Abstract—: The peptides Boc-Gly-Pro-DP, Z-Gly-Pro-DP, LA-Gly-Pro-DP, Boc-Gly-Pro-Srt, Z-Gly-Pro-Srt have been synthesized for the first time. The study of their stability in the presence of leucine aminopeptidase, carboxypeptidase Y, carboxypeptidase B, and proline endopeptidase (PEP) has shown that the synthesized peptides are stable in the presence of aminopeptidases and carboxypeptidases. In the presence of PEP, dopamine (DP) and serotonin (Srt) have been cleaved from these substances. Thus, the originally synthesized proline derivatives of Srt and DP may be considered as the resources, from which Srt and DP can be gradually released. This creates the possibility of a prolonged action of these biologically active compounds on cells and, consequently, on the whole body.
Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of side chain modified glutamic acid analogues of the neuroprotective agent glycyl-L-prolyl-L-glutamic acid (GPE)

, p. 519 - 532 (2007/10/03)
The synthesis of eight GPE* analogues, wherein the γ-carboxylic moiety of the glutamic residue has been modified, is described by coupling readily accessible N-benzyloxycarbonyl-glycyl-l-proline 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.

, p. 501 - 517 (2007/10/03)
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.

A chemical model is described for the activation of the carbon-centred radical-based enzyme, pyruvate-formate-lyase.The feasibility of a 5'-deoxyadensyl radical abstracting a hydrigen atom from C-2 of a peptideglycine residue has been demonstrated in an intramolecular process.
