4-Hydroxynonenal interaction with rhodopsin.

Abstract

4-Hydroxynonenal binds easily to rhodopsin and this was accompanied by a decrease in measurable sulfhydryl groups. Analysis of tryptic digests of the rhodopsin-HNE adduct by high performance liquid chromatography revealed that several peptides present in the digests of rhodopsin disappeared, whereas HNE modified peptides not originally present were found in digests of the rhodopsin-HNE adduct. Matrix assisted laser desorption time of flight mass spectrometry showed that up to ten molecules of HNE bound to rhodopsin.

First enantiospecific total synthesis of the important biogenetic intermediates, (+)-polyneuridine and (+)-polyneuridine aldehyde, as well as 16-epi-vellosimine and macusine A.

The first enantiospecific total synthesis of the alkaloids 16-epi-vellosimine (1), (+)-polyneuridine (2), (+)-polyneuridine aldehyde (3), and macusine A (4) is reported. The key oxidation was accomplished with the Corey-Kim reagent to provide the important biogenetic intermediates, 16-epi-vellosimine (1) and polyneuridine aldehyde (3), the latter of which is required for the conversion of the sarpagan skeleton into the ajmalan system in the biosynthesis of quebrachidine.
