3-Fluoroazetidinecarboxylic Acids and trans,trans-3,4-Difluoroproline as Peptide Scaffolds: Inhibition of Pancreatic Cancer Cell Growth by a Fluoroazetidine Iminosugar
摘要:
Reverse aldol opening tenders amides of 3-hydroxyazetidinecarboxylic acids (3-OH-Aze) unstable above pH 8. Axe, found in sugar beet, is mis-incorporated for proline in peptides in humans and is associated with multiple sclerosis and teratogenesis. Axe-containing peptides may be oxygenated by prolyl hydroxylases resulting in potential damage of the protein by a reverse aldol of the hydroxyazetidine; this, rather than changes in conformation; may account for the deleterious effects of Axe. This paper describes the synthesis of 3-fluoro-Aze amino acids as hydroxy-Aze analogues which are not susceptible to aldol cleavage. 4-(Azidomethyl)-3-fluoro-Aze and 3,4-difluoroproline are new peptide building blocks. trans,trans-2,4-dihydroxy-3-fluoroazetidine, an iminosugar, inhibits the growth of pancreatic cancer cells to a similar degree as gemcitabine.

A method for determining the presence of mycobacteria species in an organism or biological sample, the method comprising adding to the organism or biological sample a probe molecule comprising a substrate and a label, which probe molecule can be incorporated into mycobacteria, the presence of mycobacteria being determined by a detector responsive to the presence of the label, optionally after applying a stimulus; suitable probe molecules include compounds comprising a label and a substrate, which label is can be detected by a detector responsive to the presence of the label, optionally after applying a stimulus, characterised by compound being able to engage with the active site of Antigen 85B (Ag85B) such that it can form simultaneous hydrogen bonds with two or more amino acids in the active site selected from Arg 43, Trp 264, Ser126, His 262 and Leu 42, or the corresponding amino acids in Antigen 85A (Ag85A) or Antigen 85C (Ag85C), at least one of which is with Ser126.
Disclosed are a drug having renal selectivity and a drug carrier for specifically transporting a drug supported thereon to a kidney. A segment structure specifically recognizable in the kidney is utilized. More specifically, since a segment structure represented by formula (I) is kidney-oriented, introduction of a drug into a molecule having the segment structure can provide a renal targeting drug. A compound, which has the segment structure and can support a drug thereon, can be utilized as a drug carrier which can specifically transport a drug supported thereon to the kidney.
A-U-V- (I)
wherein A represents glycosyl, such as glucosyl, mannosyl, or 2-deoxy-glucosyl; U represents O, S, or NH; and V represents an aromatic hydrocarbon or a straight-chain or branched C1-18 aliphatic hydrocarbon.
