Synthesis of Phosphatase-Stable, Cell-Permeable Peptidomimetic Prodrugs That Target the SH2 Domain of Stat3
摘要:
The synthesis of prodrugs targeted to the SH2 domain of Stat3 is reported. Using a convergent strategy, the pivaloyloxymethyl phosphonodiester of pentachlorophenyl 4-phosphonodifluoromethylcinnamate, a phosphotyrosine surrogate, was synthesized and used to acylate peptidomimetic fragments that were prepared on solid supports. Two prodrugs described here inhibited the phosphorylation of Stat3 in breast tumor cells.
