Conformational investigation of α,β‐dehydropeptides Part VI. Molecular and crystal structure of benzyloxycarbonylglycyl‐(Z )‐dehydrophenylalanine
1994
The structure of a peptide containing C-terminal dehydrophenylalanine, Z-Gly-(Z)-delta Phe (C19H18N2O5, MW = 354) was determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Needle-shaped crystals were grown from a 1:1 mixture of methanol-acetone in the monoclinic space group P2(1) with a = 14.717(4), b = 4.941(2), c = 12.073(4) A, beta = 103.72(4) degrees; V = 852.86(8) A3, Z = 2 and Dc = 1.32 g cm-3. The structure was solved by direct methods using SHELXS-86 and refined to a final R-index of 0.032 for 1714 observed reflections. The peptide adopts a conformation folded at the glycine residue, and principal torsion angles are omega 0 = -167.6(2) degrees, phi 1 = -71.8(3) degrees, psi 1 = -31…
Spectroscopic characterization and biological activity ofL-methionyl-L histidinato complexes of R2Sn(IV) ions (R?=?Me, nBu, Ph) and X-ray structure o…
2000
Complexes of L-methionyl-L-histidine (H2MetHis) with R2Sn(IV) ions (R = Me, nBu, Ph) have been synthesized. The crystal and molecular structures of Me2SnMetHis·0.5MeOH have been determined by X-ray diffraction. The title compound contains two crystallographically independent molecular units possessing the same trigonal-bipyramidal geometry at tin, each dimethyltin(IV) moiety being coordinated by the terminal amino nitrogen, deprotonated peptide nitrogen and terminal carboxylate group, neither the imidazole nor thioether groups being involved in bonding. IR spectroscopy was used to probe the structure of the complexes in the solid state, and the structure in solution (CD3OD) was assessed by …
Probing the self-assembly and anti-glioblastoma efficacy of a cinnamoyl-capped dipeptide hydrogelator
2022
Herein, we introduce the first diphenylalanine dipeptide hydrogelator capped with the cinnamoyl functional group (Cin-L-F-L-F). We evaluate the effects of the cinnamoyl moiety on molecular self-assembly events and resultant physical properties of the hydrogel formed. In addition, we report our preliminary results of this dipeptide's cytotoxicity against glioblastoma (GBM) cancer cells. peerReviewed
Crystal structure ofN-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)glycyl-(Z)-β-bromodehydroalanine methyl ester [Boc–Gly–(β-Br)(Z)ΔAla–OMe]
2014
In a dehydroamino acid with a C=C bond between the α- and β-C atoms, the amino acid residues are linked trans to each other and there are no strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The torsion angles indicate a non-helical conformation of the molecule.
Guinea pig Kupffer cells can be activated in vitro to an enhanced superoxide response
1988
Summary In the preceding paper it was shown that Kupffer cells isolated by digestion of the liver and purified by centrifugal elutriation can be activated in vitro by lipopolysaccharide and muramyl dipeptide to an enhanced superoxide response upon zymosan phagocytosis. Lipopolysaccharide and muramyl dipeptide also led to a strongly increased prostaglandin E 2 release during the phagocytosis of zymosan. This activation was accompanied by an increased production of prostaglandin E 2 during the incubation with the stimuli. Prostaglandin E 2 synthesis was inhibited by the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin, reduced by dexamethasone, but only slightly decreased by the lipoxygenase inhibitor n…
[60]Fullerene l -Amino Acids and Peptides: Synthesis under Phase-Transfer Catalysis Using a Phosphine–Borane Linker. Electrochemical Behavior
2017
International audience; A new method to link amino acid and peptide derivatives to [60]fullerene is described. It uses hydrophosphination with a secondary phosphine borane. First, the stereoselective synthesis of secondary phosphine borane amino acid derivatives was achieved by alkylation of phenylphosphine borane with gamma-iodo-alpha-amino ester reagents under phase transfer catalysis (PTC). Second, a sec-phosphine borane amino ester was saponified and coupled with alpha,gamma-diamino esters to afford the corresponding dipeptide derivatives in good yields. Finally, the hydrophosphination reaction of [60]fullerene by the sec-phosphine borane compounds was performed under PTC to obtain C-60…
Extraction of peptides from body fluids using supported liquid membranes
2008
Sample pre-treatment is a very important step in many analytical procedures, especially when the analyte is presented in low concentration in complex sample matrices. In this paper, potential using of the supported liquid membrane (SLM) technique as a sample preparation step in order to isolate, pre-concentrate and separate small peptides and phosphono dipeptides from aqueous solutions and body fluids is discussed. An influence of various parameters including carrier type, donor and acceptor phase compositions, presence of salts and proteins in analysed samples on extraction efficiency and selectivity is presented. Additionally, comparison of SLM extraction efficiency from aqueous samples a…

Dipeptidyl Enoates As Potent Rhodesain Inhibitors That Display a Dual Mode of Action
2015
Dipeptidyl enoates were prepared through a high-yielding two-step synthetic route. They have a dipeptidic structure with a 4-oxoenoate moiety as a warhead with multiple reactive sites. Dipeptidyl enoates were screened against rhodesain and human cathepsins B and L, and were found to be potent and selective inhibitors of rhodesain. Among them (S,E)-ethyl 5-((S)-2-{[(benzyloxy)carbonyl]amino}-3-phenylpropanamido)-7-methyl-4-oxooct-2-enoate (6) was the most potent, with an IC50 value of 16.4 nm and kinact/Ki=1.6×106 m−1 s−1 against rhodesain. These dipeptidyl enoates display a reversible mode of inhibition at very low concentrations and an irreversible mode at higher concentrations. Inhibition…
