Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative condition with complex pathophysiology. Aggregated amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide plaques and higher concentrations of bio-metals such as copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe) are the most significant hallmarks of AD observed in the brains of AD patients. Therefore simultaneous inhibition of Aβ peptide aggregation and reduction of metal stress may serve as an effective therapeutic approach for treating Alzheimer's disease. A series of bifunctional dipeptides bearing squaramide backbone were synthesized and investigated for their ability to chelate metal ions and prevent Aβ peptide aggregation. Dipeptides with Valine (V) and Threonine (T) substitutions at the C-terminus exhibited preferential chelation with Cu(II), Zn(II), and Fe(III) metal ions in the presence of other metal ions. They were also found to inhibit the aggregation of Aβ peptide in-vitro. A further molecular dynamics (MD) simulation study demonstrated that these two dipeptides interact with the Aβ peptide in the hydrophobic core (KLVFF) region. Circular dichroism (CD) study revealed slight conformational change in the Aβ peptide upon the interactions with dipeptides. Apart from metal chelation and inhibition of Aβ peptide aggregation, the selected dipeptides were found to possess anti-oxidant properties. Therefore, the squaramide backbone-modified dipeptides may serve as an active bifunctional scaffold towards the development of new chemical entities for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Phosphonate natural products have a history of successful application in medicine and biotechnology due to their ability to inhibit essential cellular pathways. This has inspired efforts to discover phosphonate natural products by prioritizing microbial strains whose genomes encode uncharacterized biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). Thus, success in genome mining is dependent on establishing the fundamental principles underlying the biosynthesis of inhibitory chemical moieties to facilitate accurate prediction of BGCs and the bioactivities of their products. Here, we report the complete biosynthetic pathway for the argolaphos phosphonopeptides. We uncovered the biochemical origins of aminomethylphosphonate (AMPn) and Nε-hydroxyarginine, two noncanonical amino acids integral to the antimicrobial function of argolaphos. Critical to this pathway were dehydrogenase and transaminase enzymes dedicated to the conversion of hydroxymethylphosphonate to AMPn. The interconnected activities of both enzymes provided a solution to overcome unfavorable energetics, empower cofactor regeneration, and mediate intermediate toxicity during these transformations. Sequential ligation of l-arginine and l-valine was afforded by two GCN5-related N-acetyltransferases in a tRNA-dependent manner. AglA was revealed to be an unusual heme-dependent monooxygenase that hydroxylated the Nε position of AMPn-Arg. As the first biochemically characterized member of the YqcI/YcgG protein family, AglA enlightens the potential functions of this elusive group, which remains biochemically distinct from the well-established P450 monooxygenases. The widespread distribution of AMPn and YqcI/YcgG genes among actinobacterial genomes suggests their involvement in diverse metabolic pathways and cellular functions. Our findings illuminate new paradigms in natural product biosynthesis and realize a significant trove of AmPn and Nε-hydroxyarginine natural products that await discovery.

chemistry protocol for various organic transformations, which employ natural feedstock extracts,
and solvent-free, and greener catalysts; they are well known for their non-hazardous nature and
have replaced many organic and inorganic based catalysts. In literature, the reported homogenous
catalytic approaches have been employed for various bioactive heterocycle syntheses, which follow
the green chemistry principle established for various organic transformations catalyzed by
WERSA, BFE, WEPPA, WEMFSA, WEMPA, and Eichhorniacrassipes. Among them, 2-aryl benzimidazole
derivatives have emerged as prominent molecules with a wide variety of applications in
biological and material science.

The agro-waste sourced from the banana peel is utilized for the preparation of BPAE catalyst,
which is employed for the synthesis of 2-aryl benzimidazole derivatives under ultrasound
waves at room temperature.
Results:
Here, 2-Aryl benzimidazoles synthesized through the reaction of a substituted o-phenylene
diamine with substituted benzoyl chloride catalyzed by BPAE under ultrasound waves at
room temperature are described. Furthermore, catalyst BPAE is characterized by flame emission
spectrometry, SEM-EDX, and XRD techniques.
Conclusion:
The present work established an eco-friendly, sustainable and novel approach for the
synthesis of 2-aryl benzimidazoles using natural feedstock BPAE. The major merits of BPAE include
its use as an agro-waste-derived catalyst. It is also highly abundant, inexpensive, yields faster
reactions, has a simple workup, and does not require the use of column chromatography.

