Neuritogenic activities of 1-alkyloxygenipins.

چکیده
We designed 1-alkyloxygenipins with the aim of improving the stability of genipins based on the structural and electronic properties of genipins, and prepared 1-alkyloxygenipins and examined their neuritogenic activities in PC12h cells. All genipin-derivatives exhibited electronic properties similar to those of genipin and induced significant neurite outgrowth. These compounds will be classified as nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activators (neuritogenic active compounds) since their lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO)-energies are similar to that of tetrahydrobiopterin (H4B). (1R)-isoPropyloxygenipin showed activity comparable to that of genipin, and unlike the parent compound genipin, it was found to be physiologically stable in rat liver homogenate.

متن کاملNeuritogenic Monoglyceride Derived from the Constituent of a Marine Fish for Activating the PI3K/ERK/CREB Signalling Pathways in PC12 Cells
A neuritogenic monoglyceride, 1-O-(myristoyl) glycerol (MG), was isolated from the head of Ilisha elongate using a PC12 cell bioassay system, and its chemical structure was elucidated using spectroscopic methods. MG significantly induced 42% of the neurite outgrowth of PC12 cells at a concentration of 10 μM. To study the structure-activity relationships of MG, a series of monoglycerides was des...
متن کاملThe survival-promoting peptide Y-P30 enhances binding of pleiotrophin to syndecan-2 and -3 and supports its neuritogenic activity.
Y-P30 is a polypeptide produced by peripheral blood mononuclear cells of the maternal immune system during pregnancy. The peptide passes the blood-placenta barrier and accumulates in neurons of the developing infant brain, where it enhances survival of thalamic neurons and displays neuritogenic activities. In this study, we identify pleiotrophin (PTN) and syndecan-2 and -3 as direct binding par...
متن کاملNeuritogenic activity of a genipin derivative in retinal ganglion cells is mediated by retinoic acid receptor β expression through nitric oxide/S-nitrosylation signaling.
Genipin, a herbal iridoid, is known to have both neuroprotective and neuritogenic activity in neuronal cell lines. As it is structurally similar to tetrahydrobiopterin, its activity is believed to be nitric oxide (NO)-dependent. We previously proposed a novel neuroprotective activity of a genipin derivative, (1R)-isoPropyloxygenipin (IPRG001), whereby it reduces oxidative stress in RGC-5, a neu...
