Impact of self-assembly properties on antibacterial activity of short acyl-lysine oligomers.
We investigated both the structural and functional consequences of modifying the hydrophobic, lipopeptide-mimetic oligo-acyl-lysine (OAK) N(alpha)-hexadecanoyl-l-lysyl-l-lysyl-aminododecanoyl-l-lysyl-amide (c(16)KKc(12)K) to its unsaturated analog hexadecenoyl-KKc(12)K [c(16(omega7))KKc(12)K]. Despite similar tendencies for self-assembly in solution (critical aggregation concentrations, approxi...
متن کاملIn vitro antibacterial activity of acyl-lysyl oligomers against Helicobacter pylori.
The gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori has developed resistance to virtually all current antibiotics; thus, there is a pressing need to develop new anti-H. pylori therapies. The goal of this work was to evaluate the antibacterial effect of oligo-acyl-lysyl (OAK) antimicrobial peptidomimetics to determine if they might represent alternatives to conventional antibiotic treatment of H. pylori in...
متن کاملStructure-Toxicity Relationships of Amyloid Peptide Oligomers
The accumulation of misfolded proteins as insoluble, fibrillar aggregates is characteristic of several degenerative diseases. Examples include the proteins involved in amyloid diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (Aβ) (Glenner and Wong 1984), type II diabetes (amylin) (Cooper et al. 1987) and Parkinson’s disease (α-synuclein) (Spillantini et al. 1997), as well as the mammalian prion diseases (P...
متن کاملSynthesis, Characterization and Antibacterial Activity Studies of Some N-Acyl-N'-aryl Thiourea Derivatives
Some N¬-acyl-N'-aryl thiourea derivatives 4(a-f) have been prepared by the reaction of acyl halides ammonium thiocyanate and aryl amines. The structures of synthesized compounds have been characterized by IR, 1HNMR spectral studies. The synthesized compounds 5(a-f) have been screened for antibacterial activity. The effect of the structure of the investigated compounds on the antibacterial activ...
متن کاملStructure-radical scavenging activity relationships of hydroxytoluene derivatives
Research works proposed that radical scavenging activity of flavonoids is due to ring B, andthe remaining part of the molecule can be disregarded. Thus the objective of this work is toobserve whether hydroxytoluenes account the radical scavenging activity of flavonoid and toestablish structural requirements for their activity (as they showed appreciable activity) andelucidate a comprehensive me...
