Abstract
Madurastatins are a group of pentapeptides containing an oxazoline moiety, and, in a few cases, an imidazolidinone ring as an additional structural feature. In our search for new potential antiparasitic metabolites from natural sources, we studied the acetone extracts from a culture of Actinomadura sp. CA-135719. The LC/HRMS analysis of this extract identified the presence of the known madurastatins C1 (1), D1 (4), and D2 (5) together with additional members of the family that were identified as the new madurastatins H2 (2) and 33-epi-D1 (3) after isolation and spectroscopic analysis. The planar structures of the new compounds were established by HRMS, ESI-qTOF-MS/MS, and 1D and 2D NMR data, and their absolute configuration was proposed using Marfey's and bioinformatic analyses of the biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC). A revision of the absolute configuration of madurastatins D1 and D2 is proposed. Additionally, madurastatins containing imidazolidinone rings are proved to be artifacts originating during acetone extraction of the bacterial cultures.

Abstract
Despite the importance of the 4-imidazolidinone scaffold in bioactive compounds or organocatalysts, methodologies to access these nitrogenated heterocycles remain scarce. This manuscript describes a novel preparation of 4-imidazolidinones via a diastereo- and enantioselective (3 + 2) cycloaddition between 5-vinyloxazolidine-2,4-diones (VOxD) and electrophilic imines under palladium catalysis. This work supports the synthetic potential of VOxD as a promising equivalent of the C-C(═O)-N synthon.

Impact of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and N-(3-(Dimethylamino)propyl)methacrylamide on the efficacy of the human derived coagulation factor IX. Int J Pharm 2023; 634:122664.

Abstract
Polymer-borne leachables such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and N-3-(Dimethylamino)propyl)methacrylamide (DMAPMA) may interact with therapeutic proteins. In this study, the leachables were spiked into human derived coagulation factor IX (FIX) at concentrations of 1, 10, 50, 100, and 500 µg/mL, corresponding to a leachable - FIX ratio of 0.5, 5, 25, 50 and 250 %, respectively. The spiked samples were visually inspected, and pH was measured. No visual effects were observed, and pH was within the drug product's specified range. Recovery experiments were performed and no loss of leachables was identified. Protein structure analysis revealed that formaldehyde reacted with lysine contained in two different positions of FIX, in a concentration-dependent manner starting at 10 µg/mL (5 %). The clotting activity of FIX was measured. The activity of the samples spiked with 500 µg/mL (250 %) of formaldehyde dropped by more than half. The activity of the samples spiked with acetaldehyde began to drop at 50 µg/mL (25 %) and continued to decline in concentration-dependent manner. DMAPMA did not impair the activity of FIX. The findings conclude that depending on the concentration, some leachables may react with or modify therapeutic proteins, potentially causing an undesired pharmacological effect however, this is specific to each protein.

Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder leading to dementia. Aggregation of the amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) plays an important role in the disease, with Aβ oligomers representing the most toxic species. Previously, we have developed the Aβ oligomer eliminating therapeutic compound RD2 consisting solely of D-enantiomeric amino acid residues. RD2 has been described to have an oral bioavailability of more than 75% and to improve cognition in transgenic Alzheimer’s disease mouse models after oral administration. In the present study, we further examined the stability of RD2 in simulated gastrointestinal fluids, blood plasma and liver microsomes. In addition, we have examined whether RD2 is a substrate for the human D-amino acid oxidase (hDAAO). Furthermore, metabolite profiles of RD2 incubated in human, rodent and non-rodent liver microsomes were compared across species to search for human-specific metabolites that might possibly constitute a threat when applying the compound in humans. RD2 was remarkably resistant against metabolization in all investigated media and not converted by hDAAO. Moreover, RD2 did not influence the activity of any of the tested enzymes. In conclusion, the high stability and the absence of relevant human-specific metabolites support RD2 to be safe for oral administration in humans.

Abstract
Unexpected [M + 15](+) ions were formed during the analysis of aromatic aldehydes by use of methanol in positive-ion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Aromatic aldehydes with electron-withdrawing groups or electron-donating groups were all tested to make sure the universality. All the aromatic aldehydes studied with methanol as the solvent could generate [M + 15](+) ion, and for most of them, the [M + 15](+) ion was more intense than the [M + H](+) ion. Deuterium-labeling experiment, high-performance liquid chromatography-MS experiment, collision-induced dissociation experiment, and theoretical calculations were performed to identify the formation of [M + 15](+) ion. The proposed reaction mechanism is a gas-phase aldol reaction between protonated aromatic aldehydes and methanol occurring in electrospray source. Understanding and using this unique gas-phase ion/molecule reaction can indeed offer a novel and fast approach for the direct identification of aromatic aldehydes.

