All metabolite reference standards underwent a two-step derivatization procedure. Therefore 1 mg of each standard was dissolved in a solution of 1 ml methanol:water:isopropanol (2.5:1:1 v/v). Then 10 μl of each standard solution were taken out and evaporated to dryness. First, methoximation was performed to inhibit the ring formation of reducing sugars, protecting also all other aldehydes and ketones. A solution of 40 mg/ml O-methylhydroxylamine hydrochloride, (CAS: [593-56-6]; Formula CH5NO.HCl; Sigma-Aldrich No. 226904 (98%)) in pyridine (99.99%) was prepared. The dried standards and 10 μl of the O-methylhydroxylamine reagent solution were mixed for 30 s in a vortex mixer and subsequently shaken for 90 minutes at 30°C. Afterwards, 90μl of N-methyl-N-trimethylsilyltrifluoroacetamide (MSTFA) with 1% trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) (1 ml bottles, Pierce, Rockford IL) was added and shaken at 37°C for 30 min for trimethylsilylation of acidic protons to increase volatility of metabolites. A mixture of internal retention index (RI) markers was prepared using fatty acid methyl esters (FAME markers) of C8, C9, C10, C12, C14, C16, C18, C20, C22, C24, C26, C28 and C30 linear chain length, dissolved in chloroform at a concentration of 0.8 mg/ml (C8-C16) and 0.4 mg/ml (C18-C30). 2 μl of this RI mixture were added to the reagent solutions, transferred to 2 mL glass crimp amber autosampler vials. Data acquisition parameters are given in table 1. Subsequent to data processing using the instrument manufacturer’s software programs, spectra and retention indices were manually curated into the new Leco FiehnLib (359-008-100) or automatically transferred by Agilent to the new Agilent FiehnLib (G1676AA).

The Methods section is divided into three subsections. In the first, lipid molecule and atom names are briefly reviewed to avoid confusion among several commonly used conventions. Section 2.2 describes the QM methods used in justifying modifications to the partial charges for certain atoms in the head group of the lipid molecules along with the optimization procedure used to produce optimized non-bond parameters for the ester moieties in the glycerol linker region. This subsection also describes the QM methods used to obtain highly accurate torsional profiles for certain head group and alkene dihedrals. The Section 2.3 describes the methods used in the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.

The adult brain slice method we have described has been successfully implemented in a variety of experimental contexts for analysis of diverse brain regions and cell types. However, we would encourage adopters to view this method as a work in progress, and we believe there is still substantial room for systematic improvement. As a case in point, we have observed that mature adult brain slices experience high levels of oxidative stress due in large part to rapid depletion of cellular antioxidants including ascorbate and reduced glutathione (GSH). This can lead to lipid peroxidation, neuronal membrane rigidity, and tissue deterioration. There appears to be a nonuniform susceptibility to this form of oxidative damage, for example, CA1 and CA3 pyramidal neurons are particularly vulnerable, making patch clamp recording of these cells difficult in brain slices from adult and aging animals in spite of the protective recovery method.
The specific restoration of intracellular pools of neuronal GSH (e.g. supplementation with the cell-permeable GSH-ethyl ester) is highly effective at curbing deterioration and prolonging slice viability under these circumstances. Thus, we have been able to further improve the NMDG recovery method by devising strategies for stimulating de novo synthesis of glutathione during acute brain slice preparation and incubation. This is most readily accomplished by adding the inexpensive GSH precursor N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC, 5–12 mM) to the NMDG aCSF and HEPES holding aCSF formulas, but not the recording aCSF (seeNote 14). NAC is cell-permeable and has been shown to specifically increase neuronal glutathione levels in brain tissue (26 (link)). Within 1–2 hours of slice preparation we are able to observe notable improvements in the general appearance of neurons and in the ease of patch clamp recording, and the slices are able to be maintained in a healthy state for extended time periods.
Although these more advanced methods are not absolutely required for successful adult brain slice patch clamp recordings (as demonstrated by the specific application we have described in this chapter), we include this information in hopes of providing more options to extend the versatility of our method for particularly challenging applications. Glutathione restoration is highly effective at maintaining healthy brain slices but may not be appropriate in every experimental context, e.g. investigations focusing on oxidative stress in the aging brain. On the other hand, without implementing the NMDG protective recovery method together with glutathione restoration strategy, targeted patch clamp analysis in brain slices from very old animals is prohibitively challenging.

Example 1

<Step (A): Synthesis of porous particle having glycidyl group>

27.8 g of glycidyl methacrylate (trade name: Blemmer G (registered trademark) manufactured by NOF Corporation), 11.3 g of glycerin-1,3-dimethacrylate (trade name: NK Ester 701, SHIN-NAKAMURA CHEMICAL Co., Ltd.), and 1.9 g of 2,2′-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) were dissolved in 58.7 g of diethyl succinate as a diluent, and nitrogen gas was bubbled for 30 minutes to provide an oil phase.

