Picric acid forms stable picrates with various organic molecules through π- bonding or ionic bonding, and such picrates have been very useful for identification and qualitative analysis. As it seemed desirable to determine the crystal structures and the bonding mode of picrates of basic organic compounds, we have investigated the crystal structures of aromatic hydrocarbons, aromatic amino compounds, heterocyclic compounds and so on. A series of our studies on the crystal structure of basic organic compounds have shown that the complexes of picric acid and aromatic hydrocarbons are formed through π-bonding, and those of aromatic heterocyclic compounds are formed through ionic and hydrogen bonding; in addition, some of them also have π-bonding.

The stability, degradation pattern and structure of degradation products of sodium 7-[D (-)-α-(4-ethyl-2, 3-dioxo-1-piperazinecarboxamido)-α-(4-hydroxyphenyl) acetamido]-3-[(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl) thiomethyl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (T-1551) in aqueous solution were investigated. T-1551 was kept in various solutions in pH and μ=0.5 at 35°, its degradation was followed by HPLC. T-1551 was stable at the range of pH 4.0-7.0, slightly unstable at acid and markedly unstable at alkaline. It was confirmed that in alkaline solution, 7-[D (-)-α-[3-[2-(N-ethyl-N-oxaloamino)-ethyl] ureido]-α-(4-hydroxyphenyl) acetamido]-3-(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl) thiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (T-1551A) was produced, and that in acidic solution, 7-[D (-)-α-(4-ethyl-2, 3-dioxo-1-piperazinecarboxamido)-α-(4-hydroxyphenyl) acetamido]-3-hydroxy-methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid γ-lactone (T-1551B), 7-[D (-)-α-(4-ethyl-2, 3-dioxo-1-piperazinecarboxamido)-α-(4-hydroxyphenyl) acetamido]-3-hydroxymethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (T-1551C), 5-mercapto-1-methyl-1H-tetrazole (T-1551F), 2-[2-(4-ethyl-2, 3-dioxo-1-piperazinecarboxamido)-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl) acetamido]-2-[1, 2, 5, 7-tetrahydro-7-oxo-4H-furo [3, 4-d] [1, 3] thiazin-2-yl] acetic acid (T-1551G), 2-[α-(4-ethyl-2, 3-dioxo-1-piperazinecarboxamido)-α-(4-hydroxyphenyl) acetamidomethyl]-2, 3-dihydro-5-hydroxy-methyl-6H-thiazine-4-carboxylic acid γ-lactone (T-1551H) and N-formylmethyl-D-(-)-α-(4-ethyl-2, 3-dioxo-1-piperazinecarboxamido)-α-(4-hydroxyphenyl) acetamide (T-1551D) were produced, respectively.

Interactions between bio-macromolecules such as proteins, DNA, and polysaccharides play pivotal roles in maintaining homeostasis in living systems. For elucidating the function of biomolecules, peptides are powerful tools, compared to native proteins, because of their lower molecular weights, compatibility with chemical modification, and predictability of interaction with the target molecules. These advantages enabled us to develop peptide-based functional molecules. However, for the purposes of controlling or regulating biomolecule functions, designing artificial proteins is also an effective approach. Not only rational protein design, but also directed molecular evolution, are now regarded as powerful methods for optimizing protein function. The interactions of proteins with bio-macromolecules are usually highly specific and show high affinity because of larger interaction surfaces as compared to small molecules or peptides. Thus, the use of proteins for designing biofunctional molecules is also important for wider applications in the biotechnology field. In this review, four topics will be discussed: 1) the development of fluorescently-labeled ligands for G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), as well as bivalent ligands for GPCR imaging and function analysis, 2) the design and synthesis of gp41 trimer mimics as HIV-1 inhibitors or vaccines, 3) the development of a ZIP tag-probe system and its application to intracellular protein imaging, and 4) the functional analysis of sequence-specific DNA recombinase for expanding the scope of genome editing. The results of these studies indicate the importance of precision in the design of peptides or proteins for regulating bio-macromolecular interactions.

