Selective Reduction of Peptide Isothiazolidin-3-ones
摘要:
Isothiazolidinones are a rare but potentially important chemical moiety in biochemistry. We report the identification of several thiol, phosphinate, and carbon nucleophiles that form covalent adducts by addition to the sulfenamide sulfur. This reduction is selective for isothiazolidinones over similar peptide disulfides. We synthesized a coumarin-based thioacid nucleophile which shows a marked fluorescence increase after addition to an isothiazolidinone sulfenamide bond.

for the O‐arylation of the sidechain of tyrosine usingtriarylbismuthreagents is reported. The reaction is performed in dichloromethane under oxygen at 50 °C in the presence of pyridine, is promoted by copper diacetate, shows excellent scope and functional group tolerance, and retains the integrity of the chiral center.

Derivatives of the thiirancarboxylic acid building‐block containing a peptide bond were synthesised and screened against the model cysteine protease papain. The most active of the series showed a second‐order rate constant of inactivation comparable to that of the parent compound. The insertion of a peptide moiety seems to compensate the lack of a free carboxylate interacting with the histidinium ion

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a validated therapeutic target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes; however, the enzyme has been classified by some as an "undruggable target". Here we describe studies directed toward the development of agents that covalently capture the sulfenyl amide "oxoform" of PTP1B generated during insulin signaling events. The sulfenyl amide residue found in oxidized PTP1B presents a unique electrophilic sulfur center that may be exploited in drug and probe design. Covalent capture of oxidized PTP1B could permanently disable the intracellular pool of enzyme involved in regulation of insulin signaling. Here, we employed a dipeptide model of oxidized PTP1B to investigate the nucleophilic capture of the sulfenyl amide residue by structurally diverse 1,3-diketones. All of the 1,3-diketones examined here reacted readily with the electrophilic sulfur center in the sulfenyl amide residue to generate stable covalent attachments. Several different types of products were observed, depending upon the substituents present on the 1,3-diketone. The results provide a chemical foundation for the development of agents that covalently capture the oxidized form of PTP1B generated in cells during insulin signaling events.