Abstract
NMDA receptors are important elements in pain signaling in the spinal cord dorsal horn. They are heterotetramers, typically composed of two GluN1 and two of four GluN2 subunits: GluN2A-2D. Mice lacking some of the GluN2 subunits show deficits in pain transmission yet functional synaptic localization of these receptor subtypes in the dorsal horn has not been fully resolved. In this study, we have investigated the composition of synaptic NMDA receptors expressed in monosynaptic and polysynaptic pathways from peripheral sensory fibers to lamina I neurons in rats. We focused on substance P receptor-expressing (NK1R+) projection neurons, critical for expression of hyperalgesia and allodynia. EAB-318 and (R)-CPP, GluN2A/B antagonists, blocked both monosynaptic and polysynaptic NMDA EPSCs initiated by primary afferent activation by ∼90%. Physiological measurements exploiting the voltage dependence of monosynaptic EPSCs similarly indicated dominant expression of GluN2A/B types of synaptic NMDA receptors. In addition, at synapses between C fibers and NK1R+ neurons, NMDA receptor activation initiated a secondary, depolarizing current. Ifenprodil, a GluN2B antagonist, caused modest suppression of monosynaptic NMDA EPSC amplitudes, but had a widely variable, sometimes powerful, effect on polysynaptic responses following primary afferent stimulation when inhibitory inputs were blocked to mimic neuropathic pain. We conclude that GluN2B subunits are moderately expressed at primary afferent synapses on lamina I NK1R+ neurons, but play more important roles for polysynaptic NMDA EPSCs driven by primary afferents following disinhibition, supporting the view that the analgesic effect of the GluN2B antagonist on neuropathic pain is at least in part, within the spinal cord.

Abstract
NR1/NR2A is a subtype of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs), which are glutamate and glycine-gated Ca(2+)-permeable channels highly expressed in the central nervous system. A high-throughput screening (HTS) campaign using human osteosarcoma (U-2 OS) cells transiently transduced with NR1/NR2A NMDAR subunits, tested in a specifically designed fluorometric imaging plate reader (FLIPR)/Ca(2+) assay, identified sulfonamide derivative series, exemplified by 3-chloro-4-fluoro-N-[(4-{[2-(phenylcarbonyl)hydrazino]carbonyl}phenyl)methyl]benzenesulfonamide (compound 1) and thiodiazole derivative N-(cyclohexylmethyl)-2-({5-[(phenylmethyl)amino]-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl}thio)acetamide (compound 13) as novel NR1/NR2A receptor antagonists. Compounds 1 and 13 displayed submicromolar and micromolar potency at NR1/NR2A receptor, respectively, although they did not show activity at NR2B-containing receptor up to 50 μM concentration. Addition of 1 mM glycine, but not 1 mM l-glutamate, was able to surmount compound 1 and 13 inhibitory effects in FLIPR NR1/NR2A assay. However, compounds 1 and 13 displaced a glutamate site antagonist [(3)H]d,l-(E)-2-amino-4-propyl-5-phosphono-3-pentenoic acid ([(3)H]CGP 39653) to a greater extent than the glycine site antagonist [(3)H]3-[(E)-2-carboxy-2-phenylethenyl]-4,6-dichloro-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid ([(3)H]MDL 105,519), in rat brain cortex binding assay. Results of FLIPR cell-based, electrophysiological, and biochemical binding assays suggest that compounds 1 and 13 are the prototypes of novel classes of NMDAR ligands, which to the best of our knowledge are the first selective antagonists at NR1/NR2A over NR1/NR2B receptor, and might constitute useful tools able to elucidate the relative role of the NR2A subunit in physiological and pathological conditions.