In order to obtain 2, 6-dicyano-7-ethoxycarbonyl-1, 5-dioxo-1, 2, 3, 5-tetrahydroindolizine as an intermediate for the synthesis of camptothecin, Michael condensation of methyl 3-cyano-4-ethoxycarbonyl-1, 2-dihydro-2-oxopyridine-6-carboxylate (V) with acrylonitrile was carried out but failed to afford the objective substance. A similar condensation of V with t-butyl acrylate also resulted in failure. Ethyl 5-cyano-4-ethoxycarbonyl-5-oxo1, 6-dihydro-2-pyridine glyoxylate (VIII) was synthesized by the reaction of 3-cyano-4-ethoxycarbonyl-1, 2-dihydro-2-oxopyridine-6-carboxylic acid chloride with ethyl t-butylmalonate. Although cyclization of VIII to ethyl 6-cyano-1, 2, 3, 5-tetrahydro-1, 3, 5-trioxo-7-indolizine carboxylate (IX) was unsuccessful, Friedlander reaction of VIII with 2-aminobenzaldehyde gave the expected 8-cyano-7-ethoxycarbonyl-9, 11-dihydro-9, 11-dioxoindolizino[1, 2-b]quinoline (X) in one step.

Effects of maltitol and mannitol on the gastrointestinal absorption of acetaminophen, sulfisoxazole and riboflavine in mice were investigated. When drugs were orally administered with maltitol or mannitol, and 2 hr after maltitol or mannitol was orally given in mice (in diarrhea), the blood levels of drugs became lower than that in the control, and drug absorption was inhibited. It was suggested that these results were not caused by molecular interaction between drugs and sugar alcohols, but by the action of maltitol and mannitol which accelerated small intestinal motility, secretion and vascular permeability in the intestinal membrane. These changes may be mediated by biogenic amine, serotonin, histamine and polyamines in the small intestine.

Considering the pharmacological effects of chiral drugs, enantiopure drugs may differ from their racemic mixture formulation in efficacy, potency, or adverse effects. Levomethorphan (LVM) and Dextromethorphan (DXM) act on the central nervous system and exhibit different pharmacological features. LVM, the l-stereoisomer of methorphan, shows many similarities to opiates such as heroin, morphine and codeine, including the potential for addiction, while the d-stereoisomer, DXM, does not have the same opioid effect. In the present study, NMR-based metabolomics were performed on the urine of rats treated with these stereoisomers, and showed significant differences in metabolic profiles. In urine within 24 h after treatment of these samples, levels of citrate, 2-oxoglutarate, creatine, and dimethylglycine were higher in LVM-treated rats than in DXM-treated rats. While urinary levels of hippurate and creatinine gradually increased over 72 h in DXM-treated rats, these metabolites were decreased in the urine by 48-72 h after treatment with LVM. The levels of these changed metabolites may provide the first evidence for different cellular responses to the metabolism of stereoisomers.

A vesicle is a compartment composed of lipid bilayer of amphiphilic molecules. The vesicle is applied to carriers of drugs, cosmetics and functional food ingredients in industries. Vesicles are also applied as a model for artificial cell membrane and expected as micro- and nano-reactors. They are generally prepared by the hydration of dry lipid film, but there is no method to prepare vesicles of a controlled size and high entrapment yield of hydrophilic materials inside them. In this article, a microchannel (MC) emulsification method was applied to prepare vesicles aimed at controlling the size and improving the entrapment yield. Firstly, monodisperse water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions were prepared by the MC emulsification method. In this process, hydrophilic materials to be entrapped were contained inside the water droplets of the emulsions. Keeping the water droplets frozen, the emulsifier was replaced by a bilayer-forming lipid mixture, and then the oil phase was evaporated. After hydration of lipid layers surrounding the water droplets, vesicles were formed. We call this preparation “lipid-coated ice droplet hydration method”. The final sizes of the prepared vesicles were comparable to the original emulsion droplet sizes. This means that the size of vesicles can be controlled by controlling the size of original water droplets of the W/O emulsions. Furthermore, calcein as a hydrophilic fluorescent marker and biopolymers, such as enzyme and polysaccharide, were entrapped into the internal water phases of vesicles. The method proposed in this study enables the formation of vesicles with a controlled size and high entrapment yields, potentially useful for expanding the application fields of vesicles as biocompatible carriers and micro- and nano-reactors for biochemical reactions.

