Acylcarnitine analogues as topical, microbicidal spermicides.
摘要:
Acylcarnitine analogues, (+)-6-Carboxylatomethyl-2-alkyl-4,4-dimethylmorpholinium (Z-n, where n = the number of carbons in the alkyl chain), synthesized in multi-gram quantities show in vitro activities as spermicides, anti-HIV agents, and inhibitors of the growth of Candida albicans. Activity improves with increasing chain length. Compound Z-15 is a candidate for further study as a topical, microbicidal spermicide. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
(+)-Hemipalmitoylcarnitinium strongly inhibits carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I in intact mitochondria
摘要:
The reaction of the methyl ester of (R)-norcarnitine with 1-bromo-2-heptadecanone produces (+)-6-[(methoxycarbonyl)methyl]-2-pentadecyl-4,4-dimethylmorpholinium bromide, 3, which hydrolyzes to (+)-6-(carboxylatomethyl)-2-pentadecyl-4,4-dimethylmorpholinium (hemipalmitoylcarnitinium, HPC) upon treatment with aqueous sodium hydroxide. Single-crystal X-ray analyses have confirmed the structures of (+)-HPC and 3. (+)-HPC inhibits carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT-I) activity for the forward reaction (palmitoyl-CoA + carnitine -->) in intact mitochondria from rat heart and rat liver. (+)-HPC competitively (versus carnitine) inhibits CPT-I activity in both rat heart and liver mitochondria with K(i) = 2.8 +/- 0.5 and 4.2 +/- 0.7 muM, respectively. As one of the strongest specific inhibitors of CPT-I, HPC is a potential therapeutic agent in myocardial ischemia and Type II diabetes.
