1. New insights into the mechanism of neurolathyrism: L-β-ODAP triggers [Ca2+]i accumulation and cell death in primary motor neurons through transient receptor potential channels and metabotropic glutamate receptors
Kuniko Kusama-Eguchi, et al. Food Chem Toxicol. 2014 May;67:113-22. doi: 10.1016/j.fct.2014.02.021. Epub 2014 Feb 25.
Neurolathyrism is a motor neuron (MN) disease caused by β-N-oxalyl-L-α,β-diaminopropionic acid (L-β-ODAP), an AMPA receptor agonist. L-β-ODAP caused a prolonged rise of intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)]i) in rat spinal cord MNs, and the [Ca(2+)]i accumulation was inversely proportional to the MN's life span. The [Ca(2+)]i rise induced by L-β-ODAP or (S)-AMPA was antagonized completely by NBQX, an AMPA-receptor blocker. However, blocking the L-type Ca(2+) channel with nifedipine significantly lowered [Ca(2+)]i induced by (S)-AMPA, but not that by L-β-ODAP. Tetrodotoxin completely extinguished the [Ca(2+)]i rise induced by (S)-AMPA or kainic acid, whereas that induced by L-β-ODAP was only attenuated by 65.6±6% indicating the prominent involvement of voltage-independent Ca(2+) entry. The tetrodotoxin-resistant [Ca(2+)]i induced by L-β-ODAP was blocked by 2-APB, Gd(3+), La(3+), 1-(β-[3-(4-methoxy-phenyl)propoxy]-4-methoxyphenethyl)-1H-imidazole hydrochloride (SKF-96365) and flufenamic acid, which all are blockers of the transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. Blockers of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR I), 7-(hydroxyiminocyclopropan[b]chromen-1α-carboxylate ethyl ester (CPCCPEt) and 2-methyl-6-(phenylethynyl)-pyridine (MPEP) also lowered the [Ca(2+)]i rise by L-β-ODAP. MN cell death induced by L-β-ODAP was prolonged significantly with SKF-96365 as well as NBQX. The results show the involvement of TRPs and mGluR I in L-β-ODAP-induced MN toxicity through prolonged [Ca(2+)]i mobilization, a unique characteristic of this neurotoxin.
2. Synthesis and some properties and antitumor effects of the actinomycin lactam analog, (di(1-L-alpha, beta-diaminopropionic))actinomycin D1

A lactam analog of actinomycin D (AMD) has been synthesized as a potential antitumor chemotherapeutic agent. Both L-threonine residues were replaced by L-alpha,beta-diaminopropionic acid. Starting with Nalpha-benzyloxycarbonyl-Nbeta-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-L-alpha,beta-diaminopropionic acid methyl ester hydrochloride the linear intermediate Nalpha-benzyloxycarbonyl-Nbeta-(tert-butyloxycarbonylsarcosyl-L-N-methylvalyl)-L-alpha,beta-diaminopropionyl-D-valyl-L-proline p-nitrophenyl ester was prepared by conventional methods of peptide synthesis in solution. Selective cleavage of the Nbeta-tert-butyloxycarbonyl group and lactam formation afforded the desired cyclic pentapeptide derivative. The chromophore precursor, Nalpha-(2-nitro-3-benzyloxy-4-methylbenzoyl) substituent, was introduced via its symmetric anhydride. Catalytic reduction followed by ferricyanide-mediated phenoxazinone formation provided the lactam analog, [di(1'-L-alpha,beta-diaminopionic acid)]actinomycin D ([Dpr1]2-AMD). Its binding to natural and synthetic DNA and that of an analogous L-threo-alpha,beta-diaminobutyric acid containing lactam ([Dbu1]2-AMD) compared with the binding of AMD (in which the peptides are in lactone form) was studied by circular dichroic (CD) spectroscopy. The visible and uv CD spectra of free AMD differed from those of the free lactam analogs, indicating that the asymmetric environment of the pentapeptide rings in the region of the chromophore differs in free actinomycin lactone and lactams. In the presence of calf thymus DNA, PM2 DNA, and the synthetic d(A-T)-like copolymers containing 2,6-diaminopurine (DAP), poly[d(DAP-T)], and poly[d(DAP-A-T)], the rotational strengths of the optically active transitions in the visible region of the actinomycins increased, and the CD spectra in the presence of the various DNA duplexes were qualitatively similar. The CD spectra of bound actinomycin lactams resembled the spectrum of bound AMD. This suggests that the lactone and lactam actinomycins acquire a similar environment when bound to DNA. [Dpr1]2-AMD was less cytotoxic than AMD in antibacterial assays but exhibited somewhat higher toxicity in mice than AMD. At optimal dose levels the lactam analog had little or no antitumor activity in three murine tumor systems.
