called the melatonin rhythm enzyme, is thought to play an important regulatory role in circadian rhythm in animals and people. A series of analogues were synthesized in which indole and coenzyme A were linked via ketone tethers as designed inhibitors of this enzyme. These compounds were tested against purified serotonin N-acetyltransferase. The parent ketone compound was found to be as potent as an amide
5-羟色胺N-乙酰基转移酶,也称为褪黑激素节律酶,被认为在动物和人的昼夜节律中起重要的调节作用。合成了一系列类似物,其中吲哚和辅酶A通过酮系链连接,作为该酶的设计抑制剂。这些化合物针对纯化的血清素N-乙酰基转移酶进行了测试。发现母体酮化合物与先前研究的酰胺连接的化合物一样有效,这表明紧密抑制所必需的相应底物的氮原子上没有关键的氢键。母体酮的还原提供了非对映体甲醇混合物,该混合物显示出降低的抑制能力,认为四面体类似物模拟是重要的抑制主题。