Abstract
Methods have been developed to measure the fluorescence lifetime versus temperature of trapped biomolecular ions derivatized with a fluorescent dye. Previous measurements for different sequences of polyproline peptides demonstrated that quenching rates are related to conformations and their spatial fluctuations. This paper presents the results of extending these methods to study the conformational dynamics of larger biomolecules. Vancomycin-peptide noncovalent complexes in the 1+ charge state were studied as a function of temperature for different W-KAA peptide chiralities (L-LDD, D-LDD, L-DLL). Fluorescence-quenching rates, k(q), were found to be stereoselective for these different chiralities with relative magnitudes k(q)(L-LDD) > k(q)(D-LDD) > k(q)(L-DLL). The variation in fluorescent quenching resulting from switching the chirality of the single Trp residue was readily detectable. Molecular dynamics analysis of complexes formed by W-KAA (L-LDD) and W-KAA(L-DLL) indicates that increased flexibility in the (L-DLL) complex is correlated with reduced quenching rates. Fluorescence measurements were also performed for the Trp-cage protein comparing quenching rates in the 1+, 2+, and 3+ charge states for which k(q)(+) >> k(q)(2+) approximately k(q)(3+). Measurements of a sequence including a single-point mutation infer the presence of a salt-bridge structure in the 1+ charge state and its absence in both the 2+ and 3+ states. Molecular dynamics structures of Trp-cage indicate that a salt bridge in the 1+ charge state produces more compact conformations leading to larger quenching rates based on the quenching mechanism. In both these experimental studies the fluorescence-quenching rates were consistent with changes in structure induced by either intermolecular or intramolecular interactions.

Abstract
We report the formation of unexpected ions during the analyses of a first-generation polyamidoamine dendrimer in negative ion mode using an ion trap equipped with an electrospray ionisation source. These surprising ions corresponded to an increase of 12 m/z units over those expected. The formation of the unexpected ions was dependent on the tuning of the solution flow rate and the capillary high voltage. In addition, measurements of unusual value of the current suggested that a reaction was occurring in the corona plasma. The influence of methanol in this phenomenon was demonstrated by using CD(3)OH in the sample preparation. We propose two structures to explain the observed adduct based on the results of MS(2) experiments and by referring to previous work dealing with 12 m/z units addition. We showed that a corona discharge caused by alterations taking place to the electrospray capillary emitter was the origin of these unexpected ions. Finally, we discuss the mechanism involved in the formation of the ions and we propose means to control such artefacts.

Abstract
Further investigations towards novel glycopeptide/beta-lactam heterodimers are reported. Employing a multivalent approach to drug discovery, vancomycin and cephalosporin synthons, 4, 2, 5 and 10, 18, 25 respectively, were chemically linked to yield heterodimer antibiotics. These novel compounds were designed to inhibit Gram-positive bacterial cell wall biosynthesis by simultaneously targeting the principal cellular targets of both glycopeptides and beta-lactams. The positional attachment of both the vancomycin and the cephalosporin central cores has been explored and the SAR is reported. This novel class of bifunctional antibiotics 28-36 all displayed remarkable potency against a wide range of Gram-positive organisms, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). A subset of compounds, 29, 31 and 35 demonstrated excellent bactericidal activity against MRSA (ATCC 33591) and 31 and 35 also exhibited superb in vivo efficacy in a mouse model of MRSA infection. As a result of this work compound 35 was selected as a clinical candidate, TD-1792.

Abstract
For decades, formaldehyde has been routinely used to cross-link proteins in cells, tissue, and in some instances, even entire organisms. Due to its small size, formaldehyde can readily permeate cell walls and membranes, resulting in efficient cross-linking, i.e. the formation of covalent bonds between proteins, DNA, and other reactive molecules. Indeed, formaldehyde cross-linking is an instrumental component of many mainstream analytical/cell biology techniques including chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) of protein-DNA complexes found in nuclei; immunohistological analysis of protein expression and localization within cells, tissues, and organs; and mass spectrometry (MS)-compatible silver-staining methodologies used to visualize low abundance proteins in polyacrylamide gels. However, despite its exquisite suitability for use in the analysis of protein environments within cells, formaldehyde has yet to be commonly employed in the directed analysis of protein-protein interactions and cellular networks. The general purpose of this article is to discuss recent advancements in the use of formaldehyde cross-linking in combination with MS-based methodologies. Key advantages and limitations to the use of formaldehyde over other cross-linkers and technologies currently used to study protein-protein interactions are highlighted, and formaldehyde-based experimental approaches that are proving very promising in their ability to accurately and efficiently identify novel protein-protein and multiprotein interaction complexes are presented.

