Temporin A (TA) and a cecropin A-temporin A hybrid peptide (CATA) were synthesized and assayed for their hemolytic, anticoagulant, and antifungal properties. CATA retains significant antifungal activity, is less hemolytic than TA, and inhibits blood coagulation. These results recommend further studies of the biological activities of CATA.

Linear and cyclic hymenistatin I (HS I) analogues with dipeptide segments Ile2-Pro3, Pro3-Pro4 and Val6-Pro7 replaced by their tetrazole analogues Ile-Ψ[CN4]-Ala3, Pro3-Ψ[CN4]-Ala4 and Val6-Ψ[CN4]-Alawere synthesized by the solid phase peptide synthesis method and cyclized with the TBTU and/or HATU reagent. The peptides were examined for their immunosuppressive activity in the lymphocyte proliferation test (LPT).

In this paper we are focused on analysis of hydroxychalcones, i.e. 2’-hydroxychalcone, 3’-hydroxychalcone and 4’-hydroxychalcone, by the Flowing Atmospheric Pressure Afterglow mass spectrometry (FAPA-MS), and on comparison of the obtained data with other classical methods including ESI-MS, APCI, MALDI, and GC/EI-MS. The paper is presenting fragmentation pathways of both positive-, and negative hydroxychalcone ions. Tested compounds were characterized by comparison of the results (signals m/z and relative intensities) from the five mass spectrometry techniques, showing very good utility of FAPA method for fast and easy analysis of the low molecular weight compounds. Moreover, FAPA does not require a time-consuming derivatization, nor search for a suitable solvent or matrix, often incompatible with various ion sources.

A method has been developed for laser desorption/ionization of catecholamines from porous silicon. This methodology is particularly attractive for analysis of small molecules. MALDI TOF mass spectrometry, although a very sensitive technique, utilizes matrices that need to be mixed with the sample prior to their analysis. Each matrix produces its own background, particularly in the low-molecular mass region. Therefore, detection and identification of molecules below 400 Da can be difficult. Desorption/ionization of samples deposited on porous silicon does not require addition of a matrix, thus, spectra in the low-molecular mass region can be clearly readable. Here, we describe a method for the analysis of catecholamines. While MALDI TOF is superior for proteomics/peptidomics, desorption/ionization from porous silicon can extend the operating range of a mass spectrometer for studies on metabolomics (small organic molecules and their metabolites, such as chemical neurotransmitters, prostaglandins, steroids, etc.).
