2-Methyl-aspartic acid monohydrate.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C5H9NO4·H2O, is an isomer of the α-amino acid glutamic acid that crystallizes from water in its zwitterionic form as a monohydrate. It is not one of the 20 proteinogenic α-amino acids that are used in living systems and differs from the natural amino acids in that it has an α-methyl group rather than an α-H atom. In the crystal, an O-H⋯O hydrogen bond is present between the acid and water mol-ecules while extensive N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the components into a three-dimensional array.

2-[(4-Methyl-benzo-yl)hydrazono]-propionic acid monohydrate.

Project description:In the title compound, C(11)H(12)N(2)O(3)·H(2)O, the water mol-ecule is a hydrogen-bond donor to the double-bond amide and the carbonyl O atoms of two acid mol-ecules; it is also a hydrogen-bond acceptor to the acid -OH and amide -NH- groups. These hydrogen-bonding inter-actions give rise to a layer structure, with the layers parallel to the ab plane.

N-Hydroxypyrazolyl glycine derivatives as selective N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor ligands.

Project description:A series of analogues based on N-hydroxypyrazole as a bioisostere for the distal carboxylate group of aspartate have been designed, synthesized, and pharmacologically characterized. Affinity studies on the major glutamate receptor subgroups show that these 4-substituted N-hydroxypyrazol-5-yl glycine (NHP5G) derivatives are selectively recognized by N-methyl- d-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptors and that the ( R)-enantiomers are preferred. Moreover, several of the compounds are able to discriminate between individual subtypes among the NMDA receptors, providing new pharmacological tools. For example, 4-propyl NHP5G is an antagonist at the NR1/NR2A subtype but an agonist at the NR1/NR2D subtype. Molecular docking studies indicate that the substituent protrudes into a region that may be further exploited to improve subtype selectivity, thereby opening up a design strategy for ligands which can differentiate individual NMDA receptor subtypes.

2-(Carboxy-methyl-sulfan-yl)pyridine-3-carboxylic acid monohydrate.

Project description:The title compound, C(8)H(7)NO(4)S·H(2)O, was obtained by reaction of 2-mercaptopyridine-3-carboxylic acid with chloro-acetic acid. In the mol-ecular structure, the dihedral angle between the two least-squares planes defined by the pyridine ring and the carb-oxy group is 8.32?(9)°. The carboxy-methyl-sulfanyl group makes a torsion angle of 82.64?(12)° with the pyridine ring. An intra-molecular O-H?N hydrogen bond between the acidic function of the carboxy-methyl-sulfanyl group and the pyridine N atom stabilizes the conformation, whereas inter-molecular O-H?O hydrogen bonding with the uncoordinated water mol-ecules is responsible for packing of the structure, leading to chains propagating in [001].

Nurr1 protein is required for N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor-mediated neuronal survival.

Project description:NMDA receptor (NMDAR) stimulation promotes neuronal survival during brain development. Cerebellar granule cells (CGCs) need NMDAR stimulation to survive and develop. These neurons differentiate and mature during its migration from the external granular layer to the internal granular layer, and lack of excitatory inputs triggers their apoptotic death. It is possible to mimic this process in vitro by culturing CGCs in low KCl concentrations (5 mm) in the presence or absence of NMDA. Using this experimental approach, we have obtained whole genome expression profiles after 3 and 8 h of NMDA addition to identify genes involved in NMDA-mediated survival of CGCs. One of the identified genes was Nurr1, a member of the orphan nuclear receptor subfamily Nr4a. Our results report a direct regulation of Nurr1 by CREB after NMDAR stimulation. ChIP assay confirmed CREB binding to Nurr1 promoter, whereas CREB shRNA blocked NMDA-mediated increase in Nurr1 expression. Moreover, we show that Nurr1 is important for NMDAR survival effect. We show that Nurr1 binds to Bdnf promoter IV and that silencing Nurr1 by shRNA leads to a decrease in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) protein levels and a reduction of NMDA neuroprotective effect. Also, we report that Nurr1 and BDNF show a similar expression pattern during postnatal cerebellar development. Thus, we conclude that Nurr1 is a downstream target of CREB and that it is responsible for the NMDA-mediated increase in BDNF, which is necessary for the NMDA-mediated prosurvival effect on neurons.

Conformational changes at the agonist binding domain of the N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor.

Project description:The conformational changes in the agonist binding domain of the glycine-binding GluN1 and glutamate-binding GluN2A subunits of the N-methyl D-aspartic acid receptor upon binding agonists of varying efficacy have been investigated by luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET) measurements. The LRET-based distances indicate a cleft closure conformational change at the GluN1 subunit upon binding agonists; however, no significant changes in the cleft closure are observed between partial and full agonists. This is consistent with the previously reported crystal structures for the isolated agonist binding domain of this receptor. Additionally, the LRET-based distances show that the agonist binding domain of the glutamate-binding GluN2A subunit exhibits a graded cleft closure with the extent of cleft closure being proportional to the extent of activation, indicating that the mechanism of activation in this subunit is similar to that of the glutamate binding α-amino-5-methyl-3-hydroxy-4-isoxazole propionate and kainate subtypes of the ionotropic glutamate receptors.

Stapling mimics noncovalent interactions of ?-carboxyglutamates in conantokins, peptidic antagonists of N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptors.

Project description:Conantokins are short peptides derived from the venoms of marine cone snails that act as antagonists of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor family of excitatory glutamate receptors. These peptides contain ?-carboxyglutamic acid residues typically spaced at i,i+4 and/or i,i+7 intervals, which by chelating divalent cations induce and stabilize helical conformation of the peptide. Introduction of a dicarba bridge (or a staple) can covalently stabilize peptide helicity and improve its pharmacological properties. To test the hypothesis that stapling can effectively replace ?-carboxyglutamic acid residues in stabilizing the helical conformation of conantokins, we designed, synthesized, and characterized several stapled analogs of conantokin G (conG), with varying connectivities in terms of staple length and location along the face of the ?-helix. NMR studies confirmed that the ring-closing metathesis reaction yielded a single product with the Z configuration of the olefinic bond. Based on circular dichroism and molecular modeling, the stapled analogs exhibited significantly enhanced helicity compared with the native peptide in a metal-free environment. Stapling i,i+4 was benign with respect to effects on in vitro and in vivo pharmacological properties. One analog, namely conG[11-15,S(i,i+4)S(8)], blocked NR2B-containing NMDA receptors with IC(50) = 0.7 ?m and provided significant protection in the 6-Hz psychomotor model of pharmacoresistant epilepsy in mice. Remarkably, unlike native conG, conG[11-15,S(i,i+4)S(8)] produced no behavioral motor toxicity. Our results extend the applications of peptide stapling to helical peptides with extracellular targets and provide a means for engineering conantokins with improved pharmacological properties.

1,1'-Methyl-enedipyridinium dichloride monohydrate.

Project description:In the crystal structure of the title salt, C(11)H(12)N(2) (2+)·2Cl(-)·H(2)O, the dication adopts a butterfly shape [dihedral angle between rings = 69.0?(1)°] with the water mol-ecule lying in the V-shaped cavity. Each O-H bond of the water molecule lies parallel to an aromatic ring and forms an O-H?Cl inter-action to a chloride anion. The methyl-ene C atom in the dication and the water O atoms lie on special positions of twofold site symmetry.
