N5-Phosphonoacetyl-l-ornithine (PALO): A convenient synthesis and investigation of influence on regulation of amino acid biosynthetic genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
摘要:
A scalable four-step synthesis of the ornithine transcarbamylase inhibitor N-5-phosphonoacetyl-L-ornithine (PALO) is achieved through boroxazolidinone protection of ornithine. Investigations in the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae found that, in contrast to a previous report, PALO did not influence growth rate or expression of genes involved in arginine metabolism.
