Nine amphiphilic heptapeptides, synthetic anion transporters (SATs) of the form (C18H37)2N–Y–(Gly)3-Pro-(Gly)3–OCH2Ph were prepared. The unit (OH2)Y represents the diacids succinic, glutaric, diglycolic, 3-thiaglutaric, N-methyliminodiglycine, isophthalic, and terephthalic acids. Additionally, Y was absent or present as acetic acid affording the structure (C18H37)2N–(Gly)3-Pro-(Gly)3–OCH2Ph or (C18H37)2N–(Gly)4-Pro-(Gly)3–OCH2Ph. The diglycolic acid derivative was reported previously but the remaining compounds are new. These nine peptides mediated release of Cl– from DOPC/DOPA vesicles with varying efficacy. Chloride release diminished for the Y-containing amphiphilic heptapeptides in the order glutaric, succinic > 3-thiaglutaric > terephthalic > acetic, N-methyliminodiacetic, > no Y, isophthalic. The release of Cl– was generally exponential over time but the curve shapes were distinctly sigmoidal for the more flexible diacids. Computational studies were undertaken to assess differences in conformation. Overall, it appeared that Cl– release for those SATs that could adopt a linear conformation on the N-terminal side of proline correlated best with the polarity of the diacid.
合成了九种两亲性庚肽,即合成阴离子转运蛋白(SATs),其形式为(C18H37)2N–Y–(Gly)3-Pro-(Gly)3–OCH2Ph。单位(OH2)Y代表二酸,即琥珀酸、戊二酸、二甘醇酸、3-硫代戊二酸、N-甲基亚氨基二甘氨酸、间苯二甲酸和对苯二甲酸。此外,Y可以不存在或以醋酸形式存在,形成结构(C18H37)2N–(Gly)3-Pro-(Gly)3–OCH2Ph或(C18H37)2N–(Gly)4-Pro-(Gly)3–OCH2Ph。曾报道过二甘醇酸衍生物,但其余化合物是新的。这九种肽以不同的效力介导DOPC/DOPA囊泡中Cl–的释放。含有Y的两亲性庚肽的氯离子释放顺序为戊二酸、琥珀酸 > 3-硫代戊二酸 > 对苯二甲酸 > 醋酸,N-甲基亚氨基二醋酸,> 无Y,间苯二甲酸。Cl–的释放通常随时间呈指数衰减,但对于更具柔韧性的二酸,曲线形状明显呈S形。进行了计算研究以评估构象差异。总的来说,对于那些能够在脯氨酸N末端侧形成线性构象的SATs,氯离子释放与二酸的极性最为相关。
