چکیده

OBJECTIVES This study aimed at measuring the lipophilicity and ionization constants of diastereoisomeric dipeptides, interpreting them in terms of conformational behavior, and developing statistical models to predict them. METHODS A series of 20 dipeptides of general structure NH(2)-L-X-(L or D)-His-OMe was designed and synthetized. Their experimental ionization constants (pK(1), pK(2) and pK(3)) and lipophilicity parameters (log P(N) and log D(7.4)) were measured by potentiometry. Molecular modeling in three media (vacuum, water, and chloroform) was used to explore and sample their conformational space, and for each stored conformer to calculate their radius of gyration, virtual log P (preferably written as log P(MLP), meaning obtained by the molecular lipophilicity potential (MLP) method) and polar surface area (PSA). Means and ranges were calculated for these properties, as was their sensitivity (i.e., the ratio between property range and number of rotatable bonds). RESULTS Marked differences between diastereoisomers were seen in their experimental ionization constants and lipophilicity parameters. These differences are explained by molecular flexibility, configuration-dependent differences in intramolecular interactions, and accessibility of functional groups. Multiple linear equations correlated experimental lipophilicity parameters and ionization constants with PSA range and other calculated parameters. CONCLUSION This study documents the differences in lipophilicity and ionization constants between diastereoisomeric dipeptides. Such configuration-dependent differences are shown to depend markedly on differences in conformational behavior and to be amenable to multiple linear regression.

Exploring the space of histidine containing dipeptides in search of novel efficient RCS sequestering agents.

The study reports a set of forty proteinogenic histidine-containing dipeptides as potential carbonyl quenchers. The peptides were chosen to cover as exhaustively as possible the accessible chemical space, and their quenching activities toward 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) and pyridoxal were evaluated by HPLC analyses. The peptides were capped at the C-terminus as methyl esters or amides to favor th...

Discrimination Between Diastereoisomeric Dipeptides by IR–UV Double Resonance Spectroscopy and Ab Initio Calculations

We studied diastereoisomeric dipeptides, containing two chiral centers, by comparing ab initio calculations with laser desorption jet-cooling experiments. We studied the hetero-dipeptides LL–VF (L-Val-L-Phe) and DL–VF and the homo-dipeptides LL–FF (L-Phe-L-Phe) and LD–FF. Changing one of the chiral centers in each molecule leads to changes in the spectra that can be used to distinguish between ...

OBJECTIVE Muscle carnosine and its methylated form anserine are histidine-containing dipeptides. Both dipeptides have the ability to quench reactive carbonyl species and previous studies have shown that endogenous tissue levels are decreased in chronic diseases, such as diabetes. DESIGN AND METHODS Rodent study: Skeletal muscles of rats and mice were collected from 4 different diet-interventi...

Biological functions of histidine-dipeptides and metabolic syndrome

The rapid increase in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome, which is associated with a state of elevated systemic oxidative stress and inflammation, is expected to cause future increases in the prevalence of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids and sugars produces reactive carbonyl species, which, due to their electrophilic nature, react with the nucleo...
