Synthesis of chimeric tetrapeptide-linked cholic acid derivatives: Impending synergistic agents
摘要:
Tetrapeptides derived from glycine and beta-alanine were hooked at the C-3 beta position of the modified cholic acid to realize novel linear tetrapeptide-linked cholic acid derivatives. All the synthesized compounds were tested against a wide variety of microorganisms (Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria and fungi) and their cytotoxicity was evaluated against human embryonic kidney (HEK293) and human mammary adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cell lines. While relatively inactive by themselves, these compounds interact synergistically with antibiotics such as fluconazole and erythromycin to inhibit growth of fungi and bacteria, respectively, at 1-24 mu g/mL. The synergistic effect shown by our novel compounds is due to their inherent amphiphilicity. The fractional inhibitory concentrations reported are comparable to those reported for Polymyxin B derivatives. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
This work reports a novel caging strategy for designing fluorogenic probes to detect the activity of β-lactamases. The caging strategy uses a thiophenyl linker connected to a fluorophore caged by a good leaving group—dinitrophenyl. The uncaging proceeds in two steps through the sulfa-releasing and subsequent intramolecular substitution. The length of the linker has been examined and optimized to maximize

A method for conjugating a nucleic acid with a molecule is provided. The method includes steps of (a) reacting the nucleic acid having a 5′-monophosphate with an activating agent in a first buffer to form a solution; (b) mixing an alcohol with the solution formed in the step (a) to obtain an intermediate; and (c) dissolving the intermediate in a second buffer containing an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and adding a nucleophile thereinto to react the intermediate with the nucleophile.

The FPR1 antagonist cFLFLFK is conjugated to a tetraglycine chelate, and radiolabelled with 99mTc. In vitro binding assays demonstrate that the compound, 99mTc.cFLFLFK, is a useful tool for non-invasive imaging of leukocyte recruitment.

Photoactivatable ligationauxiliaries present an attractive approach for expanding the applicability of nativechemicalligation (NCL). In contrast to thiol-based mercaptobenzyl-type ligation scaffolds, photoactivatable auxiliaries are cleaved after ligation by photolysis, thereby simplifying protein assembly in non-cysteine NCL and causing minimal perturbation to the native polypeptide chains.
