Chemo-enzymatic Synthesis of Z-Asp-Val-Tyr-NH_2——A Precursor Tripeptide of Thymopentin

Z-Asp-Val-Tyr-NH2,a precursor tripeptide of thymopentin(TP-5),was successfully synthesized by a combination of chemical and enzyme methods.Firstly,the precursor dipeptide Val-Tyr-NH2 was synthesized by a novel chemical method in four steps including the preparation of NCA-Val,the esterification of L-tyrosine and the ammonolysis of L-tyrosine ethyl ester,and the formation of Val-Tyr-NH2 from NCA-Val and L-Tyr-NH2.Secondly,a thermolysin,thermoase PC 10F was used to catalyze the formation of Z-Asp-Val-Tyr-NH2 in an aqueous/organic solvent diphase system with Z-Asp-OH and Val-Ty-NH2 as the substrates under thermodynamic control.The optimum conditions were pH=6.5,40 ℃,thermoase 100 mg,in 2-(N-morpholino) ethanesulfonic acid MES/NaOH(containing 5 mmol/L CaCl2) of n-butanol system(15/85,volume ratio) for 20 h in a maximum yield of 27.02%.     

Thymopentin Magnetic Molecularly Imprinted Polymers with Room Temperature Ionic Liquids as a Functional Monomer by Surface-Initiated ATRP

Ionic liquids are also called “designer solvents.” In this article, we calculated the interaction energy of four ionic liquids with a template by molecular dynamics simulation. A simple approach was used to prepare biomacromolecule molecularly imprinted polymers for adsorbent and separation thymopentin (Tp5). In order to overcome intrinsic and increase structural selectivity, surface-initiated ATRP and ionic liquids (ILs) as functional monomer were used to prepare Fe3O4 molecularly imprinted polymers. Selective adsorption was applied to investigate the interactions between the polymers and lysine, phenylalanine, glutathione (GSH), and hemoglobin. The results demonstrated that Fe3O4 MIPs with 1-vinyl-3-ethyl acetate imidazolium chloride as functional monomer demonstrated high isolation and recognition of performance to the Tp5.     

Kinetics of Adsorption of Thymopentin on a Gel-Type Strong Cation-Exchange Resin

The ion-exchange kinetics have been determined for adsorption of thymopentin on a gel-type sulfonated styrene–divinylbenzene resin converted to the ammonium form. Batch equilibrium and kinetic experiments were performed in chloride ion solutions of different concentration. Equilibrium data revealed isotherms were a good fit to the constant separation factor isotherm. Because of the high capacity and low cost of the resin its use for uptake of thymopentin was economically feasible. Kinetic data were compared with the predictions from the Nernst–Planck and Fick models. The intraparticle and effective diffusivity of thymopentin were obtained from these models.     

Determination of thymopentin in beagle dog blood by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry and its application to a preclinical pharmacokinetic study

The pentapeptide thymopentin (Arg‐Lys‐Asp‐Val‐Tyr, RKDVY) corresponds to amino acids 32–36 of the 49 amino acid immunomodulatory polypeptide, thymopoietin, whose biological activity is partially reproduced. Thymopentin is widely used in the clinic and represents a promising target for drug design but bioanalytical and pharmacokinetic data are limited due to its enzymatic instability. This paper reports a rapid and sensitive method based on liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry for the determination of thymopentin in beagle dog blood. To inactivate peptidases and stabilize thymopentin, acetonitrile was added to blood samples immediately after collection followed by addition of stable isotope‐labeled thymopentin as internal standard and washing with dichloromethane. Chromatography was carried out on an Ascentis Express Peptide ES‐C₁₈ column using gradient elution with methanol and aqueous 0.1% formic acid at a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min. Positive electrospray ionization mass spectrometry with selected reaction monitoring achieved linearity in the range of 1.5–800 ng/mL with good accuracy/precision and minimal matrix effects. The method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study in beagle dogs after intravenous administration of 0.2 mg/kg thymopentin.     

Solid-phase Synthesis of Thymopentin Derivative and Its Immune Regulatory Activity

Thymopentin derivative(septapeptide) was prepared by means of the solid-phase peptide synthesis method in which stepwise and segment condensations were involved.The structures of the key intermediate and target molecule were confirmed by ESI-MS,elementary analysis,IR,1H NMR and 13C NMR spectrometries in our experiments.In this study,the authors found that both thymopentin derivetive(septapeptide) and thymopentin could promote T cell proliferation and increase of E-rose fomation cells.
