DIPEPTIDE MIMETICS OF NGF AND BDNF NEUROTROPHINS
-
Paragraph 0101; 0102, (2019/04/16)
The invention relates to compounds having either agonist or antagonist activities for the neurotrophins NGF and BDNF and represented by monomeric or dimeric substituted dipeptides that are analogs of the exposed portions of loop 1 or loop 4 regions of these neurotrophins near or at a beta-turn of the respective loop. N-acylated substituents of these dipeptides are biostereoisomers of the amino acid residues preceding these dipeptide sequences in the neurotrophin primary structure. The dimeric structure is produced advantageously by using hexatnethylenediaanine to which dipeptides are attached via their carboxyl groups. The claimed compounds displayed neuroprotective and differentiation-inducing activities in cellular models and enhanced the amount of phosphorylated tyrosine kinase A and the heat shock proteins Hsp32 and Hsp70 in the concentration range of 10 -9 to 10 -5 M. They also displayed neuroprotective, anti-parkinsonian, anti-stroke, anti-ischemic, anti-depressant and anti-amnestic activities in animal models and were active in experimental models of Alzheimer's disease. These in vivo effects of the claimed compounds are displayed in the dose range of 0.01 to 10 mg/kg when administered intraperitoneally.

Four macrocyclic bis(pyrrolidino)fullerene regioisomers with e-edge, e-face, trans-4 and cis-2 addition patterns were synthesized from the corresponding monoadduct by Prato's cycloaddition in a yield of 50%, and fully characterized by spectroscopic techniques. Bisadduct regioisomers were isolated easily in a pure form using dry-flash column chromatography. The relative ratio of the isolated regioisomers e-edge/e-face/trans-4/cis-2 was 1.0:1.9:1.5:4.9. Morphology of self-assembled structures of the four bisadduct regioisomers in solution was characterized using scanning electron microscopy.

A systematic understanding of gelation self-assembly: solvophobically assisted supramolecular gelation via conformational reorientation across amide functionality on a hydrophobically modulated dipeptide based ambidextrous gelator, N-n-acyl-(l)Val-X(OBn), (X = 1,ω-amino acid)

A systematic investigation on gelation self-assembly has been performed on a hydrophobically modulated dipeptide based ambidextrous gelator, N-n-acyl-(l)Val-X(OBn), (X = 1,ω-amino acid). To elucidate the effect of hydrophobic tuning on gelator architecture towards its gelation self-assembly, three sets of gelators with a common formula: CmH2m+1C(=O)NH(l)Val(C=O)NH-(CH2)n-(C=O)OBn, were synthesized, Set-I includes gelators with n = 2, m = 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, for Set-II it is n = 2, 3, 5, m = 13 and Set-III comprises of two isomeric gelators (n = 2, m = 15; n = 10, m = 7). Gelation has been critically analyzed in various apolar (aromatic and aliphatic) and polar (protic and aprotic) solvents using FESEM, CD, IR, WAXRD and rheological studies. Obtained results reveal that π-π type interaction dictates the primary molecular alignment and positioning of amide functionality across the aliphatic chain which influences the peptidic orientation in parallel (when m > n) or antiparallel (when m gel and yield stress of gel systems increases with m, but for a given m, the trend goes apparently inverse with the increasing n. Circular dichroism (CD) studies suggest an intriguing evidence of non-planarity of amide plane during self-assembly, highlighting the involvement of conformational change taking place during molecular organization towards its gelation. Despite complex nature of solvent-gelator interaction, the effect of H-bonding component of solubility parameters was found to have a significant role on self-assembly. Overall, supramolecular forces acting at specific functionalities encrypted in gelator backbone must overcome the solvation energy with synergic assistance of solvophobic effect towards stabilization of gel-network with optimum gelator backbone conformation for achieving required enthalpic contribution for self-assembly.

We have previously reported that a double-chain anionic amphiphile capable of intermolecular triple hydrogen bonds could form extremely hydrophobic sites in water and specifically incorporated stilbazolium-based compact hemicyanine dyes as monomeric species, resulting in induction of intense fluorescence emission in the dyes. In this paper, the structural requirements of the intense fluorescence-inducing amphiphiles were investigated. It is noted that the introduction of β-Ala residues into two long-chain alkyl group moieties was most effective for the amphiphiles derived from L-glutamic acid with relatively shorter side-chain methylenes. The dye specificity in terms of induction of the intense fluorescence was also investigated using hemicyanines (stilbazolium etc.), cyanine, carbocyanine, thiacarbocyanines, and azo dye. The amphiphile with the shortest octanoyl-β-alanyl double-chain alkyl groups, longer side-chain, and shorter spacer was found to show increased sensitivity to alkali metal ions, especially Li+. This could be a potential OFF-ON type fluorescence sensor for Li+. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2009.

The synthesis of nine GPE* analogues, wherein the α-carboxylic acid group of glutamic acid has been modified, is described by coupling readily accessible N-benzyloxycarbonyl-glycyl-l-proline 2 with various analogues of glutamic acid. Pharmacological evaluation of the novel compounds was undertaken to further understand the role of the glutamate residue on the observed neuroprotective properties of the endogenous tripeptide GPE.

The first synthesis of siderophore conjugates of two macrolide antibiotics, spiramycin 1 and neospiramycin 2, which are unable to penetrate the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria are described. These novel conjugates were prepared by regioselective acylation of a hydroxyl function of 1 and 2 with a dihydroxybenzoic Fe(III) complexing ligand linked via a carboxyl group containing spacer to the macrolide antibiotics. The preliminary biological evaluation of these novel conjugates under standard and iron depleted conditions has shown that their antibacterial activity was comparable to that of spiramycin 1 and neospiramycin 2.
