in tumor, aminopeptidase N has been an appealing target for anti-tumor drug development. Here, a serial of novel aminopeptidase N inhibitors with L-arginine scaffold were designed, synthesized and evaluated for aminopeptidase N inhibitory activities. The preliminary anti-enzyme activity assay demonstrated that compounds 5e, 5h, 11e, 11g, and 11h showed comparable activities with the positive control
考虑到在肿瘤中发挥的重要作用,氨肽酶N已成为抗肿瘤药物开发的有吸引力的靶标。在这里,设计,合成和评估一系列新型的L-精氨酸支架的氨肽酶N抑制剂的氨肽酶N抑制活性。初步的抗酶活性测定表明,化合物5e,5h,11e,11g和11h显示出与阳性对照Bestatin(一种批准的氨肽酶N抑制剂)相当的活性。在体外抗增殖试验中,化合物5f对四种过表达氨基肽酶N的肿瘤细胞显示出优异的活性。在体内抗转移试验中,化合物5f和11g表现出比Bestatin更好的活性。因此5f和11g应作为进一步开发的新型氨基肽酶N抑制剂的先导化合物。