Abstract
N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) mediated excitotoxicity is a probable proximate mechanism of neurodegeneration in Huntington disease (HD). Striatal neurons express the NR2B-NMDAR subunit at high levels, and this subunit is thought to be instrumental in causing excitotoxic striatal neuron injury. We evaluated the efficacy of 3 NR2B-selective antagonists in the R6/2 transgenic fragment model of HD. We evaluated ifenprodil (10 mg/kg; 100 mg/kg), RO25,6981 (10 mg/kg), and CP101,606 (30 mg/kg). Doses were chosen on the basis of pilot acute maximally tolerated dose studies. Mice were treated with subcutaneous injections twice daily. Outcomes included survival; motor performance declines assessed with the rotarod, balance beam task, and activity measurements; and post-mortem striatal volumes. No outcome measure demonstrated any benefit of treatments. Lack of efficacy of NR2B antagonists in the R6/2 model has several possible explanations including blockade of beneficial NMDAR mediated effects, inadequacy of the R6/2 model, and the existence of multiple proximate mechanisms of neurodegeneration in HD.

Abstract
Background NMDA receptors expressed by spinal cord neurons in the superficial dorsal horn are involved in the development of chronic pain associated with inflammation and nerve injury. The superficial dorsal horn has a complex and still poorly understood circuitry that is mainly populated by inhibitory and excitatory interneurons. Little is known about how NMDA receptor subunit composition, and therefore pharmacology and voltage dependence, varies with neuronal cell type. NMDA receptors are typically composed of two NR1 subunits and two of four NR2 subunits, NR2A-2D. We took advantage of the differences in Mg2+ sensitivity of the NMDA receptor subtypes together with subtype preferring antagonists to identify the NR2 subunit composition of NMDA receptors expressed on lamina II inhibitory and excitatory interneurons. To distinguish between excitatory and inhibitory interneurons, we used transgenic mice expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein driven by the GAD67 promoter. Results Analysis of conductance ratio and selective antagonists showed that lamina II GABAergic interneurons express both the NR2A/B containing Mg2+ sensitive receptors and the NR2C/D containing NMDA receptors with less Mg2+ sensitivity. In contrast, excitatory lamina II interneurons express primarily NR2A/B containing receptors. Despite this clear difference in NMDA receptor subunit expression in the two neuronal populations, focally stimulated synaptic input is mediated exclusively by NR2A and 2B containing receptors in both neuronal populations. Conclusions Stronger expression of NMDA receptors with NR2C/D subunits by inhibitory interneurons compared to excitatory interneurons may provide a mechanism to selectively increase activity of inhibitory neurons during intense excitatory drive that can provide inhibitory feedback.

Abstract
NMDA receptors are important elements in pain signaling in the spinal cord dorsal horn. They are heterotetramers typically composed of two NR1 and two of four NR2 subunits: NR2A-2D. Mice lacking specific NR2 subunits show deficits in pain transmission yet subunit location in the spinal cord remains unclear. We have combined electrophysiological and pharmacological approaches to investigate the composition of functional NMDA receptors expressed by lamina I, substance P receptor-expressing (NK1R+) neurons, as well as NK1R- neurons. Under low Mg2+ conditions (100 μM), the conductance of NMDA receptors at -90 mV (g(-90 mV)) with NR2A or NR2B subunits (NR2A/B) is low compared to conductance measured at the membrane potential where the inward current is maximal or maximal inward current (MIC) (ratio of ~0.07 calculated from Kuner and Schoepfer, 1996). For NR2C or NR2D subunits (NR2C/D), the ratio is higher (ratio ~0.4). NK1R+ and NK1R- neurons express NMDA receptors that give ratios ~0.28 and 0.16, respectively, suggesting both types of subunits are present in both populations of neurons, with NK1R+ neurons expressing a higher percentage of NR2C/D type NMDA receptors. This was confirmed using EAB318, an NR2A/B preferring antagonist, and UBP141, a mildly selective NR2C/D antagonist to increase and decrease the g(-90 mV)/g(MIC) ratios in both subpopulations of neurons.

