Inhibition of Fibrillar Assemblies of l-Phenylalanine by Crown Ethers: A Potential Approach toward Phenylketonuria
Abstract
In this article, our aim is to investigate the interaction of l-phenylalanine (l-Phe) fibrils with crown ethers (CEs). For this purpose, two different CEs (15-Crown-5 (15C5) and 18-Crown-6 (18C6)) were used. Interestingly, we have observed that both CEs have the ability to arrest fibril formation. However, 18C6 was found to be a better candidate compared to 15C5. Field emission scanning electron microscopy and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy were used to monitor the fibril-arresting kinetics of CEs. The arresting process was further confirmed by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance studies.
