Synthesis of Aib‐ and Phe(2Me)‐Containing Cyclopentapeptides

Some recently described pentapeptides containing the α,α‐disubstituted α‐amino acids Aib and Phe(2Me) have been cyclized in DMF solution using diphenyl phosphorazidate (DPPA), O‐(1H‐benzotriazol‐1‐yl)‐N,N,N′,N′‐tetamethyluronium tetrafluoroborate/1‐hydroxybenzotriazole (TBTU/HOBt), and diethyl phosphorocyanidate (DEPC), respectively, to give the corresponding cyclopentapeptides in fair‐to‐good yields. In the case of peptides with L ‐amino acids, and (R)‐ and (S)‐Phe(2Me), the yields differed significantly in favor of the L /(R) combination. The conformations in the crystals of cyclo(Gly‐Aib‐(R,S)‐Phe(2Me)‐Aib‐Gly) and cyclo(Gly‐(R)‐Phe(2Me)‐Pro‐Aib‐Gly) have been determined by X‐ray crystallography, leading to quite different results. In the latter case, the conformation in solution has been elucidated by NMR studies.     

Role of gemini surfactants (m‐s‐m type; m = 16, s = 4–6) on the reaction of [Zn(II)‐Gly‐Phe]+ with ninhydrin

In the present paper, reaction of zinc‐glycylphenylalanine ([Zn(II)‐Gly‐Phe]⁺) with ninhydrin has been investigated in gemini (m‐s‐m type; m = 16, s = 4–6) surfactants at temperature (70 °C) and pH (5.0). Monitoring the appearance of product at 400 nm was used to follow the kinetics, spectrophotometrically. The order of the reaction with respect to [Zn(II)‐Gly‐Phe]⁺ was unity while with respect to [ninhydrin] was fractional. The reaction constants involved in the mechanism were obtained. In addition to the rate constant (k_Ψ) increase and leveling‐off regions are observed with the geminis, just like as seen with conventional surfactant hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), the former produced a third region of increasing k_Ψ at higher concentrations. A close agreement between observed and calculated rate constants was found under varying experimental conditions. A suitable mechanism consistent with the experimental findings has been proposed.

Anti‐Adhesive,Platelet Gathering Effects of c‐RGD Modified Poly(p‐dioxanone‐co‐l‐Phe) Electrospun Membrane and Its Comprehensive Application in Intestinal Anastomosis

Intestinal resection and anastomosis are performed in over a million people with various bowel diseases annually. Excessive fibrosis and anastomotic site leakage are the main complications of anastomosis surgery, despite great improvements in operative technique and equipment in recent years. In this study, cRGD modified poly(p‐dioxanone‐co‐l ‐Phe) (PDPA) membranes are designed and applied in intestinal anastomosis to simultaneously solve the two aforementioned complications. cRGD is modified onto PDPA membranes through both physical absorption and π–π accumulation between d ‐Phe of cRGD and l ‐Phe of PDPA. Although cRGD modification enhanced the biocompatibility of PDPA membranes, cRGD modified PDPA membrane suppresses fibroblast proliferation both in vitro and in vivo as a result of degradation and subsequent release of fibroblast suppressive l ‐Phe from PDPA. Meanwhile, platelets are entrapped by cRGD modified PDPA membranes through the specific binding of cRGD and platelet GP_IIbIIIa. cRGD modified PDPA membranes are applied in rat intestinal anastomosis, and both adhesion and stenosis are successfully prevented at anastomotic sites. At the same time, bursting pressure, which represents healing intensity at anastomotic sites, is promoted. The gathering and activation of platelets on PDPA membranes induce secretion of autologous PDGF and VEGF to facilitate angiogenesis and subsequent healing of anastomotic sites.     

