Among the small peptides 2-31, (H)Gly-Gly-Phe-Leu(OMe) (30) reduced prostaglandin production of COX-2 with an IC50 of 60 nM relative to 6000 nM for COX-1. The 5 mg kg-1 dose of compound 30 rescued albino mice by 80% from capsaicin-induced paw licking and recovered it by 60% from carrageenan-induced inflammation. The mode of action of compound 30 for targeting COX-2, iNOS, and VGSC was investigated by using substance P, l-arginine, and veratrine, respectively, as biomarkers. The interactions of 30 with COX-2 were supported by isothermal calorimetry experiments showing a Ka of 6.10 ± 1.10 × 104 M-1 and ΔG of -100.3 kJ mol-1 in comparison to a Ka 0.41 × 103 ± 0.09 M-1 and ΔG of -19.2 ± 0.06 kJ mol-1 for COX-1. Moreover, compound 30 did not show toxicity up to a 2000 mg kg-1 dose. Hence, we suggest peptide 30 as a highly potent and promising candidate for further development into an anti-inflammatory drug.

Arenamide A and its diastereomer have been synthesized in a convergent fashion. The key steps involved in this synthesis are Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation, C-C bond formation, and macrolactamization.
KINETICS OF THE ALKALINE HYDROLYSIS OF SEVERAL N-BENZYLOXYCARBONYLDIPEPTIDE METHYL AND ETHYL ESTERS

The reaction rates of the alkaline hydrolysis of synthesized N-protected dipeptide methyl and ethyl esters were studied systematically.From the kinetic data the energies of activation, the pre-exponential factors and the reference values at 40 deg C were calculated.The rate of hydrolysis shows to be strongly dependent on the C-terminal amino acid in the sequence Gly >> Ala/Met/Phe > Leu >> Val/Pro.Surprisingly the N-terminal amino acid also exerts an effect, but in a different sequence.N-Terminal Phe in particular shows a relative accelerating effect.Remarkable is the significantly faster ester hydrolysis of glycine containing dipeptide ethyl esters in ethanol/water compared to the corresponding methyl esters in methanol/water.