Next, separately from the oil phase, 10.0 g of PVA-224 (manufactured by Kuraray Co., Ltd., polyvinyl alcohol having a degree of saponification of 87.0% to 89.0%) as a dispersion stabilizer and 10.0 g of sodium chloride as a salting-out agent were dissolved in 480 g of ion exchanged water to provide an aqueous phase.

The aqueous phase and the oil phase were placed in a separable flask and dispersed at a rotation speed of 430 rpm for 20 minutes using a stirring rod equipped with a half-moon stirring blade, then the inside of the reactor was purged with nitrogen, and the reaction was carried out at 60° C. for 16 hours.

After that, the resulting polymer was transferred onto a glass filter and thoroughly washed with hot water at about 50 to 80° C., denatured alcohol, and water in the order presented to obtain 100.4 g of a porous particle (carrier al).

The amount of glycidyl methacrylate used was 79.8 mol % based on the total amount of the monomers, and the amount of glycerin-1,3-dimethacrylate used was 20.2 mol % based on the total amount of the monomers.

<Step (B): Introduction reaction of alkylene group>

98 g of the carrier α1 was weighed onto a glass filter and thoroughly cleaned with diethylene glycol dimethyl ether. After cleaning, the carrier α1 was placed in a 1 L separable flask, 150 g of diethylene glycol dimethyl ether and 150 g (920 mol % based on glycidyl methacrylate) of 1,4-butanediol were placed in the separable flask, and stirring and dispersion were carried out.

After that, 1.5 ml of a boron trifluoride diethyl ether complex was added, the temperature was raised to 80° C. while stirring at 200 rpm, and the resulting mixture was subjected to the reaction for 4 hours.

The mixture was cooled, then the porous particle (carrier β1) bonded to a diol compound including an alkylene group in the structure thereof was collected by filtration and then washed with 1 L of ion exchanged water to obtain 152 g of a carrier β1.

The progress of the reaction was confirmed by the following procedure.

A part of the dry porous particle into which an alkylene group had been introduced was mixed with potassium bromide, and the resulting mixture was pelletized by applying a pressure and then measured using FT-IR (trade name: Nicolet (registered trademark) iS10, manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.) to check the height of an absorbance peak at 908 cm−1 due to the glycidyl group in the infrared absorption spectrum.

As a result, no absorbance peak at 908 cm−1 was observed by FT-IR.

<Step (C): Introduction Reaction of Glycidyl Group>

150 g of the carrier β1 was weighed onto a glass filter and thoroughly cleaned with dimethylsulfoxide.

After cleaning, the carrier β1 was placed in a separable flask, 262.5 g of dimethyl sulfoxide and 150 g of epichlorohydrin were added, the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature, 37.5 ml of a 30% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution (manufactured by KANTO CHEMICAL CO., INC.) was further added, and the resulting mixture was heated to 30° C. and stirred for 6 hours.

After completion of the reaction, the obtained product was transferred onto a glass filter and thoroughly washed with water, acetone, and water in the order presented to obtain 172 g of a porous particle into which a glycidyl group had been introduced (carrier γ1).

The introduction density of the glycidyl group in the obtained carrier γ1 was measured by the following procedure.

5.0 g of the carrier γ1 was sampled, and the dry mass thereof was measured and as a result, found to be 1.47 g. Next, the same amount of the carrier γ1 was weighed into a separable flask and dispersed in 40 g of water, 16 mL of diethylamine was added while stirring at room temperature, and the resulting mixture was heated to 50° C. and stirred for 4 hours. After completion of the reaction, the reaction product was transferred onto a glass filter and thoroughly washed with water to obtain a porous particle A into which diethylamine had been introduced.

The obtained porous particle A was transferred into a beaker and dispersed in 150 mL of a 0.5 mol/L potassium chloride aqueous solution, and titration was carried out using 0.1 mol/L hydrochloric acid with the point at which the pH reached 4.0 as the neutralization point.

From this, the amount of diethylamine introduced into the porous particle A into which diethylamine had been introduced was calculated, and the density of the glycidyl group of the carrier γ1 was calculated from the following expression.

As a result, the density of the glycidyl group was 880 μmol/g.
Density(μmol/g) of glycidyl group={0.1×volume(μL) of hydrochloric acid at neutralization point/dry mass(g) of porous particle into which glycidyl group has been introduced}<Step (D): Introduction Reaction of Polyol>

150 g of the carrier γ1, 600 mL of water, and 1000 g (13000 mol % based on glycidyl group) of D-sorbitol (log P=−2.20, manufactured by KANTO CHEMICAL CO., INC.) were placed in a 3 L separable flask and stirred to form a dispersion.