In this study, we took continuous measurements of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and conducted lifestyle checks in three cases to determine if these parameters were effective in improving overall wellness. We selected three young men with relatively high HbA1c levels. During the 12-weeks study periods, we regularly measured each participant's HbA1c levels and monitored their lifestyle habits every two weeks at the community pharmacy once every 2 weeks using specific guidelines. The first participant, a 23-year-old man, had a HbA1c level of 5.7% at his first measurement. His HbA1c level decreased to 5.2% at the last measurement. The second participant, a 19-year-old man, had an initial HbA1c level of 5.7% and a final HbA1c level of 5.4%. The third participant was a 22-year-old man with an initial HbA1c level of 5.4%. His HbA1c level had decreased to 5.1% by the last measurement. The lifestyles of all three men improved with respect to exercise and diet. Based on these results, we surmise that continuous measurements of HbA1c and regular lifestyle checks may contribute to reducing the risk of lifestyle-related disease.

Recently, human serum albumin (HSA) has emerged as a versatile carrier for therapeutic agents against diabetes, cancer, and infectious diseases. Market-approved products include fatty acid derivatives of human insulin for diabetes and the paclitaxel-HSA nanoparticle for various cancers such as metastatic breast cancer and advanced pancreatic cancer. In this review, we focus on the next-generation approach including HSA-binding bioactive gas such as nitric oxide (NO) for treating ischemic/reperfusion injury, cancer, and bacterial infection. To date, pharmacologically active compounds that release NO within the body, such as organic nitrates, have been used as therapeutic agents, but their efficacy is significantly limited by unwanted side effects. Therefore, novel NO donors with better pharmacological and pharmacokinetic properties are highly desirable. The S-nitrosothiol fraction in plasma is largely composed of endogenous S-nitrosated HSA (SNO-HSA), which is why we are investigating whether this albumin form can be therapeutically useful. Recently, we have developed SNO-HSA analogues such as SNO-HSA with many conjugated SNO groups (poly-SNO-HSA) prepared using chemical modification. Unexpectedly, we found striking inverse effects between poly-SNO-HSA and SNO-HSA. Despite the fact that SNO-HSA inhibits apoptosis, poly-SNO-HSA possesses very strong pro-apoptotic effects against tumor cells. Furthermore, poly-SNO-HSA can reduce or even completely eliminate the multidrug resistance often developed by cancer cells. In this review, we put forward the possibility that poly-SNO-HSA can be used as a safe, effective multifunctional antitumor agent.

Down syndrome (DS) patients demonstrate the neuropathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) characterized by the formation of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles by age 40-50 years. It has been considered for a number of years that 1.5-fold expression of the gene for the amyloid precursor protein (APP) located on chromosome 21 leading to overproduction of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) results in the early onset of AD in adults with DS. However, the mean age of onset of familial AD with the Swedish mutation on APP which has high affinity for β-secretase associated with a dramatic increase in Aβ production is about 55 years. This paradox indicates that there is a poor correlation between average ages of AD onset and the theoretical amount of Aβ production and that there are factors exacerbating AD on chromosome 21. We therefore focused on dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinase 1A (DYRK1A), since overexpressing transgenic mice show AD-like brain pathology. The overexpression of DYRK1A caused suppression of the activity of neprilysin (NEP), which is a major Aβ-degrading enzyme in the brain, and phosphorylation at the NEP cytoplasmic domain. NEP activity was markedly reduced in fibroblasts derived from DS patients compared with that in fibroblasts derived from healthy controls. This impaired activity of NEP was rescued by DYRK1A inhibition. These results show that DYRK1A overexpression causes suppression of NEP activity through its phosphorylation in DS patients. Our results suggest that DYRK1A inhibitors could be effective against AD not only in adults with DS but also in sporadic AD patients.

