Cyclic dipeptides exhibit potency for scavenging radicals
摘要:
Twenty kinds of cyclic dipeptides containing L-leucine were synthesized, and their antioxidant activity against (OH)-O-center dot and O-2(center dot-) was investigated. Compounds possessing polar amino acid residues, such as Asp, Cys, Glu, Lys, Pro, Ser, and Trp, exhibited higher antioxidant activity against (OH)-O-center dot than vitamin E. However, only cyclo(L-Cys-L-Leu) scavenged O-2(center dot-). (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
concise synthesis of this type of DKPs through diboronic acid anhydride-catalyzed hydroxy-directed peptidebondformations. The sequential reactions in this report, which consist of three steps, an intermolecular catalytic condensation reaction in which water is the only byproduct, a simple deprotection of the nitrogen-protecting group, and an intramolecular cyclization, enabled the synthesis of functionalized
