This drug should possess neurotrophic activity and not affect the immune system. Based on the crystal structure of FKBP12, FK506 and Calcineurin complex, a series of small organic molecules were designed. These molecules were to have the ability of binding to FKBP12 in a virtual screening. By using a solution parallel synthetic method, these compounds were synthesized. The neuroprotective and neuroregenerative activities of these compounds were evaluated by binding assays, PC12 cells survival and neurite outgrowth model, chick dorsal root ganglion cultures (DRG) and 6-OHDA lesioned mice sympathetic nerve endings model. The evaluation results of these compounds showed that compound N308 has great promise as a candidate for a neuroprotective and neuroregenerative agent.展开更多

One of them is the appearance of <em>N</em>-malonyltryptophan (MT) during leaf wilting of many species, but there is a significant number of plant species in which the appearance of MT did not occur. Plants of some species were able to synthesize also <em>N</em>-acetyltryptophan (AT). Excised tomato leaves incubated with D-amino acids (including D-Trp) transform them into malonyl- and acetyl-derivatives even without water deficit. However, MT which appeared during water deficit has been shown to contain L-Trp. Amino acid—1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) is also malonylated during water deficit, but other L-amino acids were not malonylated. <em>N</em>-malonyl transferases specific for Trp and ACC have been found in several plants. The existence of <em>N</em>-malonyltransferase specific to L-Trp and appeared during water deficit in plants forming MT is supposed, but clear experimental proof has not been obtained yet. Plants can transform MT applied exogenously into Trp and further to indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). But no evidence has been appeared up to now that endogenous MT may be a source of IAA. It is unknown till now why it is necessary for plants of many species to malonylate only Trp during water deficit. How MT metabolized in animals and if it affects them is also unknown. The necessity to use molecular-genetic approaches for the elucidation of the physiological significance of MT formation during water deficit is underlined.展开更多

Racemic and scalemic mixtures of these enantiomers were separated by HPLC on a chiral semi-preparative column.Their structures including absolute configurations were determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis in conjunction with the calculation of electronic circular dichroism(ECD) spectra. The enantiomer pairs possess parent structures of 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-4-carboxylic acid, indolo[2,1-b]quinazolinone, and 3-thioxohexahydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazol-1-one, respectively. Except for phaitanthrin A[(—)-2] which the configuration was previously undetermined, these compounds are new enantiomeric natural products.展开更多
