Probing the Specificity of the Serine Proteases Subtilisin Carlsberg and α-Chymotrypsin with Enantiomeric 1-Acetamido Boronic Acids. An Unexpected Reversal of the Normal “l”-Stereoselectivity Preference
摘要:
Enantiomeric 1-acetamido boronic acids, which are N-acetyl transition state analog inhibitor analogs of L- and D-forms of the amino acids alanine, phenylalanine, p-fluorophenylalanine, p-chlorophenylalanine, and 1-naphthylalanine, have been evaluated as inhibitors of the serine proteases subtilisin Carlsberg (SC) and alpha-chymotrypsin (CT). All of the boronic acids are powerful competitive inhibitors of both enzymes, with, as expected, the L-enantiomers being generally more potent than the D-enantiomers. However, a dramatic reversal of the normal stereoselectivity preference was observed in the inhibition of CT by [1-acetamido-2-(1-naphthyl)ethyl]boronic acid, with the D-enantiomer becoming a 25-fold more potent inhibitor than the L-enantiomer. Furthermore, the K-I of 127 nM for CT inhibition by this D-enantiomer is the lowest of any of the boronic acids evaluated. Molecular modeling analyses of the possible binding modes of the inhibitors suggest that the stereoselectivity reversal is due to S-1-pocket orientations of naphthyl groups that are different from those of the aromatic side chains of the phenylalanine analogs.
Synthesis and carbohydrate binding studies of fluorescent α-amidoboronic acids and the corresponding bisboronic acids
摘要:
Fluorescent boronic acids are very useful for the design and synthesis of carbohydrate sensors. In an earlier communication, we first described the effort of developing water soluble fluorescent alpha-amidoboronic acids, which change fluorescence upon sugar binding. In this report, we describe a general method of functionalizing such boronic acids and their applications in the preparation of bis-alpha-amidoboronic acids with significantly enhanced binding for oligosaccharides as compared to their monoboronic acid counterparts. The advantages of good water solubility, easy modification to generate diversity, and modularity in synthesis will make alpha-amidoboronic acids very useful building blocks for future synthesis of boronic acid-based fluorescent sensors.