After that, 10 g of potassium hydroxide was added, the temperature was raised to 60° C. while stirring at 200 rpm, and the resulting mixture was subjected to the reaction for 15 hours.

The mixture was cooled, and then the reaction product was collected by filtration and washed thoroughly with water to obtain 152 g of a porous particle into which polyol had been introduced (carrier 61).

The obtained carrier 61 was classified into 16 to 37 μm using a sieve to obtain 140.5 g of a packing material 1.

<Evaluation of Alkali Resistance>

The alkali resistance was evaluated by calculating the amount of a carboxy group produced by hydrolysis of sodium hydroxide according to the following procedure.

First, 4 g of the packing material was dispersed in 150 mL of a 0.5 mol/L potassium chloride aqueous solution, and titration was carried out using 0.1 mol/L sodium hydroxide aqueous solution with the point at which the pH reached 7.0 as the neutralization point. From this, the amount of a carboxy group before hydrolysis included in the packing material was calculated from the following expression.
Amount(μmol/mL) of carboxy group=0.1×volume(μL) of sodium hydroxide aqueous solution at the time of neutralization/apparent volume (mL) of packing material

Here, the apparent volume of the packing material is the volume of the packing material phase measured after preparing a slurry liquid by dispersing 4 g of the packing material in water, transferring the slurry liquid to a graduated cylinder, and then allowing the same to stand for a sufficient time.

Subsequently, 4 g of the packing material was weighed into a separable flask, 20 mL of a 5 mol/L sodium hydroxide aqueous solution was added, and the resulting mixture was treated at 50° C. for 20 hours while stirring at 200 rpm. The mixture was cooled, then the packing material was collected by filtration, then washed with a 0.1 mol/L HCl aqueous solution and water in the order presented, and the amount of a carboxy group contained in the obtained packing material was calculated by the same method as above. From the difference between the amount of a carboxy group before and that after the reaction with the 5 mol/L sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, the amount of a carboxy group produced by the reaction with the 5 mol/L sodium hydroxide aqueous solution was calculated. As a result, the amount of a carboxy group produced was 21 μmol/mL.

If the amount of a carboxy group produced is 40 μmol/mL or less, the alkali resistance is considered to be high.

<Evaluation of Non-Specific Adsorption>

The obtained packing material was packed into a stainless steel column (manufactured by Sugiyama Shoji Co., Ltd.) having an inner diameter of 8 mm and a length of 300 mm by a balanced slurry method. Using the obtained column, a non-specific adsorption test was carried out by the method shown below.

The column packed with the packing material was connected to a Shimadzu Corporation HPLC system (liquid feed pump (trade name: LC-10AT, manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation), autosampler (trade name: SIL-10AF, manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation), and photodiode array detector (trade name: SPD-M10A, manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation)), and a 50 mmol/L sodium phosphate buffer aqueous solution as a mobile phase was passed at a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min.

Using the same sodium phosphate aqueous solution as the mobile phase as a solvent, their respective sample solutions of 0.7 mg/mL thyroglobulin (Mw of 6.7×105), 0.6 mg/mL γ-globulin (Mw of 1.6×105), 0.96 mg/mL BSA (Mw of 6.65×104), 0.7 mg/mL ribonuclease (Mw of 1.3×104), 0.4 mg/mL aprotinin (Mw of 6.5×103), and 0.02 mg/mL uridine (Mw of 244) (all manufactured by Merck Sigma-Aldrich) are prepared, and 10 μL of each is injected from the autosampler.

The elution time of each observed using the photodiode array detector at a wavelength of 280 nm was compared to confirm that there was no contradiction between the order of elution volume and the order of molecular weight size.

As a result, the elution volumes of the samples from the column packed with the packing material 1 were 8.713 mL, 9.691 mL, 9.743 mL, 10.396 mL, 11.053 mL, and 11.645 mL, and it was confirmed that there was no contradiction between the order of the molecular weights of the samples and the order of the elution volumes thereof and that no non-specific adsorption was induced. When there was no contradiction between the order of the molecular weights of the samples and the order of the elution volumes thereof, there was no non-specific adsorption, which is indicated as 0 in Table 1, and when there was a contradiction therebetween, non-specific adsorption was induced, which is thus indicated as X.

Results of the above Examples and Comparative Examples are shown in Table 1.

From the above results, by adopting the configuration of the present invention, a packing material having suppressed non-specific adsorption and high alkali resistance can be obtained.

