[1-(1′,3′-Dioxyl-4′,4′,5′, 5′-tetramethyldihydroimidazol-2-yl)-phenyl-4-yl]oxyacetic acid (4), a nitronyl nitroxide, and its peptide derivatives, N-[1-(1′,3′-dioxyl- 4′,4′,5′,5′-tetramethyldihydroimidazol-2-yl) -phenyl-4-yl]oxyacetyl-ARPAK (9a), -GRPAK (9b), and -QRPAK (9c), were synthesized and characterized. Judging from the results of electron spin resonance analysis, the newly synthesized nitronyl nitroxide containing peptides, 9a, 9b, and 9c, demonstrated the characteristics of free radicals. The free radical scavenging activities of 9a, 9b, and 9c were assessed using in vitro free radical scavenging tests. The thrombolysis effect of 9a, 9b, and 9c was evaluated using an euglobulin clot lysis test, a fibrinolytic lysis test, and in vivo thrombolysis tests. Results indicated that these nitronyl nitroxide containing peptides possessed both free radical scavenging activity and thrombolytic activity.

We describe a novel class of β-carboline alkaloid-peptide conjugates that possess both free radical scavenging and thrombolytic activity. These conjugates demonstrate therapeutic efficacy in a rat arterial thrombosis assay, as well as free radical scavenging capacity as evaluated in a PC12 cell survival assay. Our results indicate that β-carboline alkaloid-peptide conjugate 26a exerts a significant protective effect against local and remote organ injury induced by limb I/R injury in the rat.
