In vivo kinetics and displacement study of a carbon-11-labeled hallucinogen,N,N-[11C]dimethyltryptamine

The endogenous hallucinogen, N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), was labeled with carbon-11 and its regional distribution in rat brain studied. [¹¹C]DMT showed higher accumulation in the cerebral cortex, caudate putamen, and amygdaloid nuclei. Studies of the subcellular distribution of [¹¹C]DMT revealed the specific localization in the fractions enriched with serotonin receptors only when a very low dose was injected into rats. The proportions of the radioactivity in receptor-rich fractions were greatly enhanced by pretreatment with the monoamine oxidase inhibitor, pargyline. Specific binding of [¹¹C]DMT to serotonin receptors in dog brain was demonstrated by a positron emission tomographic study in which 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine caused approximately 20% displacement of the radioligand from the receptors.     

Inhibition of NMDA-induced protein kinase C translocation by a Zn chelator: Implication of intracellular Zn

The role of intracellular Zn²⁺ in the translocation of protein kinase C from cytosol to membrane fractions was examined by the [³H]phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) binding method in guinea pig cerebral synaptoneurosomes. N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA, 100 μM) and calcium ionophore A23187 (0.3–30 μM) decreased the binding activity in the cytosol with a concomitant increase in the membrane fractions. Pretreatment of synaptoneurosomes with a heavy metal chelator, N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis-(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine (TPEN), inhibited the NMDA- and A23187-induced changes of the distribution of [³H]PDBu binding sites in cytosol and membrane fractions. The inhibitory effect of TPEN was negated by a preincubation of TPEN with equimolar Zn²⁺ but not by that with Ca²⁺. The addition of 500 μM Zn²⁺ to the lysate of synaptoneurosomes induced an increase of [³H]PDBu binding activity in the membrane fraction with a concomitant decrease in the cytosol fraction, as did 100 μM Ca²⁺. Low concentrations of Zn²⁺ (10 μM), which alone had no effect on the distribution of the binding, significantly enhanced the effect of 10 μM Ca²⁺ in the lysate. Under those conditions TPEN inhibited the Zn²⁺-potentiated Ca²⁺-dependent changes in the binding. These results suggest that intracellular Zn²⁺ is essential for the agonist-induced translocation of protein kinase C in guinea pig synaptoneurosomes.

Preparation of protected peptidyl thioester intermediates for native chemical ligation by Nα‐9‐fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) chemistry: considerations of side‐chain and backbone anchoring strategies,and compatible protection for N‐terminal cysteine*,†

Abstract: Native chemical ligation has proven to be a powerful method for the synthesis of small proteins and the semisynthesis of larger ones. The essential synthetic intermediates, which are C‐terminal peptide thioesters, cannot survive the repetitive piperidine deprotection steps of N^α‐9‐fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) chemistry. Therefore, peptide scientists who prefer to not use N^α‐t‐butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) chemistry need to adopt more esoteric strategies and tactics in order to integrate ligation approaches with Fmoc chemistry. In the present work, side‐chain and backbone anchoring strategies have been used to prepare the required suitably (partially) protected and/or activated peptide intermediates spanning the length of bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI). Three separate strategies for managing the critical N‐terminal cysteine residue have been developed: (i) incorporation of N^α‐9‐fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl‐S‐(N‐methyl‐N‐phenylcarbamoyl)sulfenylcysteine [Fmoc‐Cys(Snm)‐OH], allowing creation of an otherwise fully protected resin‐bound intermediate with N‐terminal free Cys; (ii) incorporation of N^α‐9‐fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl‐S‐triphenylmethylcysteine [Fmoc‐Cys(Trt)‐OH], generating a stable Fmoc‐Cys(H)‐peptide upon acidolytic cleavage; and (iii) incorporation of N^α‐t‐butyloxycarbonyl‐S‐fluorenylmethylcysteine [Boc‐Cys(Fm)‐OH], generating a stable H‐Cys(Fm)‐peptide upon cleavage. In separate stages of these strategies, thioesters are established at the C‐termini by selective deprotection and coupling steps carried out while peptides remain bound to the supports. Pilot native chemical ligations were pursued directly on‐resin, as well as in solution after cleavage/purification.