When no hydrophobic portion is provided or when the alkylene chain is short, the alkali resistance is low as shown in Comparative Examples 1 and 2. In addition, it was found that when the alkylene chain is too long or when no hydrophilic portion is provided, the hydrophobicity is strong, and non-specific adsorption is induced as shown in Comparative Examples 3 and 4. In addition, in Comparative Example 5 having many repeating units derived from a polyfunctional monomer, it was found that non-specific adsorption was induced, and in Comparative Example 6 having fewer repeating units derived from a polyfunctional monomer, it was found that the back pressure applied to the apparatus was high, making column packing difficult.

Example 37

To improve inhibition potency relative to FAAH, various portions of the t-TUCB molecule were modified to identify potential FAAH pharmacophores. The 4-trifluoromethoxy group on t-TUCB was modified to the unsubstituted ring (A-3), 4-fluorophenyl (A-2) or 4-chlorophenyl (A-26). Potency on both sEH and FAAH increased as the size and hydrophobicity of the para position substituent increased, with 4-trifluoromethoxy being the most potent on both enzymes. Substituting the aromatic ring for a cyclohexane (A-3) or adamantane (A-4) resulted in a complete loss in activity against FAAH. Results are summarized in Table 1 below.

Next, the center portion of the molecule was modified to further investigate the specificity of t-TUCB on FAAH. Switching the cyclohexane linker to a cis conformation (A-5) resulted in a 20-fold loss of potency while removing the ring and replacing it with a butane chain (A-6) resulted in a completely inactive compound. While this suggests the compound must fit a relatively specific conformation in the active site to be active, we found the aromatic linker had essentially the same potency on FAAH (A-7). Although many potent urea-based FAAH inhibitors have a piperidine as the carbamoylating nitrogen, the modification to piperidine here reduced potency 13-fold. Results are summarized in Table 2 below.

Since none of the modifications at this point improved potency towards FAAH, we focused on the benzoic acid portion of the molecule as shown in Table 3. To determine the importance of the terminal acid, the corresponding aldehyde (A-20) and alcohol (A-24) in addition to the amide (A-19) and nitrile (A-11) were tested. While the amide had slightly improved potency, the more reduced forms of the acid (A-20 and A-24) and amide (A-11) had substantially less activity on FAAH. Converting the benzoic acid to a phenol (A-21) increased potency while the anisole (A-22) was completely inactive. Since the amide and acid appeared to be active, the amide bioisostere oxadiazole (A-25) was tested and had 38-fold less potency than the initial compound.

Since the substrates for FAAH tend to be relatively hydrophobic lipids, we speculated that conversion of the acid and primary amide to the corresponding esters or substituted amides would result in improved potency. The methyl ester (A-12) had 4-fold improved potency relative to the acid. Improving the bulk of the ester with an isopropyl group (A-13) results in a 11-fold loss in potency relative to the methyl ester. However, the similar potency of the benzyl ester (A-14) to the methyl ester demonstrates the bulk but not the size affects potency. Reversing the orientation of the ester (A-23) reduces the potency 3.4-fold. Relative to the primary amide, the methyl (A-18), ethanol (A-15) and glycyl (A-16) amides were all slightly less potent; however, the benzyl amide (A-27) was substantially less potent (16-fold). Generating the methyl ester of the glycyl amide (A-17) increased the potency 4-fold compared to the corresponding acid.

Esters are a diverse class of organic compounds formed by the reaction of an alcohol and an acid, resulting in the characteristic ester linkage.
They play a vital role in various fields, including chemistry, biology, and industry, with applications ranging from solvents and fragrances to plasticizers and pharmaceuticals.
The term 'ester' is derived from the German word 'Essigäther,' which means 'acetic ether.' Esters can be classified based on the type of alcohol and acid used in their formation.
Common examples include ethyl acetate, methyl benzoate, and glycerol triacetate.
These compounds exhibit a wide range of physical and chemical properties, such as varying melting and boiling points, solubility, and reactivity.
In the realm of biology, esters are crucial for various cellular processes.
Fatty acid esters, such as triacylglycerols (triglycerides), are the primary storage form of energy in many organisms.
Additionally, esters like cholesterol esters and phospholipids are important structural components of cell membranes.
Esters have a wide range of industrial applications.
They are commonly used as solvents, plasticizers, and flavoring agents in the food and fragrance industries.
Esters are also important in the production of paints, coatings, and adhesives, as well as in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other fine chemicals.
Analytical techniques, such as gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), are commonly used to separate, identify, and quantify esters in complex mixtures.
Fluorescent probes, such as CFSE and CM-H2DCFDA, can be used to label and track esters in biological systems.
Additionally, DMSO and FBS are often used in cell culture media to maintain the stability and viability of ester-containing compounds.
In summary, esters are a versatile class of organic compounds with numerous applications in chemistry, biology, and industry.