Abstract
Biogenic corrosion of sewers represents a cost of about 10% of total sewage treatment cost in Flanders (Belgium) and is further increasing. In the past, research has resulted in a number of prevention methods, such as injection of air, oxygen, H(2)O(2), NaClO, FeCl(3) and FeSO(4). The possibility of biological oxidation of sulfide using nitrate as the electron acceptor has also been explored in sewer systems. However, all of these methods have a problem with the high cost (euro 1.9-7.2 kg(-1)S removal). In this review, new approaches for hydrogen sulfide emission control in sewer systems are discussed. The control of hydrogen sulfide emission by using a microbial fuel cell (MFC) can be cost-effective while the BOD is removed partially. The use of phages that target sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) can possibly inhibit sulfide formation. Novel inhibitors, such as slow release solid-phase oxygen (MgO(2)/CaO(2)) and formaldehyde, warrant further study to control hydrogen sulfide emission in sewer systems.

Imidazolidin-4-ones are commonly employed as skeletal modifications in bioactive oligopeptides, either as proline surrogates or for protection of the N-terminal amino acid against aminopeptidase- and endopeptidase-catalyzed hydrolysis. Imidazolidin-4-one synthesis usually involves the reaction of an alpha-aminoamide moiety with a ketone or an aldehyde to yield an imine, followed by intramolecular cyclization. We have unexpectedly found that imidazolidin-4-one formation is stereoselective when benzaldehydes containing o-carboxyl or o-methoxycarbonyl substituents are reacted with alpha-aminoamide derivatives of the antimalarial drug primaquine. A systematic computational and experimental study on the stereoselectivity of imidazolidin-4-one formation from primaquine alpha-aminoamides and various substituted benzaldehydes has been carried out, and they have allowed us to conclude that intramolecular hydrogen-bonds involving the C=O oxygen of the o-substituent play a crucial role.

Abstract
An estimation method for determination of binding constants of receptors to ligands by affinity capillary electrophoresis was evaluated. On the basis of the theories of pseudostationary phase or so-called dynamic stationary phase, the retention factor (k) was used to represent the interaction between the receptor and ligand. k could be easily deduced from the migration times of the ligand and the receptor. Then, with the linear relationship of k versus the concentration of ligand in the running buffer, the binding constant K(b) was calculated from the slope and intercept. In order to test its feasibility, the calculation method was demonstrated using three model systems: the interactions between vancomycin and N-acetyl-D-Ala-D-Ala, ristocetin and N-acetyl-D-Ala-D-Ala, and carbonic anhydrase B and an arylsulfonamide. Estimated binding constants were compared with those determined by other techniques. The results showed that this estimation method was reliable. This calculation method offers a simple and easy approach to estimating binding constants of ligands to receptors.

Abstract
Multiple-injection affinity capillary electrophoresis (MIACE) was used to determine binding constants (K(b)) between vancomycin, ristocetin, and teicoplanin from Streptomyces orientalis, Nocardia lurida, and Actinoplanes teichomyceticus, respectively, and fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc)-(Gly, Ala, Val, and Phe)-D-Ala-D-Ala peptides. In this technique, separate plugs of sample containing non-interacting standards, peptide one, buffer, and peptide two, were injected into the capillary column and electrophoresed. Peptides migrate through the column at similar electrophoretic mobilities but remain as distinct zones due to the buffer plug between peptides. The electrophoresis is then carried out in an increasing concentration of antibiotic in the running buffer. Continued electrophoresis results in a shift in the migration time of the peptides upon binding to the antibiotic. Analysis of the change in the relative migration time ratio (RMTR) of the resultant complexes relative to the non-interacting standards, as a function of the concentration of antibiotic yields a value for K(b). MIACE is a versatile technique that can be used to measure affinity constants between ligands of similar relative molecular mass and charge without the need of separate binding experiments. The findings described, herein, demonstrate the advantages of using MIACE to estimate binding parameters between ligands and receptors.

