The carbohydrate recognition properties of synthetic tripodal receptors relying on H-bonding interactions have highlighted the crucial role played by the functional groups matching saccharidic hydroxyls. Herein, pyrrole and pyridine, which emerged as two of the most effective H-bonding groups, were quantitatively compared through their isostructural substitution within the architecture of a shape-persistent bicyclic cage receptor. NMR and ITC binding studies gave for the pyrrolic receptor a 20-fold larger affinity toward octyl-β-d-glucopyranoside in CDCl(3), demonstrating the superior recognition properties of pyrrole under conditions in which differences would depend on the intrinsic binding ability of the two groups. The three-dimensional structures of the two glucoside complexes in solution were elucidated by combined NMR and molecular mechanics computational techniques, showing that the origin of the stability difference between the two closely similar complex structures resides in the ability of pyrrole to establish shorter/stronger H-bonds with the glucosidic ligand compared to pyridine. 相似文献

Ibuprofen (Ibu) and β‐cyclodextrin (βCD) and its derivative (hydroxypropyl‐β‐cyclodextrin, HPβCD) complexes spatial geometry information were studyed. Firstly, phase solubility experiment was carried out for S‐(+)‐ibuprofen (SIbu) and cyclodextrins complex. The apparent stability constant (Kc) for 1:1 complexes are 1065 M‐1 (βCD) and 1476 M‐1 (HPβCD) respectively. Secondly, 1H NMR and two‐dimensional rotating‐frame overhauser effect spectroscopy (2D ROESY) were used for binding study, and confirmed that benzene ring of Ibu is deeply included into the cavity and racemic Ibu (RSIbu) can be discriminated by βCD or HPβCD. Finally, docking model was given by theoretical investigation. The model with ‐4.77 kcal/mol binding energy matches experimental structure. 相似文献

The human lectin galectin‐1 (hGal‐1) translates sugar signals, that is, β‐galactosides, into effects on the level of cells, for example, growth regulation, and has become a model for studying binding of biopharmaceutically relevant derivatives. Bound‐state conformations of Galβ‐C‐(1→3)‐Glcβ‐OMe ( 1 ) and its βGal‐(1→3)‐βGlc‐OMe disaccharide parent compound were studied by using NMR spectroscopy (transferred (TR)‐NOESY data), assisted by docking experiments and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The molecular recognition process involves a conformational selection event. Although free C‐glycoside access four distinct conformers in solution, hGal‐1 recognizes shape of a local minimum of compound 1 , the syn‐Φ/syn‐Ψ conformer, not the structure at global minimum. MD simulations were run to explain, in structural terms, the observed geometry of the complex. 相似文献

1H NMR spectroscopic titrations in competitive and non‐competitive media, as well as binding studies in two‐phase systems, such as phase transfer of sugars from aqueous into organic solvents and dissolution of solid carbohydrates in apolar media revealed both highly effective recognition of neutral carbohydrates and interesting binding preferences of an acyclic phenanthroline‐based receptor 1 . Compared to the previously described acyclic receptors, compound 1 displays significantly higher binding affinities, the rare capability to extract sugars from water into non‐polar organic solutions and α‐ versus β‐anomer binding preference in the recognition of glycosides, which differs from those observed for other receptor systems. X‐ray crystallographic investigations revealed the presence of water molecules in the binding pocket of 1 that are engaged in the formation of hydrogen‐bonding motifs similar to those suggested by molecular modelling for the sugar OH groups in the receptor–sugar complexes. The molecular modelling calculations, synthesis, crystal structure and binding properties of 1 are described and compared with those of the previously described receptors. 相似文献

