Relative structure-inhibition analyses of the N-benzoyl and N-(phenylsulfonyl) amino acid aldose reductase inhibitors
摘要:
A number of N-benzoyl amino acids were synthesized and tested to compare structure-inhibition relationships with the isosteric N-(phenylsulfonyl) amino acid (PS-amino acid) aldose reductase inhibitors. Inhibition analyses with these series reveals that their kinetic mechanisms of inhibition are similar, but that significant differences in structure-inhibition relationships exist. For example, while the PS-alanines and PS-2-phenylglycines produce enantioselective inhibition (S > R), no consistent pattern of enantioselectivity is observed with the isosteric N-benzoylalanines and 2-phenylglycines. Also, N-methyl and N-phenyl substitution in the PS-amino acid series does not substantially alter inhibitory activity, while similar substitutions in the N-benzoyl series (particularly N-phenyl) results in a significant increase in inhibitory activity. Proton NMR analysis of the N-benzoylsarcosines reveals that these compounds exist as a mixture of rotamers in solutions including the enzyme assay buffer and that the preferred conformer is one in which the carboxymethyl moiety is trans to the aromatic ring. Similar analyses with the N-benzoyl-N-phenylglycines demonstrate that these derivatives exist exclusively in the trans rotameric conformation in solution. No such N-substituent effects on conformation were observed in the PS-amino acid series. These results suggest that the differences in structure-inhibition trends between these structurally related series may result from the effect of substituents on preferred conformation.

(EN) The present invention comprises analogs of the CAAX motif of the protein Ras that is modified by farnesylation $i(in vivo). These CAAX analogs inhibit the farnesylation of Ras. Furthermore, these CAAX analogs differ from those previously described as inhibitors of Ras farnesyl transferase in that they do not have a thiol moiety. The lack of the thiol offers unique advantages in terms of improved pharmacokinetic behavior in animals, prevention of thiol-dependent chemical reactions, such as rapid autoxidation and disulfide formation with endogenous thiols, and reduced systemic toxicity. Further contained in this invention are chemotherapeutic compositions containing these farnesyl transferase inhibitors and methods for their production.(FR) La présente invention se rapporte à des analogues du motif CAAX de la protéine Ras qui est modifiée par farnésylation $i(in vivo). Ces analogues de CAAX inhibent la farnésylation de Ras. De plus, ils diffèrent des autres analogues précédemment décrits comme étant des inhibiteurs de Ras-farnésyle transférase en ce qu'ils ne possèdent pas une fraction thiol. L'absence de thiol offre des avantages uniques sur le plan du comportement pharmacocinétique amélioré chez les animaux, de la prévention des réactions chimiques dépendant de thiol, telle que l'auto-oxydation rapide et la formation de bisulfure avec des thiols endogènes, et de la toxicité systémique réduite. L'invention se rapporte en outre à des compositions chimiothérapiques contenant ces inhibiteurs de farnésyle transférase et à leurs procédés de production.
