Neuroprotective action of halogenated derivatives of L-phenylalanine.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The aromatic amino acid L-Phenylalanine (L-Phe) significantly and reversibly depresses excitatory glutamatergic synaptic transmission (GST) via a unique set of presynaptic and postsynaptic mechanisms. Therefore, we hypothesized that endogenous derivatives of L-Phe, which display potent antiglutamatergic activity, may safely and efficaciously protect the brain during condi...
متن کاملSynthesis of d‐ and l‐Phenylalanine Derivatives by Phenylalanine Ammonia Lyases: A Multienzymatic Cascade Process†
The synthesis of substituted d-phenylalanines in high yield and excellent optical purity, starting from inexpensive cinnamic acids, has been achieved with a novel one-pot approach by coupling phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) amination with a chemoenzymatic deracemization (based on stereoselective oxidation and nonselective reduction). A simple high-throughput solid-phase screening method has a...
متن کاملMutagenicity of halogenated olefins and their derivatives
The ability of a series of haloalkanes, haloethanols and haloacetaldehydes to induce mutations in Salmonella typhrimurium and preferentially to inhibit the growth of DNA polymerase-deficient E. coli (pol A(+)/pol A(-)) was investigated. For the haloalkanes investigated, the order of reactivities towards the E. coli pol A(+)/pol A(-), was: 1,1,2,2-tetrabromoethane > 1,1-dibromoethane > 1,1,2,2-t...
متن کاملMechanism of action of toxic halogenated aromatics.
2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and related halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons are a highly toxic class of environmental contaminants, as evidenced by numerous cases of accidental poisonings of human and animal populations and their extreme toxic potency in laboratory animals. The proposed model for the mechanism of action of TCDD and related compounds is analogous to that of the ster...
متن کاملAction of carboxypeptidase on peptide derivatives of L-tryptophan.
It is obviously desirable to extend our knowledge of the specificity of proteolytic enzymes to as wide a variety of substances as possible. Thus far, the carbobenzoxy method of Bergmann and Zervas (1) has not been applied to the synthesis of compounds containing L-tryptophan. In fact, with the exception of the early work of Abderhalden and Kempe (2), and a recent report by Fruton (3), synthetic...
