1. Effect of cisplatin on oral ulcer-induced nociception in rats

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate effects of cisplatin preadministration on oral ulcerative mucositis-induced nociception by using an experimental model of rats. Design: After two rounds of cisplatin administration, oral ulcers developed with topical acetic acid treatment in rats. Spontaneous mouth rubbing behavior was observed as spontaneous nociceptive behavior in a plastic cage. Head-withdrawal behavior was observed as mechanical allodynia by using von Frey test in the oral mucosa of conscious rats. Bacterial invasion and inflammatory cell infiltration into oral ulcerative region and systemic leukocyte phagocytic activity were assessed. Results: Following cisplatin preadministration, oral ulcerative mucositis-induced spontaneous nociceptive behavior was not observed in the model. The preadministration enhanced leukocyte phagocytic activity, leading to reduce bacterial invasion and inflammatory cell infiltration in the oral ulcerative region. In contrast, oral ulcerative mucositis-induced mechanical allodynia was induced. The exaggerated mechanical allodynia in the oral ulcerative region was largely inhibited by topical treatment with the antioxidative drug, ɑ-lipoic acid, or the blocker of N-formyl peptide receptor 1, N-t-butoxycarbonyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine. Conclusions: These results suggest that cisplatin preadministration suppresses spontaneous nociception in oral ulcerative region, due to antiinflammatory effects by enhancement of leukocyte phagocytic activity, but exaggerates mechanical allodynia due to oxidative stress with N-formyl peptide receptor 1 activation. The suppression of spontaneous nociception is one of the advantages of cisplatin treatment for head and neck cancer patients although the exaggerated allodynia is a serious symptom.
2. New Method to Prepare N-t-Butoxycarbonyl Derivatives and the Corresponding Sulfur Analogs from di-t-Butyl Dicarbonate or di-t-Butyl Dithiol Dicarbonates and Amino Acids
D S Tarbell, Y Yamamoto, B M Pope Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1972 Mar;69(3):730-2. doi: 10.1073/pnas.69.3.730.
Di-t-butyl dicarbonate and one of its dithiol analogs, practical methods of preparation for which are given, react with amino-acid esters to form the N-t-butoxycarbonyl (t-BOC) derivatives and the thiol analogs in good yield under mild conditions. The thiol analogs are stable to acidic conditions, which rapidly remove the t-BOC group itself. t-Butyl trimethylsilyl carbonate forms a (CH(3))(3)Si ether from a N-thiol-t-BOC serine methyl ester. The N-thiol-t-BOC group can be removed from the -NHCOSR (R = t-butyl) by heating with peroxide-acetic acid.Action of the dicarbonates described above has not been attended by racemization in the cases examined. The two dicarbonates may be useful as agents for selective blocking and deblocking of amino or other groups.
3. Cyclosporin H is a potent and selective formyl peptide receptor antagonist. Comparison with N-t-butoxycarbonyl-L-phenylalanyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanyl-L- leucyl-L-phenylalanine and cyclosporins A, B, C, D, and E

The cyclic undecapeptide, cyclosporin (Cs) H, is a potent inhibitor of FMLP-induced superoxide anion (O2-) formation in human neutrophils. We studied the effects of CsH in comparison with those of N-t-butoxycarbonyl-L-phenylalanyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanyl-L-leucyl-L- phenylalanine (BocPLPLP), a well known formyl peptide receptor antagonist, and of other Cs on activation of N6,2'-O-dibutyryl adenosine 3:5'-monophosphate-differentiated HL-60 cells and human erythroleukemia cells (HEL cells). CsH inhibited FMLP binding in HL-60 membranes with a Ki (inhibition constant) of 0.10 microM. CsH inhibited activation by FMLP of high affinity GTPase (the enzymatic activity of alpha-subunits of heterotrimeric regulatory guanine nucleotide-binding proteins) in HL-60 membranes with a Ki of 0.79 microM. CsH inhibited the stimulatory effects of FMLP on cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), O2- formation, and beta-glucuronidase release with Ki values of 0.08, 0.24, and 0.45 microM, respectively. BocPLPLP was 14-fold less potent than CsH in inhibiting FMLP binding and 4- to 6-fold less potent than CsH in inhibiting FMLP-induced GTP hydrolysis, rises in [Ca2+]i, O2- formation, and beta-glucuronidase release. CsA reduced FMLP-induced O2- formation by 20%, but CsB, CsC, CsD, and CsE did not. CsA, CsB, CsC, CsD, and CsE did not affect FMLP-induced rises in [Ca2+]i. BocPLPLP inhibited leukotriene B4-induced rises in [Ca2+]i with a Ki of 0.33 microM, whereas CsH showed no inhibitory effect. CsH and BocPLPLP did not inhibit the rises in [Ca2+]i induced by several other stimuli in HL-60 cells and HEL cells. Our results show that 1) CsH is a more potent formyl peptide receptor antagonist than BocPLPLP; 2) unlike BocPLPLP, CsH is selective; and 3) N-methyl-D-valine which is present at position 11 of the amino acid sequence of CsH but not of other Cs is crucial for FMLP antagonism.
