Exploitation of Subtilisin BPN‘ as Catalyst for the Synthesis of Peptides Containing Noncoded Amino Acids, Peptide Mimetics and Peptide Conjugates
摘要:
The ability of the serine protease subtilisin BPN' to catalyze peptide bond formation between fragments containing noncoded amino acids, peptide mimetics, and peptide conjugates in a kinetic approach was explored. It was found that the enzyme accepts numerous of these types of compounds both as acyl donor and acyl acceptor. The results together with specificity studies reported by others provide an active site model as a guideline in the design of enzymatic synthesis of biologically important compounds.
Chelate oxorhenium to assemble new integrin antagonists
摘要:
Assembly of independent chemical modules through oxorhenium coordination by a NS2 + S chelation motif was applied to the synthesis of RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) analogs. Modules were assembled through oxorhenium chelation to give a series of 18 metal complexes in good yields and satisfactory purities. Screening of these oxorhenium coordinates as antagonists of integrins alpha V beta 3, alpha IIb beta 3 and alpha V beta 5 led to the identification of 3 bioactive compounds that exhibit submicromolar affinities for the 3 integrins. Preliminary studies showed that the corresponding oxotechnetium complexes are stable in mice plasma and therefore could be proposed for the molecular imaging of pathologies that overexpress integrins alpha V beta 3 and alpha V beta 5.
