Incorporation profiles of d-Trp and l-Trp into the striatum following intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of d-Trp or l-Trp in male Sprague-Dawley rats (100mg/kg) were investigated by using a brain microdialysis technique. Alterations in the extracellular dopamine (DA) concentration in the rat striatum were also examined. Incorporation profiles of d-Trp and l-Trp were almost identical; however, transient DA release was only observed 0-30 min following d-Trp administration. Pretreatment with 3-methylpyrazole-5-carboxylic acid, an inhibitor of d-amino acid oxidase (DAAO), significantly suppressed the DA release induced by d-Trp. These findings suggest that d-Trp-induced DA release may be mediated by certain d-Trp metabolites produced by DAAO.

The calcium-dependent antibiotics (CDAs) are a group of seven closely related membrane-active cyclic lipopeptide antibiotics (cLPAs) first isolated in the early 1980s from the fermentation broth of . Their target was unknown, and the mechanism of action is uncertain. Herein, we report new routes for the synthesis of CDA4b and its analogues, explore the structure-activity relationships at its lipid tail and at positions 3, 9, and 11, and determine the CDAs' lipid target.

The dynamic control of chiral (enantiomeric) responses in chiral host-guest complexes through external stimuli is a significant challenge in modern chemistry for developing smart stimuli-responsive materials. Herein, we report the (chir)optical properties and chiral recognition behavior of water-soluble chiral naphthotubes () under the influence of hydrostatic pressure as an external stimulus. The hydrostatic pressure spectral profiles compared to those obtained at normal pressure revealed the dynamic behavior of under hydrostatic pressure, owing to the flexible linker.

Article Synopsis
- Chirality is a critical aspect in various fields, including life sciences and pharmaceuticals, and chiral carbon dots (CCDs) show promise for chiral sensing, although suitable CCDs for tryptophan (Trp) enantiomers are limited.
- Researchers synthesized novel CCDs using l-lysine and l-cysteine, achieving unique chiral recognition that allows them to distinguish between L-Trp and D-Trp both by fluorescence intensity and emission wavelength, with a notable enantioselectivity ratio of 4.5 at 1 mM concentration.
- This study highlights a new chiral sensing platform with the potential for quantitative analysis and determining enantiomeric excess, paving the way for future advancements in

Chiral detection of tryptophan (Trp) isomers is of vital importance and the introduction of efficient, stable and sensitive enantioselective recognition technology is in high demand in the fields of medicine, food and life science. Herein, a facile and sensitive electrochemical probe for the chiral recognition of Trp enantiomers by using chiral polyaniline (D-PANI) and β-CD-MOF is presented. The structure and electrochemical performance of the designed sensor (GCE/β-CD-MOF/D-PANI) were characterized FT-IR, SEM, TEM, EIS, CV and DPV methods.

Hollow polymer microspheres (HPMs) were synthesized, which were then hydrolyzed in aqueous ammonia to produce carboxyl (-COOH) groups on their surface. L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) was grafted to the hydrolyzed HPMs (H-HPMs) through amidation reactions, endowing the H-HPMs with chirality. The resultant chiral HPMs (C-HPMs) were used for the chiral discrimination of tryptophan (Trp) isomers.
