- New polyamides based on 1,3-bis(4-carboxy phenoxy) propane and hydantoin derivatives: Synthesis and properties
-
Six new polyamides 5a-f containing flexible trimethylene segments in the main chain were synthesized through the direct polycondensation reaction of 1,3-bis(4-carboxy phenoxy) propane 3 with six derivatives of hydantoins 4a-f in a medium consisting of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, triphenyl phosphite, calcium chloride and pyridine. The polycondensation reaction produced a series of novel polyamides in high yield with inherent viscosities between 0.30-0.47 dL/g. The resulted polymers were fully characterized by means of FT-IR, 1H-NMR spectroscopy, elemental analyses, inherent viscosity, solubility tests and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Thermal properties of these polymers were investigated by using thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal gravimetry (DTG). The glass-transition temperatures of these polyamides were recorded between 130 and 155 °C by differential scanning catorimetry (DSC), and the 5% weight loss temperatures were ranging from 325 to 415 °C under nitrogen. 1,3-bis(4-Carboxy phenoxy) propane 3 was prepared from the reaction of 4-hydroxy benzoic acid 1 with 1,3-dibromo propane 2 in the presence of NaOH solution.

- Synthesis and biological activity of nociceptin/orphanin FQ analogues substituted in position 7 or 11 with Cα,α-dialkylated amino acids
-
Previous structure-activity and NMR studies on nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) demonstrated that Aib substitution of Ala7 and/or Ala11 increases the peptide potency through an alpha helix structure induction mechanism. On these bases we synthesised and evaluated pharmacologically in the mouse vas deferens assay a series of N/OFQ-NH2 analogues substituted in position 7 and 11 with Cα,α-disubstituted cyclic, linear and branched amino acids. None of the 20 novel N/OFQ analogues produced better results than [Aib7]N/OFQ-NH2. Thus, this substitution was combined with other chemical modifications known to modulate peptide potency and/or efficacy generating compound 21 [Nphe1Aib7Arg14Lys15]N/OFQ-NH2 (coded as UFP-111), compound 22 [(pF)Phe4Aib7Arg14Lys15]N/OFQ-NH2 (UFP-112) and compound 23 [Phe1Ψ(CH2-NH)Gly2(pF)Phe4Aib7Arg14Lys15]N/OFQ-NH2 (UFP-113). These novel peptides behaved as highly potent NOP receptor ligands showing full (UFP-112) and partial (UFP-113) agonist and pure antagonist (UFP-111) activities in a series of in vitro functional assays performed on pharmacological preparations expressing native as well as recombinant NOP receptors.

- Peptide Sweeteners. 6. Structural Studies on the C-Terminal Amino Acid of L-Aspartyl Dipeptide Sweeteners
-
Stereochemical and structural aspects of the variations in the C-terminal residue of L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester have been investigated.Novel configurational analogues such as L-aspartyl-D-alanine benzyl ester and L-aspartyl-D-α-aminobutyric acid benzyl ester were found to be sweet.In addition, chiral and achiral α,α-dialkylglycine and α-aminocycloalkanecarboxylic acids were incorporated into the dipeptides.The L-aspartic acid based dipeptide derivatives of α-aminoisobutyric acid methyl ester, α-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid methyl ester, α-aminocyclobutanecarboxylic acid methyl ester, and α-aminocyclopentanecarboxylic acid methyl ester are sweet.Dipeptides with α-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid methyl ester and α-aminocycloheptanecarboxylic acid methyl ester are bitter, whereas the analogues with α-aminocyclooctanecarboxylic acid methyl ester, α,α-diethylglycine methyl ester, and α-aminoisobutyric acid benzyl ester are tasteless.Aspects on chirality and effective volume of the C-terminal residue are discussed and correlated with taste.
