Amino Acid Derivatives of Per-iodate Oxidized Starch.

Amino derivatives of mannuronic acid.

The widespread occurrence of amino derivatives of the sugars in products of plant and animal origin suggests the possibility that amino derivatives of the uronic acids may likewise be of importance. The uronic acids have the characteristic structures of both aldoses and aldonic acids, and hence, like the aldoses, might be expected to yield glycosyl amines [1] and like the lactones of the aldoni...

Preparation of photoactivable amino acid derivatives.

A range of N-protected-alpha-amino acyl-5,7-dinitroindolines 3a-z were prepared in good yields from commercially available N-protected-alpha-amino acids 1a-z by a two-step sequence of acylation and intramolecular amide N-arylation. Subsequent photochemical acylation of the N-protected-alpha-amino acyl-5,7-dinitroindolines 3e,g,r afforded the corresponding N-protected-alpha-amino acid amides 22e...

Amino acid derivatives with anticonvulsant activity.

A series of benzylamides of N-alkylated, N-acylated or free nine cyclic and one linear amino acids as potential anticonvulsants have been synthesized. The structures of the obtained compounds were designed on the basis of the previously determined structure and physicochemical properties/anticvonvulsant activity relationship of the formerly synthesized compounds of this type. The obtained compo...

Amino Acid and Peptide Immobilization on Oxidized Nanocellulose: Spectroscopic Characterization

In this work, oxidized nanocellulose (ONC) was synthesized and chemically coupled with amino acids and peptides using a two step coupling method at room temperature. First, ONC was activated by N-ethyl-N'-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride, forming a stable active ester in the presence of N-hydroxysuccinimide. Second, the active ester was reacted with the amino group of the amin...