A residual silanol group‐protecting chiral stationary phase (CSP) based on optically active (3,3′‐diphenyl‐1,1′‐binaphthyl)‐20‐crown‐6 was successfully applied to the resolution of fluoroquinolone compounds including gemifloxacin mesylate. The chiral recognition ability of the residual silanol group‐protecting CSP was generally greater than that of the residual silanol group‐containing CSP. From these results, it was concluded that the simple protection of the residual silanol groups of the latter CSP with lipophilic n‐octyl groups can improve its chiral recognition ability for the resolution of racemic fluoroquinolone compounds. The chromatographic resolution behaviors were investigated as a function of the content and type of organic and acidic modifiers and the ammonium acetate concentration in aqueous mobile phase and the column temperature. Especially, the addition of ammonium acetate to the mobile phase was found to be a quite effective means of reducing the enantiomer retentions without sacrificing the chiral recognition efficiency of the CSP. 相似文献

Cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]), an uncharged and water‐soluble macrocyclic host, binds protonated amino saccharides (D ‐glucosamine, D ‐galactosamine, D ‐mannosamine and 6‐amino‐6‐deoxy‐D ‐glucose) with excellent affinity (Ka=103 to 104 M ?1). The host–guest complexation was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and MALDI‐TOF mass spectral analyses. NMR analyses revealed that the amino saccharides, except D ‐mannosamine, are bound as α‐anomers within the CB[7] cavity. ITC analyses reveal that CB[7] has excellent affinity for binding amino saccharides in water. The maximum affinity was observed for D ‐galactosamine hydrochloride (Ka=1.6×104 M ?1). Such a strong affinity for any saccharide in water using a synthetic receptor is unprecedented, as is the supramolecular stabilization of an α‐anomer by the host. 相似文献

A novel host−guest recognition motif based on a water‐soluble pillar[7]arene ( WP7 ) and a 2,7‐diazapyrenium salt ( DMDAP ) was prepared. According to the integrated results of 1H NMR, 2D NOESY, UV–vis spectroscopy and fluorescence titration experiments, we demonstrated that the molecular recognition of WP7 to DMDAP in water not only has high association constant but also has pH‐responsiveness. Subsequently, we took advantage of this molecular recognition motif to fabricate a supra‐amphiphile based on WP7 and an amphiphilic 2,7‐diazapyrenium derivative DAPAC . Its controllable self‐assembly in water was also investigated by means of TEM and DLS techniques. 相似文献

The human macrophage galactose‐type lectin (MGL) is a key physiological receptor for the carcinoma‐associated Tn antigen (GalNAc‐α‐1‐O‐Ser/Thr) in mucins. NMR and modeling‐based data on the molecular recognition features of synthetic Tn‐bearing glycopeptides by MGL are presented. Cognate epitopes on the sugar and matching key amino acids involved in the interaction were identified by saturation transfer difference (STD) NMR spectroscopy. Only the amino acids close to the glycosylation site in the peptides are involved in lectin contact. Moreover, control experiments with non‐glycosylated MUC1 peptides unequivocally showed that the sugar residue is essential for MGL binding, as is Ca2+. NMR data were complemented with molecular dynamics simulations and Corcema‐ST to establish a 3D view on the molecular recognition process between Gal, GalNAc, and the Tn‐presenting glycopeptides and MGL. Gal and GalNAc have a dual binding mode with opposite trend of the main interaction pattern and the differences in affinity can be explained by additional hydrogen bonds and CH–π contacts involving exclusively the NHAc moiety. 相似文献

In this study, enzymatic hydrolysis and chemometric methods were utilized to discriminate glycosylated platycosides in the extract of Platycodi Radix by LC–MS. Laminarinase, whose enzymatic activity was evaluated using gentiobiose and laminaritriose, was a suitable enzyme to identify the glycosylated platycosides. The laminarinase produced deapi‐platycodin D and platycodin D from the isolated deapi‐platycoside E and platycoside E through the loss of two glucose units by enzymatic reaction, respectively. After hydrolyzing a crude extract by laminarinase, the reconstructed total ion chromatogram generated by a chemometric technique sorted peaks of deglycosylated platycosides easily. Structural information of the glycosylated isomers was revealed through fragment ions generated by the sodiated C0β ion corresponding to reduced disaccharides in the positive MS4 spectra. Characteristic fragment ions of Glc‐(1→6)‐Glc moieties were observed through ring cleavages of 0,2A0β, 0,3A0β, and 0,4A0β, whereas Glc‐(1→3)‐Glc moieties produced only 0,3A0β ions. Lithium‐adducted platycosides allowed more detailed structural analysis of glycosidic bond cleavage corresponding to Y1β and B1β in addition to ring cleavage. 相似文献

