A series of 44 dipeptide nitriles with various amino acids at the P2 position and glycine nitrile at position P1 were prepared and evaluated as inhibitors of cysteine proteinases. With respect to the important contribution of the P2-S2 interaction to the formation of enzyme-inhibitor complexes, it was focused to introduce structural diversity into the P2 side chain. Nonproteinogenic amino acids...

NR1/NR2A is a subtype of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs), which are glutamate and glycine-gated Ca(2+)-permeable channels highly expressed in the central nervous system. A high-throughput screening (HTS) campaign using human osteosarcoma (U-2 OS) cells transiently transduced with NR1/NR2A NMDAR subunits, tested in a specifically designed fluorometric imaging plate reader (FLIPR)/Ca(2+) ...

Okuda, Kiyoshi (Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, University of Hawaii, Honolulu), Gordon C. Edwards, and Theodore Winnick. Biosynthesis of gramicidin and tyrocidine in the Dubos strain of Bacillus brevis. I. Experiments with growing cultures. J. Bacteriol. 85:329-338. 1963.-A simple chromatographic method was developed for the isolation of gramicidin and tyrocidine from tyrothricin of...

Peptides in the blood of subjects before and after collagen hydrolysate ingestion were fractionated by ion exchange and size-exclusion chromatographies and then derivatised with phenyl isothiocyanate. The derivatives were characterised by reserved phase (RP)-HPLC. Prolyl-hydroxyproline (Pro-Hyp), which has been identified in the previous studies, was detected as a major food-derived collagen pe...

objectives: the aim of this research was the development of 111in-labeled porphyrins as possible radiopharmaceuticals for the imaging of tumors. methods: ligands, 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis (3, 5-dihydroxyphenyl) porphyrin) (tdhpp), 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis (4-hydroxyphenyl) porphyrin (thpp) and 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis (3,4-dimethoxyphenyl) porphyrin) (tdmpp) were labeled with 111incl3 (produced from ...

We report polymeric nanomicelles doped with organic fluorophores (StCN, (Z)-2,3-bis[4-(N-4-(diphenylamino)styryl)phenyl]-acrylonitrile), which have the property of aggregation-enhanced fluorescence. The fluorescent nanomicelles have two unique features: (1) They give much brighter fluorescence emission than mono-fluorophores. (2) The nanomicelles with amphiphilic copolymers [e.g., phospholipids...

Abstract. Biotransformations are chemical reactions carried out by microorganisms on organic substrates. can be regio-, chemo-, stereo- and enantio-selective. Bioreductions of great interest to the food pharmaceutical industries as they help reduce costs impacts environment. In this work, following biotransformations chalcones were performed: (2E)-1-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)-3-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-prop-...

the seasonal variation of volatile oil compositions (vocs) from fresh flowers of persian musk rose was investigated by combi pal headspace techniques. in this study, a total number of 21 vocs were detected by headspace on the combi pal system and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (hs-gc/ms) from rosa moschata herrm. at different seasons which was representing 92.53-99.37% of total vocs. the ...

The process of complexation molybdenum (V) with 1-phenyl-2,3-dimethylpyrazolin-5-thione in a 4 mol/l HCI medium the temperature range 273-338 K was studied by potentiometric method. It has been shown that reduced form molecule is involved complex formation reaction. Using data studies, change energy value (ΔE) (NH ) 2 [MoOCI 5 ] -1-phenyl-2,3-dimethylpyrazolin-5-thione-4 HCl system, equilibrium...
