Biomimetic Alginate/Gelatin Cross-Linked Hydrogels Supplemented with Polyphosphate for Wound Healing Applications

2020

In the present study, the fabrication of a biomimetic wound dressing that mimics the extracellular matrix, consisting of a hydrogel matrix composed of non-oxidized and periodate-oxidized marine alginate, was prepared to which gelatin was bound via Schiff base formation. Into this alginate/oxidized-alginate-gelatin hydrogel, polyP was stably but reversibly integrated by ionic cross-linking with Zn2+ ions. Thereby, a soft hybrid material is obtained, consisting of a more rigid alginate scaffold and porous structures formed by the oxidized-alginate-gelatin hydrogel with ionically cross-linked polyP. Two forms of the Zn-polyP-containing matrices were obtained based on the property of polyP to f…

Indirect oxidation of amino acid phenylhydrazides by mushroom tyrosinase.

2006

We have investigated oxidation of amino acid phenylhydrazides by mushroom tyrosinase in the presence of 4-tert-butylcatechol and N-acetyl-l-tyrosine. Spectrophotometric measurements showed gradual disappearance of 4-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinone, generated by oxidation of 4-tert-butylcatechol with sodium periodate, after addition of amino acid phenylhydrazides. However, the presence of the phenylhydrazides did not influence the concentration of 4-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinone formed during enzymatic oxidation. Oxygen consumption measurements demonstrated that in a mixture both compounds were oxidized but the reaction rate was proportional to the concentration of the catechol. In the oxidation of N-…

The “green” electrochemical synthesis of periodate

2020

Abstract High‐grade periodate is relatively expensive, but is required for many sensitive applications such as the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients. These high costs originate from using lead dioxide anodes in contemporary electrochemical methods and from expensive starting materials. A direct and cost‐efficient electrochemical synthesis of periodate from iodide, which is less costly and relies on a readily available starting material, is reported. The oxidation is conducted at boron‐doped diamond anodes, which are durable, metal‐free, and nontoxic. The avoidance of lead dioxide ultimately lowers the cost of purification and quality assurance. The electrolytic process was opti…

Stabilization of anti-leukemic enzyme l-asparaginase by immobilization on polysaccharide levan

2001

Abstract Biologically active fructose polymer levan from Zymomonas mobilis of different molecular mass (75 and 2000 kDa) was covalently coupled to anti-leukemic enzyme Erwinia carotovora l -asparaginase. The method used for the immobilization of the enzyme involved periodate oxidation of the polysaccharide, followed by reductive alkylation. A gentle periodate oxidation of levan (oxidation degree ≤24%) resulted in the highest residual enzyme activity (≥55%). The K m(app.) of glycoconjugates was higher than the K m of native l -asparaginase. The conjugation of l -asparaginase widened the optimum pH range of the enzyme. The electrophoretic mobility in polyacrylamide gel of glycoconjugates obta…

Anodic Dehydrogenative Cyanamidation of Thioethers: Simple and Sustainable Synthesis of N‐Cyanosulfilimines

2021

Abstract A novel and very simple to perform electrochemical approach for the synthesis of several N‐cyanosulfilimines in good to excellent yields was established. This method provides access to biologically relevant sulfoximines by consecutive oxidation using electro‐generated periodate. This route can be easily scaled‐up to gram quantities. The S,N coupling is carried out at an inexpensive carbon anode by direct oxidation of sulfide. Therefore, the designed process is atom economic and represents a new “green route” for the synthesis of sulfilimines and sulfoximines.
