A protocol has been developed involving the derivatization of glycan mixtures with 2-aminoacridone and co-injection with a dextran ladder derivatized with methyl 4-aminobenzoate (M-4AB). These two derivatizing agents have very different ultraviolet absorbance and fluorescence characteristics. A Chromatographic separation using a normal-phase column support followed by in-series UV and fluorescence detection allowed simultaneous analysis of the two mixtures of the separately derivatized carbohydrates without any interference. This new approach uses the M-4AB dextran ladder derivatives as internal standards spanning the whole chromatogram, allowing an accurate and detailed comparison of glycosylation profiles. It also saves much time by avoiding the necessity of "sandwiching" an unknown glycan mixture between two Chromatographic runs of a dextran ladder. The use of this technique has been demonstrated in the case of glycans released from ribonuclease B and human IgG.

Acridonylalanine (Acd) is a useful fluorophore for studying proteins by fluorescence spectroscopy, but it can potentially be improved by being made longer wavelength or brighter. Here, we report the synthesis of Acd core derivatives and their photophysical characterization. We also performed ab initio calculations of the absorption and emission spectra of Acd derivatives, which agree well with experimental measurements. The amino acid aminoacridonylalanine (Aad) was synthesized in forms appropriate for genetic incorporation and peptide synthesis. We show that Aad is a superior F?rster resonance energy transfer acceptor to Acd in a peptide cleavage assay and that Aad can be activated by an aminoacyl tRNA synthetase for genetic incorporation. Together, these results show that we can use computation to design enhanced Acd derivatives, which can be used in peptides and proteins.

A set of 9-thioalkylacridinones, has been prepared and investigated' in vitro' against T. cruzi. Structure-antiparasitic activity relationships are detailed with a view to identify the major structural parameters for the activity under consideration.
