Peptide models XXV. Side-chain conformational potential energy surface, E = E(χ1, χ2) of N-formyl-L-aspartic acidamide and its conjugate base N- formyl-L-aspartatamide in their γ(L) backbone conformations
(Elsevier Science, 2000-02)
Ab initio molecular computations were carried out on the γ(L) backbone conformation of N-formyl-L-aspartic acidamide and its conjugate base N- formyl-L-aspartatamide at the HF/3-21G level of theory. All side-chain conformations ...
High concentrations of the melatonin metabolite, N-1-acetyl-N (2)-formyl-5-methoxykynuramine, in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with meningitis: a possible immunomodulatory mechanism
(Blackwell Publishing, 2005-10-01)
We evaluated the presence of the melatonin metabolite N-1-acetyl-N-2-formyl-5-methoxykynuramine (AFMK), in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with viral meningitis (n = 20) and control samples (n = 8) and correlate AFMK ...
Optimized synthesis of the melatonin metabolite N(1)-acetyl-N(2)-formyl-5-methoxykynuramine (AFMK)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008-10-01)
N(1)-acetyl-N(2)-formyl-5-methoxykynuramine (AFMK) is the product of oxidative pyrrole ring cleavage of melatonin. AFMK and its deformylated derivative N(1)-acetyl-5-methoxykynuramine (AMK) are compounds for which there ...

The co-catalytic effect of chlorpromazine on peroxidase-mediated oxidation of melatonin: enhanced production of N-1-acetyl-N (2)-formyl-5-methoxykynuramine
(Blackwell Publishing, 2008-03-01)
Accumulating evidence points to relationships between increased production of reactive oxygen or decreased antioxidant protection in schizophrenic patients. Chlorpromazine (CPZ), which remains a benchmark treatment for ...
Monocytes and neutrophils from tuberculosis patients are insensitive to anti-inflammatory effects triggered by the prototypic formyl peptide N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2003-08)
Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis where formyl peptides, which are cleavage products of bacterial and mitochondrial proteins, are present. In this study, we demonstrated that ...
The effect of pH on horseradish peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of melatonin: Production of N1-acetyl-N2-formyl-5- methoxykynuramine versus radical-mediated degradation
(2007-04-01)
There is a growing body of evidence that melatonin and its oxidation product, N1-acetyl-N2-formyl-5-methoxykynuramine (AFMK), have anti-inflammatory properties. From a nutritional point of view, the discovery of melatonin ...