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) aqueous solutions with high water content were repeatedly frozen and defrosted to obtain PVA hydrogels with high elasticity.Tack and viscoelasticities such as storage modulus and loss tangent of the PVA hydrogels were determined as a function of molecular weight, saponification value of PVA, number of cycles of freezing-defrosting procedure or temperature of defrosting, in order to obtain an information on utilities of the materials as prepared poultices and transdermal therapeutic system.Correlation matrix method of multiregression analysis was applied to our data on tack and viscoelasticities of gels, and it was found that there was a significant correlation between tack and storage modulus as well as loss tangent of the materials.Tack, which is one of the most essential properties of pressure sensitive adhesives as prepared poultices and drug delivery system, can easily be predicted, if we measure viscoelasticities of the materials.

This review describes the synthesis and structure-activity relationship (SAR) study of muraymycins (MRYs), which are potent antibacterial nucleoside antibiotics. The key elements of our synthetic approach include the preparation of L-epi-capreomycidine via a C-H amination reaction and a convergent assemblage to construct of the framework of MRYs using Ugi four component reaction. With this approach the first total synthesis of MRY D2 and its epimer, epi-MRY D2, which does not have lipophilic substituents, has been accomplished. The fact that MRY D2 and it's epimer did not show any antibacterial activity indicated the lipophilic substituents of MRYs plays an important role in membrane-permeability. Hence, MRY analogues with lipophilic substituents were designed and synthesized simply by altering the aldehyde component in Ugi four-component assemblage. The MRY analogues with lipophilic substituents exhibited improved antibacterial activity against anti drug-resistant bacteria. It was also suggested that the accessory urea-dipeptide motif might contribute to MraY inhibitory and antibacterial activity. Our synthetic approach would effectively provide a variety of MRY analogues and resultant SAR information brings us directions to create further MRY analogues.

trans-Bis (N-ethylidene-DL-threoninato) copper (II) dihydrate comes in α- and β-form crystals, both melting at 202-203° with decomposition. The α-form crystal is a monoclinic holohedral class and the β-form crystal belongs to the triclinic holohedral class, the α-form crystal having C2h-2/m and β-form, Ci-1. These crystals were proved to be polymorphic forms by their comparative examination through X-ray powder and chemical methods.

Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are contained in a various cell membranes and have recently been implicated in many physiologic functions. They are classified based on their sugar moieties into ceramides, cerebrosides, sulfatides, ceramide-oligohexosides, globosides, and gangliosides. A number of GSLs have been obtained from marine invertebrates such as echinoderms, poriferans, and mollusks and have unique biological activities. During the course of our search for biologically active GSLs from echinoderms, we conducted the isolation and structural elucidation of GSLs from starfish and feather stars and found numerous GSLs, some of which have unique structures. In particular, gangliosides from feather stars were unique in that the sialic acids bind to inositol-phosphoceramide. We also found that the GSLs from starfish and feather stars possess neuritogenic activity toward the rat pheochromocytoma cell line PC12, antihyperglycemic effects against type 2 diabetic BKS. Cg-m+/+Leprdb/J (db/db) mice, and antiosteoporosis effects toward the osteoporosis model mice (OVX mice). These biological activities are thought to be related to dementia, osteoporosis, and diabetes, which are becoming social problems, and are expected to become the seeds of preventive or therapeutic drugs for these illness.

