Synthesis and Site-Specific Incorporation of Red-Shifted Azobenzene Amino Acids into Proteins
摘要:
A series of red-shifted azobenzene amino acids were synthesized in moderate-to-excellent yields via a two-step procedure in which tyrosine derivatives were first oxidized to the corresponding quinonoidal spirolactories followed by ceric Ammonium nitrate-catalyzed azo formation with the substituted phenylhydrazines. The resulting azobenzene-Alanine derivatives exhibited efficient trans/cis photoswitching upon irradiation With a blue (448 nm) or green (530 nm) LED light Moreover, nine superfolder green fluorescent protein (sfGFP) Mutants carrying the atobenzene-alanine analogues Were expressed in E. coli in good yields via amber codon suppression with an orthogonal tRNA/Py1RS pair, and one of the mutants showed durable photoswitching with the LED light.

Bicyclic dihydropyrimidine-carboxamide compounds of formula I described herein inhibit Rho Kinase and may be used for the treatment of many disorders associated with ROCK enzymes mechanisms, such as pulmonary diseases including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
To improve the in vitro and in vivo potency of our first low molecular weight GPIIb/IIIa antagonist 1 (TAK-029), a series of 2-[4-[2-(4-amidinobenzoylamino)-2-(substituted)acetyl]-3-(2-methoxy-2-oxoethyl)-2-oxopiperazinyl]acetic acids were synthesized through modification of the glycine moiety of 1 and evaluated for their ability to inhibit in vitro adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP)-induced platelet aggregation of guinea pig platelet rich plasma (PRP). Among the compounds examined, the (3S, 2S)-4-methoxyphenylalanine derivative 4h showed the most potent antagonistic activity with an IC50 value of 13 nM. Dose-dependent inhibition of ex vivo platelet aggregation was achieved with oral administration of 4h (0.3-1.0 mg/kg) to guinea pigs. Complete inhibition was observed for up to 8 h, and 43% inhibition could still be observed 24 h after oral administration of 1.0 mg/kg. The long-lasting antiplatelet effect of 4h suggests that 4h would be suitable for once-a-day dosing. Structure-activity relationships (SAR) were examined in the series of the phenylalanine derivatives. An increase in the electron density around the 4-position of the phenyl ring of the phenylalanine moiety led to an increase in the antiplatelet activity, suggesting the existence of a hydrophobic and electrostatic interaction site in addition to the ionic binding sites in the GPIIb/IIIa.
Leu-enkephalin analogues containing a fluorinated derivative of Tyr1 or Phe4 were synthesized by the solid-phase method and their biological activities were studied. Fluorination of the p-position of Phe4 resulted in a marked potentiation of the inhibitory effect on electrically induced contractions of guinea-pig ileum (GPI) and mouse vas deferens (MVD). On the other hand, substitution of fluorine for the hydroxyl group of Tyr1 or introduction of a trifluoromethyl group at the p-position of Phe4 markedly reduced the inhibitory effect in both preparations. Fluorination of other positions of Tyr1 and Phe4 did not cause substantial changes in the activities as compared with Leu-enkephalin.
通过固相法合成了含有 Tyr1 或 Phe4 含氟衍生物的亮氨酸脑啡肽类似物,并研究了它们的生物活性。对 Phe4 的 p 位进行氟化可明显增强对电诱导的豚鼠回肠(GPI)和小鼠输精管(MVD)收缩的抑制作用。另一方面,用氟取代 Tyr1 的羟基或在 Phe4 的 p 位上引入三氟甲基,可明显降低这两种制剂的抑制作用。与亮氨酸脑啡肽相比,Tyr1 和 Phe4 其他位置的氟化并没有引起活性的实质性变化。

Tyr-D-Arg-Phe-beta Ala-NH2 (I) and its six fluorinated analogs were synthesized. Their opioid receptor binding properties were examined in vitro and their analgesic activity in vivo using the mouse writhing test. It was found that I was one of the most selective and potent mu-receptor agonists reported to date. [Tyr(2F)1](VI) and [Tyr(3F)1](V) derivatives of I showed similar biological properties to those of I. Since
