L-(6,7-dimethoxy-4-coumaryl) alanine: an intrinsic probe for the labelling of peptides
摘要:
The asymmetric synthesis, spectral properties and incorporation into solid phase peptide synthesis are described for L-(6,7-dimethoxy-4-coumaryl)alanine (Dca). Dca has great utility as a specific and highly sensitive intrinsic probe for fluorescence labelling and quantitation of peptides and proteins. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
Design, Synthesis, Physicochemical Properties, and Evaluation of Novel Iron Chelators with Fluorescent Sensors
摘要:
The synthesis of a range of novel 3-hydroxypyridin-4-ones and 3-hydroxypyran-4-ones linked with different coumarin substituents is described. These compounds have been developed in order to provide a series of molecular probes for the quantification of intracellular labile iron pools. An evaluation of the effect of iron(III) on fluorescence intensity was undertaken. Chelation of iron(III) causes quenching of fluorescence. The relationship between iron(III) concentration and the extent of fluorescence quenching indicates that the metal is chelated in a complex with a metal-to-ligand stoichiometry of 1:3. The fluorescence of hydroxypyridinone compounds was found to be more efficiently quenched by iron(III) than were the hydroxypyranones. The metal-to-ligand stoichiometry at which maximum quenching is observed was found to depend on the site at which coumarin is attached. The efficiency of fluorescence quenching by iron(III) is markedly influenced by solvent polarity and pH. The permeability of two representative fluorescent chelators across human erythrocyte ghost membranes was investigated. The rate of permeability for a series of probes was found to be related to the corresponding ClogP values.
Through a systematic modification of the novel angiogenesis inhibitor 4-senecioyloxymethyl-6,7-dimethoxycoumarin (1) we found that a 6,7-dimethoxy moiety is important for bioactivity of 1. Replacement of the lactone functionality in coumarin 1 by an amide decreased its activity. By substitution of the senecioyl chain with various cinnamoyl groups we discovered 6d, bearing a 4-methoxycinnamoyl instead of senecioyl side chain, with inhibitory activity in HUVEC tube formation assay enhanced by one order of magnitude compared to 1. We have also synthesized compound 12, an analogue of 6d, with equipotency and improved water solubility. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
