The degradation pathways of Amadori compounds in vivo have not been fully understood because of the lack of suitable techniques although the compounds are considered to be key intermediates in glycation, which contributes to the development of pathologies associated with various chronic and age-related diseases. A new approach using 13C labeling and NMR spectroscopy has thus been described to obtain more insight into the degradation pathways. A 13C-labeled model Amadori compound, [1-13C]Nε-(1-deoxy-D-fructos-1-yl)hippuryl-lysine, was synthesized to investigate the degradation pathways of the sugar moiety. The labeled compound was then incubated under aerobic and physiologic conditions, followed by analysis using 13C-NMR spectroscopy to obtain the degradation profile. Consequently, after 28-d incubation at least nine 13C signals due to 13C-labeled products were observed with those due to unlabeled hippuryl-lysine. These labeled products included not only carboxymethylated hippuryl-lysine as the major product and α- and β-glucose but also acetate and formate. These experiments demonstrate the potential of using a 13C label and NMR spectroscopy in that the technique provides the comprehensive profiling of the degradation products containing the labeled position in spite of their chemical structures.
虽然阿莫多利化合物被认为是糖化过程中的关键中间体,而糖化是导致与各种慢性和老年相关疾病有关的病理发展的原因之一,但由于缺乏合适的技术,人们尚未完全了解阿莫多利化合物在体内的降解途径。因此,我们介绍了一种使用 13C 标记和核磁共振光谱的新方法,以便更深入地了解降解途径。为了研究糖分子的降解途径,我们合成了一种 13C 标记的模型 Amadori 化合物,即 [1-13C]Nε-(1-脱氧-<小>D小>-果糖-1-基)海马基赖氨酸。然后将标记的化合物在有氧和生理条件下进行培养,再利用 13C-NMR 光谱分析获得降解曲线。结果发现,经过 28 天的培养后,至少观察到 9 个 13C 信号,这些信号来自 13C 标记的产物和未标记的马尿酰赖氨酸。这些标记产物不仅包括主要产物羧甲基化的海泡石赖氨酸、α-和β-葡萄糖,还包括乙酸盐和甲酸盐。这些实验证明了使用 13C 标记和核磁共振光谱技术的潜力,因为该技术可以全面分析含有标记位置的降解产物,而无需考虑其化学结构。