Abstract
Multiple-injection affinity capillary electrophoresis (MIACE) is used to determine binding constants (Kb) between receptors and ligands using as model systems vancomycin and teicoplanin from Streptomyces orientalis and Actinoplanes teichomyceticus, respectively, and their binding to D-Ala-D-Ala peptides and carbonic anhydrase B (CAB. EC 4.2.1.1) and the binding of the latter to arylsulfonamides. A sample plug containing a non-interacting standard is first injected followed by multiple plugs of sample containing the receptor and then a final injection of sample containing a second standard. Between each injection of sample, a small plug of buffer is injected which contains an increasing concentration of ligand to effect separation between the multiple injections of sample. Electrophoresis is then carried out in an increasing concentration of ligand in the running buffer. Continued electrophoresis results in a shift in the migration time of the receptor in the sample plugs upon binding to their respective ligand. Analysis of the change in the relative migration time ratio (RMTR) or electrophoretic mobility (mu) of the resultant receptor-ligand complex relative to the non-interacting standards, as a function of the concentration of ligand yields a value for Kb. The MIACE technique is a modification in the ACE method that allows for the estimation of binding affinities between biological interactions on a timescale faster than that found for standard ACE. In addition sample volume requirements for the technique are reduced compared to traditional ACE assays. These findings demonstrate the advantage of using MIACE to estimate binding parameters between receptors and ligands.

Abstract
Binding constants of the glycopeptide antibiotics teicoplanin (Teic), ristocetin (Rist), and vancomycin (Van), and their derivatives to D-Ala-D-Ala terminus peptides were determined by on-column ligand and receptor synthesis coupled to affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) or partial filling ACE (PFACE). In the first technique, 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc)-amino acid-D-Ala-D-Ala species are first synthesized using on-column techniques. The initial sample plug contains a D-Ala-D-Ala terminus peptide and two non-interacting standards. Plugs two and three contain solutions of Fmoc-amino acid-N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester and buffer, respectively. Upon electrophoresis, the initial D-Ala-D-Ala peptide reacts with the Fmoc-amino acid NHS ester yielding the Fmoc-amino acid D-Ala-D-Ala peptide. Continued electrophoresis results in the overlap of the glycopeptide in the running buffer and the plug of Fmoc-amino acid-D-Ala-D-Ala peptide and non-interacting markers. Subsequent analysis of the change in the electrophoretic mobility (mu) or relative migration time ratio (RMTR) of the peptide relative to the non-interacting standards, as a function of the concentration of the antibiotic, yields a value for the binding constant. In the second technique, derivatives of the glycopeptides Teic and Rist are first synthesized on-column before analysis by ACE or PFACE. After the column has been partially filled with increasing concentrations of D-Ala-D-Ala terminus peptides, a plug of buffer followed by two separate plugs of reagents are injected. The order of the reagent plugs containing the antibiotic and two non-interacting standards and the anhydride varies with the charge of the glycopeptide. Upon electrophoresis, the antibiotic reacts with the anhydride yielding a derivative of Teic or Rist. Continued electrophoresis results in the overlap of the derivatized antibiotic and the plug of D-Ala-D-Ala peptide. Analysis of the change in RMTR of the new glycopeptide relative to the non-interacting standards, as a function of the concentration of the D-Ala-D-Ala ligand yields a value for the binding constant.

Abstract
Formaldehyde is a well known cross-linking agent that can inactivate, stabilize, or immobilize proteins. The purpose of this study was to map the chemical modifications occurring on each natural amino acid residue caused by formaldehyde. Therefore, model peptides were treated with excess formaldehyde, and the reaction products were analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Formaldehyde was shown to react with the amino group of the N-terminal amino acid residue and the side-chains of arginine, cysteine, histidine, and lysine residues. Depending on the peptide sequence, methylol groups, Schiff-bases, and methylene bridges were formed. To study intermolecular cross-linking in more detail, cyanoborohydride or glycine was added to the reaction solution. The use of cyanoborohydride could easily distinguish between peptides containing a Schiff-base or a methylene bridge. Formaldehyde and glycine formed a Schiff-base adduct, which was rapidly attached to primary N-terminal amino groups, arginine and tyrosine residues, and, to a lesser degree, asparagine, glutamine, histidine, and tryptophan residues. Unexpected modifications were found in peptides containing a free N-terminal amino group or an arginine residue. Formaldehyde-glycine adducts reacted with the N terminus by means of two steps: the N terminus formed an imidazolidinone, and then the glycine was attached via a methylene bridge. Two covalent modifications occurred on an arginine-containing peptide: (i) the attachment of one glycine molecule to the arginine residue via two methylene bridges, and (ii) the coupling of two glycine molecules via four methylene bridges. Remarkably, formaldehyde did not generate intermolecular cross-links between two primary amino groups. In conclusion, the use of model peptides enabled us to determine the reactivity of each particular cross-link reaction as a function of the reaction conditions and to identify new reaction products after incubation with formaldehyde.

