The Maillard reaction of model compounds for peptide-bound lysine (4-aminobutyric acid, 6-aminocaproic acid, N-alpha-acetyl-L-lysine) with reducing sugars (D-ribose, D-xylose, D-arabinose, D-glucose, D-fructose, D-glyceraldehyde) was investigated under both stringent and mild conditions. With pentoses the corresponding omega-(dimethylmaleimido)carboxylic acids 1-3 were identified as substantial, hitherto unknown components by GC/MS and NMR. Their structure was confirmed by synthesis. A pathway to compounds 1-3 was derived from the results of 4-aminobutyric acid/[1-C-13]-D-arabinose isotopic labeling experiments. The new N-(dimethylmaleoyl)-omega-aminocarboxylic acid derivatives are shown to react under very mild conditions (pH 7, 32 degrees C) with thiols (methyl 3-mercaptopropionate, N-alpha-acetyl-L-cysteine methyl ester) to form the addition products 4-6. This reaction demonstrates that compounds of type 1-3 can be considered as potential protein cross-linkers in Maillard reactions.
