Guanidinylated 2,5-dideoxystreptamine derivatives as anthrax lethal factor inhibitors
摘要:
Anthraxlethal factor is a Zn2+-dependent metalloprotease and the key virulence factor of tripartite anthrax toxin secreted by Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax. A series of guanidinylated 2,5-dideoxystreptamine derivatives were designed and synthesized as inhibitors of lethal factor, some of which show strong inhibitory activity against lethal factor in an in vitro FRET assay. Preparation and structure-activity relationships of these compounds are presented. (C) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