Abstract
Owing to the diversity of carbohydrate structures and their significance for the function of many biopolymers, structural analysis of various carbohydrate-related compounds is of great importance. Electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) was used to establish the fragmentation behaviour of a range of sugar-peptide adducts as model compounds of widespread glycoprotein structures. The compounds used in this study were chosen to provide correlation of distinct fragment ions with specific structural differences, namely position and type of carbohydrate-peptide bond and structure of the sugar moiety. All compounds show N- and C-terminal sequence ions along with losses of up to three water molecules. Fructose-related Amadori compounds exhibit M + 78 modified N-terminal peptide fragment ions. Fragmentation of glucose-peptide esters is characterized by the sugar ring fragmentation. Additionally, under the ESI-MS conditions applied, the esters studied undergo intramolecular reaction giving cyclic sugar-peptide structures that can be traced by the presence of N-terminal peptide M + 42 adducts. Detailed analysis of cyclic fructose-related compound comprising structural features of both studied groups revealed a rich fragmentation pattern derived from amino acid residues and water molecules losses from [M - 2H(2)O + H](+) ion. Also, some interesting differences were found with respect to the nature of carbohydrate moieties.

Abstract
Many analytical approaches are available to evaluate (bio)molecular interactions, all of which have their particular advantages and disadvantages. In recent years, two relatively new techniques have emerged that may be used by the bioanalytical community to evaluate such interactions, namely affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) and bioaffinity electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). In this paper, we describe and evaluate the use of both these techniques for the investigation of the interactions of glycopeptide antibiotics with peptides that mimic the bacterial cell wall binding site. We focus particularly on the effect of the sugar moieties attached to the antibiotic peptide backbone and on the noncovalent dimerization of these glycopeptide antibiotics.

Abstract
The conformational stability of vancomycin group antibiotics (i.e., vancomycin and avoparcin) in aqueous solution has been studied. These complex glycopeptide antibiotics contain many chiral centers allowing the potential formation of stereoisomers. Using capillary electrophoresis these stereoisomers could be separated and detected by UV and/or mass spectrometry. Fresh aqueous samples of both vancomycin and avoparcin already contained a plethora of stereoisomers. Thermal degradation of the antibiotics was studied as well. For vancomycin thermal degradation led primarily to the formation of CDP-I and aglycons. In the case of avoparcin thermal degradation led mainly to the interconversion between stereoisomers. These antibiotic stereoisomers may exhibit different antibacterial efficacy. Solution-phase association constants of fresh and heated samples of these antibiotics and their bacterial cell wall mimicking receptors were determined by bioaffinity mass spectrometry and revealed that the heated samples exhibited, in general, a lower affinity. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (Micrococcus flavus) were determined and confirmed the decrease in antibacterial efficacy upon heating.

Abstract
Glucose-substituted imidazolidinones related to the endogenous opioid peptide leucine-enkephalin have been investigated using fast atom bombardment tandem mass spectrometry (FAB-MS/MS) and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). In addition to Amadori compounds, the studied imidazolidinones represent a novel type of the early glycation products formed in the Maillard reaction. To obtain insight into the fragmentation behavior of these carbohydrate-peptide adducts, we also studied synthetic precursors of the glucose-substituted imidazolidinones as well as the corresponding isopropylidene derivatives. The collision-induced dissociation (CID) spectra of [M + H](+) ions of all these imidazolidinones have been compared. Detailed analysis showed that fragmentation of each compound generates two ions at m/z 566 and m/z 598 which are characteristic and undoubtedly confirm the imidazolidinone-type structure. These two significant ions were identified as the M + 10 and M + 42 modifications of the N-terminus of the parent opioid pentapeptide effected by the carbohydrate moiety. Furthermore, the ion at m/z 178 is identified as the M + 42 modification of the immonium ion of the N-terminal amino acid (tyrosine) also effected by the carbohydrate moiety. They can be used as diagnostic ions for imidazolidinone-type compounds in studying the Maillard reaction. Thus, we have demonstrated the utility of FAB-MS/MS and ESI-MS/MS in the structural determination and identification of such novel peptide-carbohydrate adducts, useful in understanding the details of the mechanism of non-enzymatic glycation in vivo.
