Hydrophobic derivatives of 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucitol-6-phosphate: A new type of d-Glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase inhibitors with antifungal action
摘要:
Several N-acyl and ester derivatives of 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucitol-6-phosphate (ADGP) have been synthesised and tested as inhibitors of fungal enzymes involved in early steps of chitin biosynthesis and for antifungal activity. All the tested derivatives were found to be much poorer inhibitors of the enzyme, D-glucosamine-6-phosphate (GIcN-6-P) synthase, than the parent compound but some of them exhibited much better antifungal activity. MIC values for the investigated compounds ranged between 10 mg mL(-1), found for ADGP and 0.3 mg mL(-1) for the most active derivative, namely ADGP dimethyl ester. Increased affinity of ADGP derivatives to the artificial immobilised cell membrane was correlated with their enhanced ability to be taken up by fungal cells by free diffusion. It was found that some of the examined derivatives behaved as 'pro-drugs' and after internalisation were converted into ADGP in the cell-free extract. This conversion was relatively rapid for ADGP esters but very slow for N-acyl derivatives. Results of our studies demonstrate a possibility of design and preparation of GIcN-6-P synthase inhibitors exhibiting antifungal activity. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The glmS riboswitch is a target for antibiotics and other small molecule therapies. Compounds can be used to stimulate, active, inhibit and/or inactivate the glmS riboswitch. The atomic structures of the glmS riboswitch can be used to design new compounds to stimulate, active, inhibit and/or inactivate riboswitches.
There is described an apparatus for measuring protein characteristics comprising an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer comprising a source of polychromatic X-rays, an X-ray detector, a protein, a molecule that has been exposed to and at least weakly binds to the protein, a plurality of X-ray fluorescence signal data obtained by irradiating chemical elements in the protein and molecule with the polychromatic X-rays and a security system for maintaining records for the data from the plurality of X-ray fluorescence signal measurements. There is also described an x-ray microscope for measuring a sample.

Rational design of N-alkyl derivatives of 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucitol-6P as antifungal agents
N-Alkyl and N,N-dialkyl derivatives of 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucitol-6P (ADGP) were synthesized and found to inhibit growth of human pathogenic fungi (MICs in the 0.08-0.625 mg mL(-1) range for the most active compounds). It was thus shown that N-alkylation of ADGP provides novel inhibitors of a fungal enzyme, glucosamine-6P synthase, exhibiting higher antifungal activity than the parent compound, due to the increased lipophilicity and better uptake by fungal cells.
