Dimethylallyltryptophan synthase. An enzyme-catalyzed electrophilic aromatic substitution
摘要:
Dimethylallyltryptophan (DMAT) synthase catalyzes the alkylation of L-tryptophan at C(4) by dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) in the first pathway-specific step in the biosynthesis of ergot alkaloids. The mechanism of the reaction was studied with analogs of both substrates. Five 7-substituted derivatives of N-acetyltryptophan (2, Z = OCH3, CH3, F, CF3, and NO2) were synthesized. The L enantiomers of the free amino acids were obtained by selective hydrolysis of the racemate using aminoacylase from Aspergillus. In addition, the E and Z fluoromethyl and difluoromethyl analogs of DMAPP (1, Y = CH3, CH2F, CHF2) were prepared. Rates of the enzyme-catalyzed reactions were measured for the dimethylallyl derivatives with L-tryptophan and for the L-tryptophan derivatives with DMAPP. In addition, the relative reactivities of the methanesulfonate derivatives of the DMAPP analogs were determined for solvolysis in aqueous acetone. A Hammett plot for the tryptophan analogs gave a good linear correlation with rho = -2.0. In addition, a Hammett plot of the logarithms of the relative rates of solvolysis and enzyme-catalyzed alkylation gave a positive linear correlation. These results indicate that the prenyl-transfer reaction catalyzed by DMAT synthase is an electrophilic aromatic substitution and is mechanistically similar to the electrophilic alkylation catalyzed by farnesyl diphosphate synthase.

18F labeling strategies for unmodified peptides with [18F]fluoride require 18F-labeled prosthetics for bioconjugation more often with cysteine thiols or lysine amines. Here we explore selective radical chemistry to target aromatic residues applying C–H 18F-trifluoromethylation. We report a one-step route to [18F]CF3SO2NH4 from [18F]fluoride and its application to direct [18F]CF3 incorporation at tryptophan

The invention relates to a process for producing a compound comprising the anion [CF2 18FSO2]-, which process comprises treating a difluorocarbene source with (i) a source of 18F- and (ii) a source of SO2. The invention relates to a compound which comprises that anion. The invention also relates to the use of the compound comprising the anion [CF2 18FSO2]- to produce a compound comprising an 18F-trifluoromethyl functionalised aromatic group. Compounds comprising an 18F-trifluoromethyl functionalised aromatic group are also the subject of the present invention.
