Halder, Moumita;Bhatia, Yatin;Singh, Yashveer research published 《 Self-assembled di- and tripeptide gels for the passive entrapment and pH-responsive, sustained release of an antidiabetic drug, glimepiride》, the research content is summarized as follows. Diabetes is a global epidemic that poses a severe challenge to public health. The characteristic features of this disease are hyperglycemia and deterioration of the function of pancreatic β-cells, which leads to oxidative stress and organ damage. Glimepiride is used to treat type II diabetes but is associated with side effects, like lower half-life, faster elimination, and hypoglycemia. Self-assembled peptide gels have drawn attention as a drug delivery depot because of their biocompatibility, diverse design, tunable functionality, and dynamic self-assembly properties. In order to overcome the challenge of oxidative stress and side effects associated with the use of glimepiride, we have developed glimepiride-loaded, self-assembled peptide gels from di- and tripeptides employing amino acids with inherent antioxidant properties. Dipeptides, Fmoc-Tyr-Tyr-NH2 (YY) and Fmoc-Trp-Trp-NH2 (WW), and a tripeptide, Fmoc-Trp-Trp-His-NH2 (WWH), were developed and self-assembled into gels. The gels exhibited excellent viscoelastic properties and self-healing abilities, and the presence of β-sheet secondary structures. The dipeptide gels provided a sustained drug release but more drug was released at physiol. pH (7.4) than acidic pH (5 and 6), whereas the tripeptide gel released more drug at acidic pH. The gels showed free radical scavenging activities of more than 90% and were able to decrease the amount of oxidative stress caused by the ROS in HepG2 cells. They were non-toxic to the cell line tested and HepG2 cells treated with the releasate of tripeptide gels showed enhanced glucose uptake. This work for the first time reports the development of glimepiride-loaded self-assembled peptide gels, which can serve as a dynamic, multidimensional biomaterial to reduce oxidative stress, hypoglycemia, and repetitive dosing of drugs in diabetic patients by controlling glimepiride release.
35737-15-6, Nalpha-FMOC-L-Tryptophan,also known as Fmoc-Trp-OH， is a useful research compound. Its molecular formula is C26H22N2O4 and its molecular weight is 426.5 g/mol. The purity is usually 95%.
Nα-Fmoc-L-Tryptophan is an N-Fmoc protected form of L-Tryptophan (T947210). L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that is important for cell proliferation and the biosynthesis of proteins. It is a precursor to Serotonin (HCl: S274980), a neurotransmitter that compound that aids in sleep and mental state. L-Tryptophan is also thought to cause eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome.
Fmoc-Trp-OH is an amino acid derivative
Fmoc-L-Trp-OH is an amide that contains a low bioavailability and inhibits the transfer of amino acids to ribosomes. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in cell culture and to have antimicrobial activity. Fmoc-L-Trp-OH is synthesized by reacting Naphthalene with glycine, followed by hydrolysis of the ester group under trifluoroacetic acid. The product is then conjugated with a polypeptide. This method of synthesis was developed as a way to produce peptides that are difficult to synthesize using solid-phase chemistry., Application In Synthesis of 35737-15-6