Narrow-bore liquid chromatography with multichannel detection in paediatric biochemistry: Analysis of phenylalanine and tyrosine in phenylketonuria

Summary In paediatric biochemistry, the analysis of drugs and endogenous compounds in preterm or low-birth weight neonates presents particular analytical problems. Sensitive techniques with small sample capacity are essential and in this context, narrow-bore (1–2mm) LC columns, coupled with appropriate low-volume detector cells and connections to reduce band dispersion, have been shown to offer significant advantages. By comparison with conventional columns an increase in sensitivity by a factor ofca. 2 can be achieved. The combination of narrow-bore columns and rapid-scanning UV detectors in reversed-phase LC enables the spectral information to be used for both peak recognition and homogeneity validation. Furthermore, “diode bunching” in the wavelength domain leads to a further two-fold increase in sensitivity. This combination of column and detector technology has been utilised in the design of a sensitive serum micro-assay of the essential aromatic amino acids in paediatric samples, capable of being used with 500nl sample, sensitive to 13pg phenylalanine and 9pg tyrosine and linear over the requisite therapeutic range.

Studies on Microbial Biosensor for DL-Phenylalanine and Its Dynamic Response Process

Abstract

A biosensor for the determination of DL-phenylalanine, based on immobilized bacteria P. Vulgaris in calcium alginate gel coupled with an amperometric oxygen electrode, was designed and constructed. The effect of the culture medium, the response character of the electrode and its kinetic mechanism were studied, and the activity of phenylalanine deaminase was tested by biochemical method. The biosensor exhibited longer lifetime, higher sensitivity and faster response to the Phe in the linear range of 2.5×10^?5 to 2.5×10^?3 M for the optimum analytical performance. The relationship between the response velocity and the substrate concentration was also discussed. The results indicate that the dynamic response process of the reaction catalyzed by bacteria is similar to that by isolated enzymes. The apparent Michaelis constant. K_m ^app the apparent activation energy. E_a and the temperature coefficient, Q₁₀ for deaminase in the immobilized bacterial membrane were calculated to be 2.0×10^?3 M, 49.5kJ/mol and 1.86 respectively.     

Improving detection sensitivity of amino acids in thyroid tissues by using phthalic acid as a mobile phase additive in hydrophilic interaction chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry

In this work, 0.08 mmol L⁻¹ of phthalic acid was introduced as a mobile phase additive to quantify free amino acids (AAs) by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) coupled with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). The addition of phthalic acid significantly increased the signal intensity of protonated AA ions, resulting from the decrease of the relative abundance of AA sodium adducts. Meanwhile, the chromatographic peak shapes of AAs were optimized. As a consequence, there was a noticeable increase in the sensitivity of detection for AAs. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) of the AAs ranged from 0.0500 to 20.0 ng mL⁻¹ and from 0.100 to 50.0 ng mL⁻¹, respectively, which were 4–50 times lower compared to the values measured without the addition of phthalic acid. The enhanced detection and separation of AAs were obtained by merely adding phthalic acid to the mobile phase without changing other conditions. Eventually, this simple method was validated and successfully applied to the analysis of twenty-four kinds of free AAs in human thyroid carcinoma and para-carcinoma tissues, demonstrating a significant increase of most AAs in thyroid carcinoma tissues (p < 0.05).     

同步荧光法同时测定溶解态的菲与2-乙基菲

将同步荧光法结合人工神经网络(ANN)和支持向量回归(SVR)用于混合体系中荧光光谱重叠的菲(Phe)和2-乙基菲(2-EP)两组分的同时测定。通过三维同步荧光法结合平行因子(PARAFAC)分析寻得Phe和2-EP的特征波长差Δλ为118 nm。在220~280 nm范围内,以31个波长处荧光强度值作为模型的输入变量用于建立ANN和SVR模型。结果显示,ANN模型分析Phe和2-EP预测样本的回收率分别为92.5%~104.9%和96.1%~104.3%,预测均方根误差(RMSEP)分别为2.08和2.95;SVR模型分析预测样本的回收率分别为98.2%~101.3%和94.9%~104.2%,RMSEP分别为0.74和2.42。实际水样的加标回收实验显示,基体简单的矿泉水中两种模型均取得满意结果;而基体复杂的湖水中样品预测值较实际值低,且SVR模型比ANN的预测性能更加稳健,泛化能力更强。将同步荧光法结合SVR模型应用于Phe和2-EP单独及混合状态下与腐植酸(HA)相互作用的研究,结果显示混合体系中Phe和2-EP与HA的结合系数均小于各自单组分体系,表明Phe和2-EP之间存在竞争吸附。
