There is an increasing need to develop short self-assembling peptides (SAPs) that can form hydrogels for cell engineering and biomedical applications. In this study, we proposed new short self-assembling peptides with a symmetric structure via a urea bond

Based on computer modeling of the active site of nitric oxide synthases (NOS), a series of 10 amidine compounds (9-18) was designed including potential inhibitors that involve the coordination of side-chain functional groups with the iron of the heme cofactor. The most potent and selective compound was the methylthio amidine analogue 9, which was more potent than l-nitroarginine with 185-fold selectivity for inhibition of neuronal NOS over endothelial NOS. It also exhibited time-dependent inhibition, but did not involve the mechanism previously proposed for other amidine inhibitors of NOS. None of the compounds, however, exhibited heme-binding characteristics according to absorption spectroscopy.

The chemical synthesis of pentosidine (1), an advanced glycation end product, was achieved via the asymmetric alkylation of the chiral schiff base derived from (+)-2-hydroxy-3-pinanone ((+)-HyPN) and glycine tert-butyl ester, the mercury salt mediated intramolecular guanylation, and the regioselective alkylation of imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine ring. This reliable synthetic achievement will promise availability of pentosidine (1) in quantities.