A novel 4,4′‐sulfonyldianiline‐bridged bis(β‐cyclodextrin (CD)) 2 was synthesized, and its complex stability constants (Ks) for the 1 : 1 inclusion complexation with bile salts, i.e., cholate (CA), deoxycholate (DCA), glycocholate (GCA), and taurocholate (TCA) have been determined in phosphate buffer (pH 7.2) at 25° by fluorescence spectroscopy. The result indicated that 2 can act as efficient fluorescent sensor and display remarkable fluorescence enhancement upon addition of optically inert bile salts. Structures of the inclusion complexes between bile salts and 2 were elucidated by 2D‐NMR experiments, indicating that the anionic tail group and the D ring of bile salts penetrate into one CD cavity of 2 from the wide opening deeply, while the phenyl moiety of the CD linker is partially self‐included in the other CD cavity to form a host–linker–guest binding mode. As compared with native β‐CD 1 upon complexation with bile salts, bis(β‐CD) 2 enhances the binding ability and molecular selectivity. Typically, 2 gives the highest Ks value of 26200 M ?1 for the complexation with CA, which may be ascribed to the simultaneous contributions of hydrophobic, H‐bond, and electrostatic interactions. These phenomena are discussed from the viewpoints of multiple recognition and induce‐fit interactions between host and guest. 相似文献

The synthesis of several substrate analogues of the enzyme β,β‐carotene 15,15′‐monooxygenase is reported. The substrate specificity of enriched enzyme fractions isolated from chicken intestinal mucosa was investigated. Regarding substrate binding/cleavage, these experiments demonstrate that i) any deviation from the `rod‐like' β,β‐carotene structure is not tolerated, ii) one `natural', unsubstituted β‐ionone ring is required, iii) the position and presence of the Me groups attached to the polyene chain is significant. These results suggest a hydrophobic barrel‐like substrate binding site in which the protein's amino acid residues through interaction with the Me groups, direct the central C=C bond in binding distance to the active site's metal‐oxo center, supporting the unique regiospecificity of cleavage to retinal (provitamin A). 相似文献

High‐resolution multidimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy serves as an irreplaceable and versatile tool in various chemical investigations. In this study, a method based on the concept of partial homogeneity is developed to offer two‐dimensional (2D) high‐resolution NMR spectra under inhomogeneous fields. Oscillating gradients are exerted to encode the high‐resolution information, and a field‐inhomogeneity correction algorithm based on pattern recognition is designed to recover high‐resolution spectra. Under fields where inhomogeneity primarily distributes along a single orientation, the proposed method will improve performances of 2D NMR spectroscopy without increasing the experimental duration or significant loss in sensitivity, and thus may open important perspectives for studies of inhomogeneous chemical systems. 相似文献

Twelve peptides, 1 – 12 , have been synthesized, which consist of alternating sequences of α‐ and β‐amino acid residues carrying either proteinogenic side chains or geminal dimethyl groups (Aib). Two peptides, 13 and 14 , containing 2‐methyl‐3‐aminobutanoic acid residues or a ‘random mix’ of α‐, β2‐, and β3‐amino acid moieties were also prepared. The new compounds were fully characterized by CD (Figs. 1 and 2), and 1H‐ and 13C‐NMR spectroscopy, and high‐resolution mass spectrometry (HR‐MS). In two cases, 3 and 14 , we discovered novel types of turn structures with nine‐ and ten‐membered H‐bonded rings forming the actual turns. In two other cases, 8 and 11 , we found 14/15‐helices, which had been previously disclosed in mixed α/β‐peptides containing unusual β‐amino acids with non‐proteinogenic side chains. The helices are formed by peptides containing the amino acid moiety Aib in every other position, and their backbones are primarily not held together by H‐bonds, but by the intrinsic conformations of the containing amino acid building blocks. The structures offer new possibilities of mimicking peptide–protein and protein–protein interactions (PPI). 相似文献

