Anticandidal activity of pyrimidine-peptide conjugates
摘要:
The ability of conjugates of peptides and 5-fluorocytosine or 5-fluoroorotic acid to enter Candida albicans was investigated. A number of conjugates of 5-fluoroorotic acid and peptides were synthesized using 1-(ethoxy-carbonyl)-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline as the coupling agent. Orotyl-L-leucyl-L-leucine, 5-fluoro-4-(N-succinamoyl-L-alanyl-L-leucine)-2(1H)-pyrimidinone [a 5-fluorocytosine derivative], and 5-fluoroorotyl-L-leucyl-L-leucine all inhibited the uptake of trimethionine into C. albicans WD 18-4. Inhibition by 5-fluoroorotyl-L-leucyl-L-leucine was competitive as judged using double-reciprocal plots. Evaluation of minimum inhibitory concentrations of peptide-5-fluorocytosine conjugates suggest that these conjugates enter C. albicans in the intact form. These results provide the first experimental evidence that peptides can carry pyrimidines into a eukaryote.

Oligonucleotide conjugates are needed for in vitro selection schemes aiming at reactions between small, organic reactants. A general strategy is provided for the generation of the required RNA reactant conjugates based on multifunctional dinucleotide analogs. These modified dinucleotides allow for enzymatic ligation to native or enzymatically transcribed RNAs. They further contain a flexible polyethylene glycol spacer for correct spatial positioning and a photolabile cleavage site for selective release. The dinucleotides can be derivatized with the desired organic compounds by activated ester chemistry as was demonstrated by coupling to several nucleobases and nucleotides.