Four hundred samples of Conocephalum conicum, collected in various places have been analyzed by GC-MS. This resulted in the presence of three chemo-types of C. conicum. One of them elaborate (-)-sabinene (type-I) as a major compound. The other two types characteristically contained (+)-bornyl acetate (type-II) and methyl cinnamate (type-III) as major constituent respectively. The structures of three new monoterpenic esters, isolated from the ether extract of C. conicum (type-I and/or II) have been established by chemical and spectral means. They were shown to be monoterpenic esters of (+)-borneol and p-coumaric acid derivatives. The ether extract of the liverwort Chiloscyphus polyanthos afforded sesquiterpenoids which are enantiomeric to those found in another liverwort Lepidozia vitrea. The absolute configurations of the sesquiterpenoids found in the C. polyanthos were determined by spectroscopic evidence, chemical derivatization and/or x-ray crystallographic analysis. The ether extract of the liverwort Porella perrottetiana afforded (-)-α-eudesmol, which showed an opposite sign of the optical rotation to that found in higher plants. Present work on the absolute configuration and an optical purity of (-)-α-eudesmol strongly suggested that the positive values (e.g.+28.5°) described in many previous papers should be revised. Since the absolute configuration of (-)-α-eudesmol was identical to that (+)-β-eudesmol found in the higher plants, it was apparent that the expression of the positive sign might be revised to (-)-α-eudesmol. The optical purity, reconfirmation of the absolute configuration and synthesis of (-)-α-eudesmol will be discussed.

Metabolic screening using liver microsomes of rats and humans is an indispensable tool to optimize a lead structure and to select compounds for in vivo study. Elucidating the relationship between in vitro intrinsic clearance (CLint, app) and in vivo clearance (CLb) is a prerequisite for screening. We investigated the relationship between CLint, app in rat liver microsomes and CLb after intravenous administration in rats in eight projects. No relationship between these two parameters was found across all of the projects examined. However, there was a certain relationship in the same core structure of six projects, but not in the other two projects. The poor correlation in the projects was improved by considering serum protein binding or microsomal binding in the estimation of in vitro clearances. Although the binding assay was labor intensive, unlike metabolic screening, the introduction of the equilibrium dialysis method using a 96-well format increased the throughput. Optimization of metabolic stability was conducted on the basis of the structure-metabolic stability relationship (SMR) in one of the projects, showing a good correlation without the binding factors. The replacement of the piperazine with a homopiperazine moiety improved metabolic stability in the rat and human liver microsomes. The compound also showed a desirable in vivo pharmacokinetic profile in rats, suggesting that the SMR study on the confirmed in vitro and in vivo correlation is essential to the optimization.

As an alternative to hybridoma technology, the antibody phage library system can also be used for antibody selection. This method enables the isolation of antigen-specific binders through an in vitro selection process known as biopanning. While it has several advantages, such as an avoidance of animal immunization, the phage cloning and screening steps of biopanning are time-consuming and problematic. Here, we introduce a novel biopanning method combined with high-throughput sequencing (HTS) using a next-generation sequencer (NGS) to save time and effort in antibody selection, and to increase the diversity of acquired antibody sequences. Biopannings against a target antigen were performed using a human single chain Fv (scFv) antibody phage library. VH genes in pooled phages at each round of biopanning were analyzed by HTS on a NGS. The obtained data were trimmed, merged, and translated into amino acid sequences. The frequencies (%) of the respective VH sequences at each biopanning step were calculated, and the amplification factor (change of frequency through biopanning) was obtained to estimate the potential for antigen binding. A phylogenetic tree was drawn using the top 50 VH sequences with high amplification factors. Representative VH sequences forming the cluster were then picked up and used to reconstruct scFv genes harboring these VHs. Their derived scFv-Fc fusion proteins showed clear antigen binding activity. These results indicate that a combination of biopanning and HTS enables the rapid and comprehensive identification of specific binders from antibody phage libraries.

Down syndrome, caused by the triplication of human chromosome 21, is the most frequent genetic cause of mental retardation. Mice with a segmental trisomy for mouse chromosome 16, which is orthologous to human chromosome 21, exhibit abnormalities similar to those in individuals with Down syndrome and therefore offer the opportunity for a genotype-phenotype correlation. In the current review, I present several mouse lines with trisomic regions of various lengths and discuss their usefulness for elucidating the mechanisms underlying Down syndrome-associated developmental cognitive disabilities. In addition, our recent comprehensive study attempting to identify molecules with disturbed expression in the brain of a mouse model of Down syndrome in order to develop a pharmacologic therapy for Down syndrome is described.