A new heteroditopic calix[4]diquinone triazole containing receptor capable of recognising both cations and anions through Lewis base and C? H hydrogen‐bonding modes, respectively, of the triazole motif has been prepared. This ion‐pair receptor cooperatively binds halide/monovalent‐cation combinations in an aqueous mixture, with selectivity trends being established by 1H NMR and UV/Vis spectroscopy. Cation binding by the calix[4]diquinone oxygen and triazole nitrogen donors enhances the strength of the halide complexation at the isophthalamide recognition site of the receptor. Conversely, anions bound in the receptor’s isophthalamide cavity enhance cation recognition. 1H NMR investigations in solution suggest that the receptor’s triazole motifs are capable of coordinating simultaneously to both cation and anion guest species. Solid‐state X‐ray crystallographic structural analysis of a variety of receptor ion‐pair adducts further demonstrates the dual cation–anion binding role of the triazole group. 相似文献

Photochemical internalization (PCI) has shown great promise as a therapeutic alternative for targeted drug delivery by light‐harnessed activation. However, it has only been applicable to therapeutic macromolecules or medium‐sized molecules. Herein we describe the use of an amphiphilic, water‐soluble porphyrin–β‐cyclodextrin conjugate (mTHPP‐βCD) as a “Trojan horse” to facilitate the endocytosis of CD‐guest tamoxifens into breast‐cancer cells. Upon irradiation, the porphyrin core of mTHPP‐βCD expedited endosomal membrane rupture and tamoxifen release into the cytosol, as documented by confocal microscopy. The sustained complexation of mTHPP‐βCD with tamoxifen was corroborated by 2D NMR spectroscopy and FRET studies. Following the application of PCI protocols with 4‐hydroxytamoxifen (4‐OHT), estrogen‐receptor β‐positive (Erβ+, but not ERβ?) cell groups exhibited extensive cytotoxicity and/or growth suspension even at 72 h after irradiation. 相似文献

Two representatives of a new type of β‐amino acids, carrying two functionalized side chains, one in the 2‐ and one in the 3‐position, have been prepared stereoselectively: a β‐Ser derivative with an additional CH2OH group in the 2‐position (for β‐peptides with better water solubility; Scheme 2) and a β‐HCys derivative with an additional CH2SBn group in the 2‐position (for disulfide formation and metal complexation with the derived β‐peptides; Scheme 3). Also, a simple method for the preparation of α‐methylidene‐β‐amino acids is presented (see Boc‐2‐methylidene‐β‐HLeu‐OH, 8 in Scheme 3). The two amino acids with two serine or two cysteine side chains are incorporated into a β‐hexa‐ and two β‐heptapeptides ( 18 and 23/24 , resp.), which carry up to four CH2OH groups. Disulfide formation with the β‐peptides carrying two CH2SH groups generates very stable 1,2‐dithiane rings in the centre of the β‐heptapeptides, and a cyclohexane analog was also prepared (cf. 27 in Scheme 6). The CD spectra in H2O clearly indicate the presence of 314‐helical structures of those β‐peptides ( 18 , 23 , 24 , 27b ) having the `right' configurations at all stereogenic centers (Fig. 2). NMR Measurements (Tables 1 and 2, and Fig. 4) in aqueous solution of one of the new β‐peptides ( 24 ) are interpreted on the assumption that the predominant secondary structure is the 314‐helix, a conformation that has been found to be typical for β‐peptides in MeOH or pyridine solution, according to our previous NMR investigations. 相似文献

