Marinova P, Tamahkyarova K. Synthesis and Biological Activities of Some Metal Complexes of Peptides: A Review. BIOTECH 2024; 13:9.

Abstract
Peptides, both natural and synthetic, are well suited for a wide range of purposes and offer versatile applications in different fields such as biocatalysts, injectable hydrogels, tumor treatment, and drug delivery. The research of the better part of the cited papers was conducted using various database platforms such as MetalPDB. The rising prominence of therapeutic peptides encompasses anticancer, antiviral, antimicrobial, and anti-neurodegenerative properties. The metals Na, K, Mg, Ca, Fe, Mn, Co, Cu, Zn, and Mo are ten of the twenty elements that are considered essential for life. Crucial for understanding the biological role of metals is the exploration of metal-bound proteins and peptides. Aside from essential metals, there are other non-essential metals that also interact biologically, exhibiting either therapeutic or toxic effects. Irregularities in metal binding contribute to diseases like Alzheimer's, neurodegenerative disorders, Wilson's, and Menkes disease. Certain metal complexes have potential applications as radiopharmaceuticals. The examination of these complexes was achieved by preforming UV-Vis, IR, EPR, NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray analysis. This summary, although unable to cover all of the studies in the field, offers a review of the ongoing experimentation and is a basis for new ideas, as well as strategies to explore and gain knowledge from the extensive realm of peptide-chelated metals and biotechnologies.

Abstract
Selective molecular recognition of hydrophilic guests in water plays a fundamental role in a vast number of biological processes, but synthetic mimicry of biomolecular recognition in water still proves challenging both in terms of achieving comparable affinities and selectivities. This Review highlights strategies that have been developed in the field of supramolecular chemistry to selectively and non-covalently bind three classes of biologically relevant molecules: nucleotides, carbohydrates, and amino acids. As several groups have systematically modified receptors for a specific guest, an evolutionary perspective is also provided in some cases. Trends in the most effective binding forces for each class are described, providing insight into selectivity and potential directions for future work.

Abstract
In this study, 3,4,5-trisubstituted piperidines were synthesized enantioselectively, and their antioxidant activity was evaluated. The 3,4,5-trisubstituted piperidines containing TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl) and a spatially proximal hydroxy group showed good antioxidant activity. Some of these compounds showed IC50 values in a nanomolar range, comparable to that of TEMPO. Probably the TEMPO generated from the homolysis of the CON bond of 3,4,5-trisubstituted piperidines functions as a radical-scavenging entity, and the hydroxy group of piperidines has a synergistic effect to the antioxidant activity.

Abstract
Dicyanomethylene-4H-pyran (DCM) chromophores are typical donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) type chromophores with a broad absorption band resulting from an ultra-fast internal charge-transfer (ICT) process. In 1989, Tang et al. firstly introduced a DCM derivative as a highly fluorescent dopant in organic electroluminescent diodes (OLEDs). Integration of ICT chromophore-receptor systems based on DCM chromophores with ion-induced shifts in absorption or emission is a convenient method to perform the logic expression for molecular logic gates. In recent years, various DCM-type derivatives have been explored due to their excellent optical-electronic properties and diverse structural modification. This feature article provides an insight into how the structural modification of DCM chromophores can be utilized for OLED emitters, logic gates and optical chemosensors. In addition, the aggregation-induced-emission (AIE) of DCM derivatives for further optical applications was also introduced.

Abstract
A set of macrocycles was generated by solid phase synthesis of linear trimers of 5-aminoacyl-3-aminomethyl-benzoates followed by resin cleavage and solution phase macrocyclization. These scaffolds can serve as useful building blocks for molecular recognition studies, especially where differentially functionalized molecular platforms spanning large surface areas are required.

Abstract
A new class of receptor is described that can selectively bind to the solvent exposed surface of proteins such as cytochrome c and lysozyme with low micromolar affinity over cytochrome c551, alpha-lactalbumin, myoglobin and RNase A, under physiologically relevant conditions (5 mM phosphate, pH 7.4). The use of anthracene as a hydrophobic scaffold allows the receptor to act as a selective chemosensor via fluorescence quenching or FRET. The study reveals that co-operative electrostatic interactions over a large surface area dominate binding. Further investigations reveal that the receptor binds to the solvent exposed heme edge of cytochrome c inhibiting its reaction with small reducing agents and validating the strategy for the disruption of protein function.

Abstract
In this study, two different experimental approaches have been employed to examine the binding behavior of histidine-containing peptides with metal ion complexes derived from the macrocyclic ligand 1,4,7-triazacyclononane (tacn). Firstly, a molecular modeling approach has been employed to derive the strain energies for test peptide sequences that have a predicted propensity to readily adopt an alpha-helical conformation. To this end, binuclear metal complexes were examined with peptides containing two histidine residues in different locations in a pair of peptides of the same composition but different sequence. These modeling results indicate that there are no energetic constraints for two-point binding to occur with dicopper(II) binuclear complexes when two histidine residues are appropriately placed in an alpha-helical conformation. Secondly, binding experiments were carried out to establish the effect of one or more histidine residues within a peptide sequence on the affinity of a peptide for these Cu(II)-tacn derived binuclear complexes when immobilized onto a chromatographic support material. The results confirm that for all chelating systems, higher affinity is achieved as the histidine number in the peptide structure increases, although the relative location of the histidine residues in these small peptides did not introduce a significant constraint to the conformation on interacting with the immobilized Cu(II) binuclear complexes.

Abstract
Crown ethers of suitable size are the perfect artificial host compounds for ammonium ion binding, but the rather low affinity in aqueous solution prevents their use at physiological conditions. We report here the synthesis and properties of a luminescent benzo crown ether with a pendant copper imidodiacetic acid complex, which coordinates with high affinity to histidine. The emission intensity of the benzo crown ether increases significantly in the presence of ammonium ions in methanol. At physiological conditions in buffered water at pH 7.5 these interactions are too weak to be detected. If an ammonium ion and an imidazole moiety are present in the analyte, such as in His-Lys-OMe or His-OMe, high binding affinity in aqueous solution is restored. The binding event is signaled by an increase in emission intensity, which can even be observed with the naked eye. This allows the selective detection of small peptides containing N-terminal histidine or histidine among all other amino acids at physiological conditions.
