Synthesis and Structure−Activity Relationships of Chiral Allosteric Modifiers of Hemoglobin
摘要:
A series of allosteric effecters of hemoglobin, 2-(aryloxy)-2-alkanoic acids, was prepared to investigate the effect of the stereocenter on allosteric activity. The chiral analogues were based on the lead compound, RSR13 (3b), with different alkyl/alkanoic and cycloalkyl/cycloalkanoic groups positioned at the acidic chiral center. Of the 23 racemic molecules synthesized, 5 were selected for resolution based on structure-activity relationships. One chiral analogue, (-)( 1R,2R)-1-[4-[[(3,5 -dimethylanilino)carbonyl]methyl]phenoxy]-2-methylcyclopentanecarboxylic acid (11), exhibited greater in vitro activity in hemoglobin solutions than its antipode, racemate, and RSR13. Compound (-)-(LR,2R)-11 was equipotent with RSR13 in whole blood, is a candidate for in vivo animal studies, and if efficacious and safe has a potential for use in humans. In general, it was found that chirality affects allosteric effector activity with measurable differences observed between enantiomers and the racemates.

electrospray ionization (ESI) and tandem mass spectrometry by employing a novel linear ion trap--orbitrap hybrid mass spectrometer--in positive and negative ionization modes. The elimination of 2-methyl acrylic acid (-86 u) has been identified as a major fragmentation process in both charge states. Negative ionization and collision-induced dissociation (CID) caused an additional release of carbon dioxide (-44
