Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating age-dependent neurodegenerative disorder. The main hallmarks are impairment of cholinergic system and accumulation in brain of beta-amyloid (Aβ) aggregates, which have been associated with oxidative damage and dyshomeostasis of redox-active biometals. The absence of an efficient treatment that could delay or cure AD has been attributed to the complexity and multifactorial nature of this disease. With this in mind and the recent interest on natural-based drugs, we have explored a set of natural-based hybrid compounds by conjugation of a tacrine moiety with an S-allylcysteine (garlic constituent) or S-propargylcysteine moiety aimed at improving the cholinergic system and neuroprotective capacity. The docking modeling studies allowed the selection of linkers to optimize the bimodal drug interaction with acetylcholinesterase enzyme (AChE) active site. The compounds were evaluated for some representative biological properties, including AChE activity and Aβ aggregation inhibition, as well as for their neuroprotective activity to Aβ- and ROS-induced cellular toxicity.

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.

Three dipeptides bearing alkynes on their side chains (9 (derived from dilysine), 14 (derived from dicysteine) and 17 (derived from diglycine)) were prepared and reacted with W(CO)3(dmtc)2 [dmtc = dimethyldithiocarbamate] to afford, respectively, three metallacyclicpeptides, 18, 19 and 20. The metallacyclicpeptides were characterized by HPLC, ES-MS, and 1H NMR. The conformational behavior of the alkynes about the tungsten center was assessed using 1H NMR. It was found that all three metallacyclicpeptides adopt multiple conformations of the alkynes relative to the tungsten. Both 18 and 19 appear to adopt all 8 possible conformations, while 20 adopts a limited number of conformations. The ability of the alkynes to equilibrate between the syn and anti conformations was assessed by examining the alkyne hydrogen resonances using variable temperature 1H NMR. It was found that the alkyne ligands in 18 and 19 will equilibrate between the syn and anti conformations. The alkyne hydrogen resonances in 18 coalesce to one signal around 343 K, while the alkyne hydrogen resonances in 19 do not completely coalesce even by 360 K. Complex 18 has a larger ring than complex 19, and the higher temperature of coalescence for 19 is attributed to its smaller ring size. In contrast, complex 20, which has the smallest ring size, cannot equilibrate between the syn and anti conformations, even at elevated temperatures. The results show that cyclic tungsten-bis(alkyne) complexes will form ring systems with ring sizes of approximately 10 atoms, that ring sizes of approximately 10 atoms are rigid, and that rigidity is lost as the ring size is increased.

Specificity of lysine: N6-hydroxylase: A hypothesis for a reactive substrate intermediate in the catalytic mechanism
Marrone,Siemann,Beecroft,Viswanatha
, p. 401 - 416 (2007/10/03)
The recombinant cytoplasmic preparation of lysine: N6-hydroxylase catalyzes the conversion of L-lysine to its N6-hydroxy derivative when supplemented with the cofactors NADPH and FAD. A number of lysine analogs reflecting minor alterations in the inherent structural features of the amino acid as well compounds with relatively high affinity for lysine binding domains in other proteins were examined for their ability to serve as substrates of lysine: N6-hydroxylase. These studies have revealed that the enzyme does not tolerate any change in the structural features of L-lysine, its preferred substrate, with the exception of the replacement of the C(γ)H2-methylene group by sulfur, as in (S)-2-aminoethyl-L-cysteine. L-Norleucine is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme while L-norvaline and L-α-aminobutyric acid do not exhibit such effect, indicating the importance of a C4 hydrophobic side chain for effective interaction with the enzyme. Among the N-alkyl amides of hydrophobic amino acids, only L-norleucine methylamide and L-α-aminobutyric acid ethylamide serve as moderate inhibitors of lysine: N6-hydroxylase. Based on the enzyme's stringent substrate specificity, a mechanism involving the conversion of L-lysine to 2-aminocaprolactam prior to its oxygenation by the 4α-peroxyflavin intermediate in the catalytic cycle is proposed.