Abstract
[structure: see text] A series of squaric acid-peptide conjugates were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of MMP-1. The cyclobut-3-enedione core was substituted at the 3-position with several functional groups, such as -N(alkyl)OH, -NHOH, and -OH, that are designed to bind to the zinc atom in the active site of the metalloprotease. The 4-position of the cyclobut-3-enedione was derivatized with mono- or dipeptides that are designed to bind in the S1' and S2' subsites of the enzyme, and position the metal chelating group appropriately in the active site for binding to zinc. Positional scanning revealed that -N(Me)OH provided the highest level of inhibition among the chelating groups that were tested, and Leu-Tle-NHMe was the preferred amino acid sequence. A combination of these groups yielded an inhibitor with an IC50 value of 95 microM. For one inhibitor, conversion of one of the carbonyl groups on the cyclobut-3-enedione core to a thiocarbonyl group resulted in a 18-fold increase in potency, and yielded a compound with an IC50 value of 15 microM.

Abstract
Perfusion of acute hippocampal slices with stimulatory buffers has long been known to induce rhythmic, large amplitude, synchronized spontaneous neuronal bursting in areas CA1 and CA3. The characteristics of this model of neuronal hyperexcitability were investigated in this study, particularly with respect to the activity of antiepileptic drugs and compounds representing novel mechanisms of analgesic action. Toward that end, low Mg(2+)/high K(+)-induced spontaneous activity was quantified by a virtual instrument designed for the digitization and analysis of bursting activity. Uninterrupted streams of extracellular field potentials were digitized and analyzed in 10-s sweeps, yielding four quantified parameters of neuronal hyperexcitability. Following characterization of the temporal stability of low Mg(2+)/high K(+)-induced hyperexcitability, compounds representing a diversity of functional mechanisms were tested for their effectiveness in reversing this activity. Of the four antiepileptic drugs tested in this model, only phenytoin proved ineffective, while valproate, gabapentin and carbamazepine varied in their potencies, with only the latter drug proving to be completely efficacious. In addition, three investigational compounds having analgesic potential were examined: ZD-7288, a blocker of HCN channels; EAA-090, an NMDA antagonist; and WAY-132983, a muscarinic agonist. Each of these compounds showed strong efficacy by completely blocking spontaneous bursting activity, along with potency greater than that of the antiepileptic drugs. These data indicate that pharmacological agents with varying mechanisms of action are able to block low Mg(2+)/high K(+)-induced hyperexcitability, and thus this model may represent a useful tool for identifying novel agents and mechanisms involved in epilepsy and neuropathic pain.

Abstract
Perzinfotel [EAA-090; [2-(8,9-dioxo-2,6-diazabicyclo[5.2.0]non-1(7)-en-2-yl)-ethyl]phosphonic acid] is a selective, competitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist with high affinity for the glutamate site. The current study evaluated whether perzinfotel would have antinociceptive effects or block thermal hypersensitivity associated with the administration of chemical irritants in rats. Perzinfotel lacked antinociceptive effects but dose- and time-dependently blocked prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2))- and capsaicin-induced thermal hypersensitivity in a warm-water tail-withdrawal assay in rats. Doses of 10 mg/kg intraperitoneal or 100 mg/kg oral blocked PGE(2)-induced hypersensitivity by 60 to 80%. The magnitude of reversal was greater than other negative modulators of the NMDA receptor studied, such as uncompetitive channel blockers (e.g., memantine, dizocilpine, and ketamine), a NR2B selective antagonist (e.g., ifenprodil), and other glutamate antagonists [e.g., selfotel, 3-(2-carboxypiperazin-4-yl)propyl-1-phosphonic acid (CPP), D,L-(E)-2-amino-4-propyl-5-phosphono-3-pentenoic acid (CGP-39653)], up to doses that suppressed operant rates of responding. In contrast to other negative modulators of the NMDA receptor studied, which typically decreased operant rates of responding at doses that lacked antinociceptive effects, perzinfotel did not modify response rates at doses that blocked irritant-induced thermal hypersensitivity. Collectively, these studies demonstrate that perzinfotel has therapeutic ratios for effectiveness versus adverse effects superior to those seen with other competitive and uncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonists studied.
