Incorporation of structurally novel noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) into proteins is valuable for both scientific and biomedical applications. To expand the structural diversity of available ncAAs and to reduce the burden of chemically synthesizing them, we have developed a general and simple biosynthetic method for genetically encoding novel ncAAs into recombinant proteins by feeding cells with economical commercially available or synthetically accessible aromatic thiols. We demonstrate that nearly 50 ncAAs with a diverse array of structures can be biosynthesized from these simple small-molecule precursors by hijacking the cysteine biosynthetic enzymes, and the resulting ncAAs can subsequently be incorporated into proteins via an expanded genetic code. Moreover, we demonstrate that bioorthogonal reactive groups such as aromatic azides and aromatic ketones can be incorporated into green fluorescent protein or a therapeutic antibody with high yields, allowing for subsequent chemical conjugation.

Paragraph 0113-0115, (2020/08/18)
The invention belongs to the field of chemical pharmacy, and relates to active ingredient tanshinol and H in Chinese herbal medicine Salvia miltiorrhiza. 2 S/NO Donors and its preparation method and use in pharmacy, especially in the preparation of medicines for preventing and treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and inflammation related diseases. To the invention, through in-vitro oxidative stress injury and inflammation model experiments, the results show that H is obviously inhibited. 2 O2 In vivo activity experiment results show that the conjugate is capable of remarkably inhibiting the release of inflammatory cytokines induced by LPS (LPS), reducing inflammation-induced mouse peritoneal macrophages, obviously inhibiting the release of inflammatory cytokines induced by LPS, and showing the result that the compound can be used for preparing drugs for preventing and treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and inflammatory diseases.

A series of S-allyl-L-cysteine (SAC) with garlic acid conjugates as anti-inflammatory agents were designed and synthesized. Among the 40 tested compounds, SMU-8c exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity to Pam3CSK4-induced nitric oxide (NO) in RAW264.7 macrophages with IC50 of 22.54 ± 2.60 μM. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) study suggested that the esterified carboxyl group, carbon chain extension and methoxylation phenol hydroxy could improve the anti-inflammatory efficacy. Preliminary anti-inflammatory mechanism studies showed that SMU-8c significantly down-regulated the levels of Pam3CSK4 triggered TNF-α cytokine in human THP-1 cells, mouse RAW 264.7 macrophages, as well as in ex-vivo human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with no influence on cell viability. SMU-8c specifically blocked the Pam3CSK4 ignited secreted embryonic alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) signaling with no influence to Poly I:C or LPS triggered TLR3 or TLR4 signaling. Moreover, SMU-8c suppressed TLR2 in HEK-Blue hTLR2 cells and inhibited the formation of TLR1-TLR2, and TLR2-TLR6 complex in human PBMC. In summary, SMU-8c inhibited the TLR2 signaling pathway to down-regulate the inflammation cytokines, such as NO, SEAP and TNF-α, to realize its anti-inflammatory activity.
