The invention relates to a method of removing 3-deoxyglucosone and other alpha-dicarbonyl sugars from skin. The invention further relates to methods of inhibiting production and function of 3-deoxyglucosone and other alpha-dicarbonyl sugars in skin. The invention also relates to methods of treating 3-deoxyglucosone and other alpha-dicarbonyl sugars associated diseases and disorders of skin.
Amino-substituted pyrimidines, derivatives and methods of use therefor
-
, (2008/06/13)
The present invention relates to compositions and methods for inhibiting nonenzymatic cross-linking (protein aging). Accordingly, a composition is disclosed which comprises an agent capable of inhibiting the formation of advanced glycosylation end products of target proteins by reacting with the carbonyl moiety of the early glycosylation product of such target proteins formed by their initial glycosylation. The method comprises contacting the target protein with the composition. Both industrial and therapeutic applications for the invention are envisioned, as food spoilage and animal protein aging can be treated.

Kinetics and product distributions of the hydrolysis of 9-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)purine have been examined over a wide acidity range.At high oxonium ion concentrations rate-limiting departure of the mono- and diprotonated purinyl group with concomitant formation of a glycosyl oxocarbenium ion constitutes the major reaction pathway, analogous to the hydrolysis of 6-substituted purine nucleosides.In slightly acidic solutions opening of the imidazole ring of the base moiety prevails, and 4-amino-5-formamidopyrimidine, formed as a relatively stable intermediate, undergoes further hydrolysis to 4,5-diaminopyrimidine or cyclization to purine, the product composition depending on the acidity of the reaction solution.Rate constants for the partial reactions have been calculated and the mechanisms of the individual steps are discussed.

A few 6-substituted 9-(1-ethoxyethyl)purines have been prepared and the rates of their base-catalyzed hydrolysis were measured by UV spectroscopy.The product mixtures were fractionated by preparative TLC and characterized by NMR and UV spectroscopy.The results obtained suggest that the alkaline cleavage of 9-(1-ethoxyethyl)purines generally proceeds by nucleophilic attack of hydroxide ion on C8 of the purine moiety, resulting in formation of appropriate 4,5-diaminopyrimidine and 8-methylpurine as final products.With 6-methoxy, 6-methylthio, and 6-chloro derivatives nucleophilic attack of hydroxide ion of C6 giving 9-(1-ethoxyethyl)hypoxanthine competes with this reaction.
