Design of the first highly potent and selective aminopeptidase N (EC 3.4.11.2) inhibitor
摘要:
A series of phosphinic compounds mimicking the transition state of substrates hydrolysed by aminopeptidase N (EC 3.4.11.2) were synthesized. These new compounds have potent inhibitory activities with Ki values in the nanomolar range. These derivatives behave as the most potent APN inhibitors designed to date.

2(S)-benzyl-3-[hydroxy(1′(R)-aminoethyl)phosphinyl]propanoyl-L-3-[125I]-iodo tyrosine was prepared from 1(R)-(N-benzyloxycarbonylamino)ethylphosphinic acid in a six step synthesis. This new iodinated compound, which is a highly efficient aminopeptidase N inhibitor (Ki=0·95 nM), can be used for complete characterization of the biochemical and pharmacological properties of aminopeptidase N and its in
