Enantioselective Syntheses of α-Fmoc-Pbf-[2-13C]-l-arginine and Fmoc-[1,3-13C2]-l-proline and Incorporation into the Neurotensin Receptor 1 Ligand, NT8−13
摘要:
Enantioselective syntheses of selectively labeled, orthogonally protected [2-C-13]L-arginine and [1,3-C-13(2)]-L-proline are described from the commercially available precursors [2-C-13]bromoacetic acid and potassium [C-13]cyanide, Interestingly the enhanced signal assigned to C-2 in the C-13 NMR spectrum of alpha-Fmoc-Pbf-[2-C-13]-L-arginine was very broad at room temperature. The two Fmoc-labeled amino acids were used to prepare [2-C-13]-Arg9 and [1,3-C-13(2)]-Pro 10 labeled ligand (NT8-13) by manual Fmoc-SPSS.
Synthesis of Site-Specifically Labeled Arachidonic Acids as Mechanistic Probes for Prostaglandin H Synthase
摘要:
Prostaglandin H synthase catalyzes the first committed step in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins and thromboxane. Herein we report the synthesis of four site-specifically labeled arachidonic acids for investigation of the radical intermediate formed during this enzymatic reaction. Two compounds were prepared using a common C9-C11 fragment, while another target was synthesized using a previously reported advanced intermediate. An alkyne coupling followed by hydrogenation and Wittig reaction was used to prepare the final labeled substrate.
