Liposome Enhanced Detection of Amyloid Protein Aggregates

Thioflavin-T is used to image amyloid aggregates because of the excellent turn-on fluorescence properties, but binding affinities are low. By mounting multiple dye units on the surface of a vesicle, the binding affinity for α-synuclein fibrils is increased by three orders of magnitude, and the optical response is increased. Cooperative interactions of the dye headgroup and lipid with the protein provide a general strategy for the construction of multivalent amyloid probes based on vesicles.

Alkylglycerols (AKGs) are bioactive natural compounds that vary by alkyl chain length and degree of unsaturation, and their absolute configuration is 2S. Three AKGs (5l–5n) were synthesised in enantiomerically pure form, and were characterised for the first time together with 12 other known and naturally occurring AKGs (5a–5k, 5o). Their structures were established using 1H and 13C APT NMR with 2D-NMR, ESI-MS or HRESI-MS and optical rotation data, and they were tested for their antibacterial and antibiofilm activities. AKGs 5a–5m and 5o showed activity against five clinical isolates and P. aeruginosa ATCC 15442, with MIC values in the range of 15–125 μg/mL. In addition, at half of the MIC, most of the AKGs reduced S. aureus biofilm formation in the range of 23%–99% and P. aeruginosa ATCC 15442 biofilm formation in the range of 14%–64%. The antibiofilm activity of the AKGs assessed in this work had not previously been studied.

Myrmekioside A, which was isolated from the marine sponge Myrmekioderma sp. as a member of the family of natural mono-O-alkyl-diglycosylglycerols, and which has a strong reversion effect on the tumor cell morphology of ras-transformed cells at 5 μg/mL, wa
