Dendritic Macroinitiator for the Ring—Opening Polymerization of γ—Benzyl L—Glutamate N—Carboxyanhydride

Much effort has been dedicated to the molecular design and synthesis of model proteins to define protein folding interactions and to develop protein-based materials. Among them, the ring-opening polymerization of -amino acid-N-carboxyanhy- drides (NCAs) has drawn much attention because the resulting artificial polypeptides have wide applications in biotechnology, biomineralization and diagnostics1, 2. It is well known that dendrimers are hyperbranched macromolecules possessing a very high co…     

E-olefin dipeptide isostere incorporation into a polypeptide backbone enables hydrogen bond perturbation: probing the requirements for Alzheimer's amyloidogenesis

Herein, we report a stereospecific E-olefin dipeptide isostere synthesis that can be used to make gram quantities of the Phe-Phe isostere desired for eliminating a specific backbone H-bond donor and acceptor in the Alzheimer's disease related Abeta peptide. The Phe19-Phe20 E-olefin analogue of Abeta(1-40) was prepared by solid-phase peptide synthesis and was subjected to amyloidogenesis conditions. This analogue can aggregate into spherical morphologies but does not progress on to form protofibrils or fibrils as is the case for the all-amide sequence, providing insight into the structural requirements for amyloidogenesis.     

Two new sesquiterpene lactones with the sulfonic acid group from Saussurea lappa

Two new sesquiterpene lactones with the unusual sulfonic acid group, 13-sulfo-dihydrosantamarine (1) and 13-sulfo-dihydroreynosin (2), have been isolated from the roots of Saussurea lappa C. Their structures, including the absolute configurations, were elucidated by spectroscopic methods.     

Chromatographic Features and Molecular Recognition Mechanism of a Strychnine Monolithic Molecularly Imprinted Polymer

A monolithic molecularly imprinted polymer (mMIP) with specific recognition ability for strychnine was prepared by in-situ polymerization, using methacrylic acid (MAA) as a functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as a cross-linking agent, toluene and dodecanol as porogenic solvents and 2, 2’-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as a initiator. Scanning electron microscopy and mercury intrusion porosimetry were used to identify the structural features of the mMIP. The results show that there were three kinds of pore structures. The large through-pore structure allows mobile phase to flow through a column of mMIP with a low back pressure and the other pores lead to the molecular recognition. Some chromatographic conditions such as the pH and the composition of the mobile phase were characterized. Strychnine was separated from compounds such as indole, quinine and brucine. The possible recognition mechanisms were ionic and hydrogen bonding interactions between the strychnine molecule and the mMIP.     

8-Arylpurines and their ultraviolet absorption spectra

Dehydrocyclization of 4-amino-5-arylamidopyrimidines in polyphosphoric acid to 8-arylpurines was further investigated. Various other 8-arylpurines were synthesized by this new procedure in high purity and yield. The ultraviolet absorption spectra of the arylpurines and the corresponding acylamidopyrimidines were measured at pH 1, 7, and 13 at 0.1 molar ionic strength. The spectra of the purines resemble those of the corresponding acylamidopyrimidines and, to a lesser extent, the corresponding 4,5-diaminopyrimidines. The bathochromic shifts caused by different substituting groups in monosubstituted purines, in general, parallel the inductive effect of the substituting groups. The hyperchromicity and the inductive constant of the substituting groups assume a linear relationship, for substitution at either the 2 or 6 position. These changes in the wave length of maximum absorption and in the molar extinction coefficient caused by 2, 6 and 8 substitutions of the purines reported here are in agreement with previous studies by Mason.
