The design, synthesis, and evaluation of novel gamma-aminobutyric acid aminotransferase (GABA-AT) inhibitors and inactivators can lead to the discovery of new GABA-related therapeutics. To this end, a series of aromatic amino acid compounds was synthesized to aid in the design of new inhibitors and inactivators of GABA-AT. All compounds were tested as competitive inhibitors of GABA-AT. The amino acids
新型 γ-氨基丁酸转氨酶 (GABA-AT) 抑制剂和灭活剂的设计、合成和评估可以促进新的 GABA 相关疗法的发现。为此,合成了一系列芳香族氨基酸化合物,以帮助设计新的 GABA-AT 抑制剂和灭活剂。所有化合物均作为 GABA-AT 竞争性抑制剂进行测试。还测试了带有苄胺的氨基酸作为 GABA-AT 的底物。结果发现,这些化合物都是 GABA-AT 的竞争性较差的抑制剂,但有些是该酶的底物,表明它们可用作潜在的基于 GABA-AT 机制的灭活剂的支架。使用计算机建模来合理化各种化合物的底物活性。
