Enzymatic synthesis of a CCK-4 tripeptide fragment.

Published: April 2003

Objective: To synthesize a tripeptide derivative Phac-Met-Asp(OMe)-Phe -NH2, which is a fragment of the gastrin C-terminal tetrapeptide CCK-4, by enzymatic reaction.

Methods: Three free enzymes, alpha-chymotrypsin, papain and thermolysin from acyl donor Phac-Met-OCam was involved in three steps. The choice of appropriate enzymes and solvents was selected.

Results: All enzymatic reactions were obtained in reasonable yields(63%-92%). FAB-MS and FD-MS verified the correct molecular mass of the peptides.

Conclusion: Studies on the alpha-chymotrypsin catalyzed coupling reaction between Phac-Met-OCam and H-Asp(OMe)2 have focused on the low water content media. By papain catalyzed saponification of Phac-Met-Asp(OMe)2, alpha-methyl ester of aspartic acid is selectively hydrolyzed to retain beta-methyl ester, and Phac-Met-Asp(OMe)-OH and H-Phe-NH2 can be coupled efficiently by thermolysin.

Clinical studies have revealed a bidirectional relationship between glioma and ischemic stroke, with evidence of spatial overlap between the two conditions. This connection arises from significant similarities in their pathological processes, including the regulation of cellular metabolism, inflammation, coagulation, hypoxia, angiogenesis, and neural repair, all of which involve common biological factors. A significant shared feature of both diseases is the crucial role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in mediating intercellular communication.

Omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids and their metabolites: a potential targeted therapy for pulmonary hypertension.

Respir Res

March 2025

Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, 430030, People's Republic of China.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive and life-threatening cardiopulmonary disease that is not uncommon. The modulation of the pulmonary artery (PA) involves various fatty acids, including omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-6 PUFAs) and ω-6 PUFAs-derived oxylipins. These lipid mediators are produced through cyclooxygenase (COX), lipoxygenase (LOX), cytochrome P450 (CYP450), and non-enzymatic pathways.
