Identification and structural determination of a potent p-selectin inhibitor
摘要:
Small quantities of a potent P-selectin inhibitor, 2 (IC50 = 0.2 muM), were isolated and an initial structure proposed based on 1D proton NMR. A reterosynthetic analysis of the proposed structure led us to a total synthesis of 2. NMR studies using the 2-D homo-TOCSY and NOESY and 2-D hetero-HMQC helped to confirm the structure of 2.

A borontrifluoride–methanolcomplex demonstrated remarkable deprotection selectivity against commonly used amino-protecting groups in the deacetylation of acetanilides and high sensitivity to the steric hindrance of substrates. The scope and limitations of the reaction were explored.
