چکیده
ÐSeveral RGD peptidomimetics have been prepared, in a convergent way, from the common ortho-aminotyrosine template (O-substituted with an anchorage-arm or a methyl group, and aN-substituted with a ̄uorine tag for XPS analysis), and various o-aminoacid derivatives. The most ̄exible compounds have shown a biological activity similar to that of the peptide reference (RGDS) in the platelet aggregation test. The compound 16a could be ®tted (by modelisation) with DMP 728 and c(RGDfV), two cyclic peptides that are good ligands of integrins. The compound 16b has been covalently ®xed on the surface of a poly(ethylene terephthalate) membrane used as support for mammalian cell cultivation. # 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

ÐThe theory of absolute reaction rates suggests that enzymes, like other catalysts, can enhance the rate of a reaction only to the extent that they bind the altered substrate in the transition state (S{) more tightly than they bind the substrate in the ground state (S). ES dissociation constants commonly fall in the physiological range, but recent kinetic studies indicate that formal ES{ dissoc...

ÐN-Benzoyloxy-2-thiopyridone (12) was shown to induce single-strand nicks in duplex DNA upon irradiation with visible light (l&350 nm). This ®nding led to the design of a series of compounds, in which an acridinyl nucleus was covalently linked to the N-benzoyloxy-2-thiopyridone unit. These conjugates (15, 16, 17 and 18) were synthesized and evaluated as novel DNA photocleaving reagents. Optimal...

-Philanthotoxins are noncompetitive inhibitors of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and the various glutamate r<.~ceptors. Analogues carrying photoaffinity labels, fluorine atoms for solid-state NMR studies of ligand/receptor interaction, and large head groups such as porphyrins and planar bulky aromatic rings (BIG analogues) for clarifying mode of entry and orientation of analogues in recep...

ÐAllatostatins are 6±18 amino acid peptides synthezed by insects to control production of juvenile hormones, which in turn regulate functions including metamorphosis and egg production. Four insect allatostatin neuropeptide analogues incorporating turn-promoting pseudopeptide moieties in the region responsible for biological activity were prepared by solid phase peptide synthetic methods. Bioas...

Ðb-Carboline-benzoquinolizidine plant alkaloid deoxytubulosine (DTB) was evaluated and assessed for the ®rst time for its biochemical and biological activity employing the biomarker dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) (5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate: NADP oxidoreductase, EC 1.5.1.3) as the probe enzyme, a key target in cancer chemotherapy. DHFR, employed in the present investigations was puri®ed from Lact...
