A chiral derivatization strategy with phenylglycine methyl ester (PGME) was employed to develop a straightforward method to determine the absolute configurations of ,-dimethyl amino acids. The PGME derivatives were analyzed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to identify the absolute configurations of various ,-dimethyl amino acids based on their elution time and order. The established method was applied to assign the absolute configuration of the ,-dimethyl phenylalanine in sanjoinine A (), a cyclopeptide alkaloid isolated from Zizyphi Spinosi Semen widely used as herbal medicine for insomnia. Sanjoinine A displayed production of nitric oxide (NO) in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 cells.
采用一种以苯甘氨酸甲酯(PGME)为手性衍生化试剂的策略,开发了一种直接测定α,α-二甲基氨基酸绝对构型的方法。通过液相色谱-质谱联用分析PGME衍生物,根据其洗脱时间和顺序确定各种α,α-二甲基氨基酸的绝对构型。所建立的方法用于确定酸枣仁中分离得到的环肽生物碱酸枣仁碱A()中α,α-二甲基苯丙氨酸的绝对构型,酸枣仁广泛用作治疗失眠的草药。酸枣仁碱A在脂多糖激活的RAW 264.7细胞中表现出一氧化氮(NO)的产生。
