A synthetic ditryptophan conjugate that rescues bacteria from mercury toxicity through complexation
摘要:
The synthesis of ditryptophan-pyridine conjugates and their binding to mercury ions is described. Conjugate 3 shows an excellent ability to sequester mercury from solution and rescue bacterial growth in a concentration-dependent survival assay. It is proposed that such compounds, composed primarily of bioessential/biodegradable components, could be potentially used as sequestrating agents for the removal of Hg(II) ions in detoxification strategies.

chalcogenation of tryptophan-containingpeptides with disulfides/diselenides in moderate to good yields. It comprises broad substrate scope, functional group diversity, late-stage modification of drug molecules, and various valuable synthetic transformations, including room temperature easy removal of the picolinamide auxiliary, which could be applicable to tune the structure and function of peptides.
