The self-assembly and hydrogelation properties of two Fmoc-tripeptides [Fmoc = N-(fluorenyl-9-methoxycarbonyl)] are investigated, in borate buffer and other basic solutions. A remarkable difference in self-assembly properties is observed comparing Fmoc-VLK(Boc) with Fmoc-K(Boc)LV, both containing K protected by N(epsilon)-tert-butyloxycarbonate (Boc). In

This report demonstrates that NPC-15199 [(N-(9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl)L-leucine)], a novel anti-inflammatory agent, increases intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in human bladder female transitional cancer (BFTC) cells. Using fura-2 as a Ca2+ probe, NPC-15199 (0.1-2 mM) was found to increase [Ca2+]i concentration-dependently. The response

Anti-inflammatory properties have been ascribed to a series of N-(fluorenyl-9-methoxycarbonyl) amino acids called leumedins that inhibit the activity of granulocytes and T-lymphocytes. We evaluated one of these leumedins, N-(fluorenyl-9-methoxycarbonyl) leucine (NPC 15199), in a model of ileitis in guinea pigs.

Two types of therapeutic agents, which have discrete yet complementary functions, self-assemble into nanofibers in water to formulate a new supramolecular hydrogel as a self-delivery biomaterial to reduce the toxicity of uranyl oxide at the wound sites.

In Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, effect of NPC-15199 on intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was investigated by using fura-2. NPC-15199 (100-1000 microM) caused a rapid and sustained increase of [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner (EC50=500 microM). NPC-15199-induced [Ca2+]i rise was
