new protein farnesyltransferase inhibitors with antiparasitic activity, we found that addition of a methionine residue at position 2 of 3-arylthiophenes greatly improved enzyme inhibition. To investigate the influence of this methionine residue on FTase and antiparasitic activities, 29 novel tetrasubstituted thiophenes bearing methionine or analogous moieties were synthesised. These new derivatives were
在我们寻找具有抗寄生虫活性的新的蛋白质法呢基转移酶抑制剂的过程中,我们发现在3-芳基噻吩的2位添加甲硫氨酸残基可以大大改善酶的抑制作用。为了研究此蛋氨酸残基对FTase和抗寄生虫活性的影响,研究了29个新型的四取代噻吩蛋氨酸或类似的部分被合成。对人和布鲁氏锥虫蛋白法呢基转移酶以及4种原生动物寄生虫的增殖评估了这些新衍生物:恶性疟原虫,布鲁氏锥虫,克鲁氏锥虫和利什曼原虫。一些化合物在T.b上显示出有希望的低微摩尔或亚微摩尔活性。Brucei和L. donovani证实了这一新类别作为抗寄生虫药的潜力。
