One-pot synthesis of cyclic antifreeze glycopeptides.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The first cyclic glycopeptides exhibiting significant antifreeze activity by forming hexagonal-bipyramidal ice crystals, denoted cyclic antifreeze glycopeptides (cyclic AFGPs), were constructed by a one-pot synthesis based on the controlled cyclization reaction of pre-formed small linear glycopeptides.

Antifreeze Peptides and Glycopeptides, and Their Derivatives: Potential Uses in Biotechnology
Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) and glycoproteins (AFGPs), collectively called AF(G)Ps, constitute a diverse class of proteins found in various Arctic and Antarctic fish, as well as in amphibians, plants, and insects. These compounds possess the ability to inhibit the formation of ice and are therefore essential to the survival of many marine teleost fishes that routinely encounter sub-zero temperat...
متن کاملOne-pot synthesis of ferrocene-containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives from N-isocyaniminotriphenylphosphorane (Ph3PNNC), cyclic ketones and ferrocene carboxylic acid
Reactions of N-isocyaniminotriphenylphosphorane with a cyclic ketone in the presence of ferrocene carboxylic acid proceeded smoothly at room temperature and in neutral conditions to afford ferrocene-containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives in high yields. The reaction proceeded smoothly and cleanly under mild conditions and no side reactions were observed. The structures of the products were ded...
متن کاملAntifreeze glycopeptide diastereomers
Antifreeze glycopeptides (AFGPs) are a special class of biological antifreeze agents, which possess the property to inhibit ice growth in the body fluids of arctic and antarctic fish and, thus, enable life under these harsh conditions. AFGPs are composed of 4-55 tripeptide units -Ala-Ala-Thr- glycosylated at the threonine side chains. Despite the structural homology among all the fish species, ...

Very little is known about the mechanism of antifreeze action of antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGPs) present in Antarctic teleost fish. Recent NMR and CD studies assisted with total synthesis of synthetic AFGP variants have provided insight into the structure of short AFGP glycopeptides, though the observations did not yield information on the antifreeze mechanism of action. In this study, we use ...
متن کاملAntifreeze glycoproteins from Arctic fish.
Four species of fish in the Barents Sea of the Arctic, north of Norway and Russia, were caught and examined for the presence of antifreeze proteins in their blood sera. Only one species of Arctic fish, the polar cod (Boreogadus saida), was found to contain an antifreeze protein. Antifreeze glycoproteins were isolated and characterized from the blood serum of the Arctic fish, and their structure...