Three novel bis(β‐cyclodextrin (CD))s with flexible glycol linkers, i.e., ethylene glycol‐bridged bis(6‐hydroxy‐6‐deoxy‐β‐CD) ( 2 ), diethylene glycol‐bridged bis(6‐hydroxy‐6‐deoxy‐β‐CD) ( 3 ), and triethylene glycol‐bridged bis(6‐hydroxy‐6‐deoxy‐β‐CD) ( 4 ) have been synthesized by the reaction of mono[6‐O‐(p‐toluenesulfonyl)]‐β‐CD with corresponding materials. The inclusion complexation behaviors of these compounds 2 – 4 with organic dyes; that is, acridine red (=N‐[(3Z)‐6‐(methylamino)‐3H‐xanthen‐3‐ylidene]methanaminium chloride; AR), neutral red (=N8,N8,3‐trimethylphenazine‐2,8‐diamine hydrochloride; NR), ammonium 8‐anilinonaphthalene‐1‐sulfonate (ANS), sodium 6‐(p‐toluidinyl)‐naphthalene‐2‐sulfonate (TNS), rhodamine B (RhB) and brilliant green (=N‐(4‐{[4‐(diethylamino)cyclohexa‐2,5‐dien‐1‐yl](phenyl)methyl}cyclohex‐2‐en‐1‐ylidene)‐N‐ethyl‐ethanaminium hydrogen sulfate; BG), have been investigated at 25° in phosphate buffer (pH 7.20) by ultraviolet, fluorescence, and 2D‐NMR spectroscopy. The results indicate that the two linked CD units may cooperatively bind a guest, and the molecular binding ability toward dye guests, especially bent ANS, T‐shaped RhB, and triangular BG, can be extended. This cooperative binding mode is confirmed by Job's experiments and 2D‐NMR investigations. Furthermore, the complex stability depends greatly on the linker length of these glycol‐bridged bis(β‐CD)s and the size and shape of guest. The higher binding ability and selectivity of dye molecules by bis(β‐CD)s 2 – 4 are discussed from the viewpoint of size/shape‐fit concept and multiple recognition mechanism. 相似文献

The structural features of a representative set of five complexes of octyl α- and β-mannosides with some members of a new generation of chiral tripodal diaminopyrrolic receptors, namely, (R)-5 and (S)- and (R)-7, have been investigated in solution and in the solid state by a combined X-ray, NMR spectroscopy, and molecular modeling approach. In the solid state, the binding arms of the free receptors 7 delimit a cleft in which two solvent molecules are hydrogen bonded to the pyrrolic groups and to the benzenic scaffold. In a polar solvent (CD(3)CN), chemical shift and intermolecular NOE data, assisted by molecular modeling calculations, ascertained the binding modes of the interaction between the receptor and the glycoside for these complexes. Although a single binding mode was found to adequately describe the complex of the acyclic receptor 5 with the α-mannoside, for the complexes of the cyclic receptors 7 two different binding modes were required to simultaneously fit all the experimental data. In all cases, extensive binding through hydrogen bonding and CH-π interactions is responsible for the affinities measured in the same solvent. Furthermore, the binding modes closely account for the recognition preferences observed toward the anomeric glycosides and for the peculiar enantiodiscrimination properties exhibited by the chiral receptors. 相似文献

Zinc‐induced oligomerization of amyloid‐β peptide (Aβ) produces potentially pathogenic agents of Alzheimer's disease. Mutations and modifications in the metal binding domain 1–16 of Aβ peptide crucially affect its zinc‐induced oligomerization by changing intermolecular zinc mediated interface. The 3D structure of this interface appearing in a range of Aβ species is a prospective drug target for disease modifying therapy. Using NMR spectroscopy, EXAFS spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and isothermal titration calorimetry the interaction of zinc ions with Aβ fragments 1–7 and 1–10 carrying familial Taiwanese mutation D7H was studied. Zinc ions induce formation of a stable homodimer formed by the two peptide chains fastened by two zinc ions and stacking interactions of imidazole rings. A binuclear zinc interaction fold in the dimer structure was discovered. It can be used for designing zinc‐regulated proteins and zinc‐mediated self‐assembling peptides. 相似文献
