaction time of 90min, temperature of 30°C, and pH 6.0. Compared with other CDs, β-CD showed more ability to interact with α-Gal due to its appropriate cavity geometric dimensions. From circular dichroism and nuclear magnetic resonance it was observed that β-CD changed the secondary structure of α-Gal and formed a hydrogen bond…
Comperative studies with Culex pipiens egg rafts. Immunogenetic, electrophoretic and enzymatic analysis of unfertilized, compatible and incompatible …
1973
By applying immunologic, electrophoretic and enzymatic methods, extracts of different raft types of Culex pipiens were analysed. Rafts of the crosses Pa x Pa and Ha x Ha contained four common antigens, while unfertilized rafts of Pa and Ha (no antisera were prepared against them) and rafts of the crosses Og x Og, Og x Pa, and Pa x Og shared three common antigens with the remaining raft extracts. Disk-electrophoresis of raft extracts in acrylamide gel resulted in different electropherograms. Ten protein bands were common to all these raft types. The unfertilized rafts of Pa and Ha yielded three more protein bands, the crosses Pa x Ha and Ha x Pa one more, the crosses Og x Og and Pa x Og thre…
Activities of some peptidases and proteinases in germinating kidney bean, Phaseolus vulgaris
1986
The activities of aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11), dipeptidase (EC 3.4.13), carboxypeptidase (EC 3.4.16), naphthylamidase (EC 3.4.11) and proteinases (EC 3.4.21) were assayed in extracts from the cotyledons and the axial tissues of resting and germinating kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Processor). The activities of the alkaline peptidases (aminopeptidase hydrolyzing Leu-Tyr at pH 9.2 and dipeptidase acting on Ala-Gly at pH 8.5) and naphthylamidases (hydrolyzing Leu-β-naphthylamide at pH 6.4) were high in the cotyledons of resting seeds, but decreased during germination. This decrease was faster than the loss of the total nitrogen. On the contrary, the activities of carboxypeptidase (hyd…
A three-component Mannich-type condensation leading to phosphinic dipeptides—extended transition state analogue inhibitors of aminopeptidases
2011
Abstract N-Protected α-aminoalkylphosphinic acids bearing a P–H function were found to be novel practical building blocks in three-component condensations with formaldehyde and secondary amines (amino acids). Such Mannich-type N -phosphonomethylation is a common approach for phosphorus acid derived substrates and leads to multifunctional (phosphonic/amino/carboxylic) compounds of diverse relevance. The utility of this reaction was examined for construction, in a single synthetic step, of advanced phosphinic pseudodipeptides designed to act as extended transition state analogue inhibitors of selected aminopeptidases. Phosphinomethylation of primary amino acids was less efficient and yielded …
