We report a novel type of fluorescent product derived from the reaction of the lysine residue with malondialdehyde (MDA). When the lysine-containing peptide (N-acetyl-glycyl-L-lysine methyl ester) was treated with MDA prepared by the acid hydrolysis of 1,1,3,3-tetramethoxypropane, the main fluorescent product, which corresponded neither to the 1-amino-3-iminopropene derivative (2) nor to the 4-methyl-1,4-dihydro-3,5-dicarbaldehyde derivative (3), was detected by reverse-phase HPLC. By analysis of its UV, NMR, and high-resolution FAB mass spectra, it was confirmed to be 1-[5-carboxymethyl-5-(N-acetylglycylamino)pentyl]-3-[1-(5-carboxymethyl-5-(N-acetylglycylamino)-pentyl)-3,5-diformyl-1,4-dihydropyridin-4-yl]pyridinium (1). This finding may provide a new clue to the formation mechanisms of fluorescent lipofuscin-like pigment.

Two vitaminK analogues bearing a carboxylic acid side chain (9a and its deuterated analogue 9b) were each synthesised in six steps from commercially available menadione. Analogue 9b was conjugated to lysozyme and bovine serum albumin (BSA) using EDCI/HOBT and by prior formation of its activated succinimidyl ester 11. Quantification of the thus formed conjugates by ESMS and LC-MS revealed that the

spectrum of reactions between these compounds and biomolecules, and gain insight into their mechanisms. In this study, we investigated the reactivity of endogenous α‐oxoaldehyde, methylglyoxal, and of malonaldehyde towards amino acid derivatives, and we identified new adducts with Nα‐acetyllysine and Nα‐acetylhistidine. In addition, we showed that a structurally analogous adduct is also formed with the

The synthesis of two analogues of CoQ (10 and 13) suitable for conjugation to a peptide or protein, and hence the development of an ELISA immunoassay, is presented. These analogues were synthesized from the protected quinone, 1-bromo-2-methyl-3,4,5,6-tetramethoxybenzene (1), itself prepared from commercially available CoQ-0 (3). Model coupling studies of one of the analogues (10) to N-acetyl-L-lysine methyl ester and a lysine containing dipeptide (N-acetyl-glycine-L-lysine methyl ester) were also undertaken as a first step to monoclonial antibody production.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for inhibiting and reversing nonenzymatic cross-linking (protein ageing). Accordingly, compositions are disclosed which comprise substituted imidazolium compounds capable of inhibiting the formation of, as well as reversing already formed, advanced glycosylation end products of target proteins. The method comprises contacting the target protein with the composition. Both industrial and therapeutic applications for the invention are envisioned, as food spoilage and animal protein ageing can be treated.
