Design and Synthesis of Fluorescent Methylphenidate Analogues for a FRET-Based Assay of Synapsin III Binding.

Abstract:

:We previously described synapsin III (Syn III) as a synaptic phosphoprotein that controls dopamine release in cooperation with α-synuclein (aSyn). Moreover, we found that in Parkinson's disease (PD), Syn III also participates in aSyn aggregation and toxicity. Our recent observations point to threo-methylphenidate (MPH), a monoamine re-uptake inhibitor that efficiently counteracts the freezing-gait characteristic of advanced PD, as a ligand for Syn III. We have designed and synthesised two different fluorescently labelled MPH derivatives, one with Rhodamine Red (RHOD) and one with 5-carboxytetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA), to be used for assessing MPH binding to Syn III by FRET. TAMRA-MPH exhibited the ideal characteristics to be used as a FRET acceptor, as it was able to enter into the SK-N-SH cells and could interact specifically with human green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged Syn III but not with GFP alone. Moreover, the uptake of TAMRA-MPH and co-localization with Syn III was also observed in primary mesencephalic neurons. These findings support that MPH is a Syn III ligand and that TAMRA-conjugated drug molecules might be valuable tools to study drug-ligand interactions by FRET or to detect Syn III in cytological and histological samples.
