Design, Synthesis, and Pharmacological Evaluation of Fluorescent and Biotinylated Antagonists of ρ1 GABAC Receptors
摘要:
The rho(1) GABA(C) receptor is a ligand-gated chloride ion channel that shows promise as a therapeutic target for myopia, sleep disorders, memory and learning facilitation, and anxiety-related disorders. As such, there is a need for molecular probes to understand the role GABA(C) receptors play in physiological and pathological processes. To date, no labeled (either radioactive or fluorescent) GABA(C) selective ligand has been developed that can act as a marker for GABA(C) receptor visualization and localization studies. Herein, we report a series of fluorescent ligands containing different-sized linkers and fluorophores based around (S)-4-ACPBPA [(4-aminocyclopenten-1-yl)-butylphosphinic acid], a selective GABA(C) antagonist. One of these conjugates, (S)-4-ACPBPA-C5-BODIPY (13), displayed moderate potency (IC50 = 58.61 mu M) and selectivity (>100 times) for rho(1) over alpha(1)beta(2)gamma(2L) GABA(A) receptors. These conjugates are novel lead agents for the development of more potent and selective fluorescent probes for studying the localization and function of GABA(C) receptors in living cells.

Reactions of N-Hydroxysuccinimide Esters of Anthranilic Acids with Anions of .BETA.-Keto Esters. A New Route to 4-Oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic Acid Derivatives.
A new approach for the synthesis of 4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid derivtives is described. This methodology involves the C-acylation of the anions of appropriate β-keto esters with novel N-hydroxysuccinimide esters of anthranilic acids. The intermediate C-acylation products 3 are spontaneously cyclized to afford 3-ethoxycarbonyl-4-oxoquinoline derivatives 4. The introduction of a variety of substituents at positins 1 and 2 of the quinoline ring is feasible with the selection of suitable anthranilic acids and β-keto esters. The structure of the obtained 2-substituted 3-ethoxycarbonyl-4-oxoquinolines was confirmed by IR and NMR spectral data.

The invention provides putative "drugable" protein targets and actively binding ligands identified in an efficient and reproducible process by determining the affinity of protein mixtures to libraries of ligand compounds of defined size and composition. The libraries are used to isolate and identify previously unknown corresponding protein-ligand binding pairs from a mixture of proteins and a library of compounds, and are particularly useful to identify differentially selective protein-ligand binding pairs, for example, representing a single physiological state or several varied but related states, such as disease versus normal conditions. The invention also provides processes for identifying such protein-ligand binding pairs.

A non-destructive method of determining the uniformity of a coating on a substrate comprises coating the substrate with a homogenous coating mixture comprising a labeled compound and a chemically functional compound to which other chemical moieties can be bound, and detecting the presence and locations of the labeled compound on the surface. The invention also relates to a surface for attachment of molecules comprising a substrate and a coating thereon of a homogeneous mixture of a labeled compound and a first chemically functional compound to which other chemical moieties can be bound.
