Potent new leucine aminopeptidase inhibitor of novel structure synthesised by a modified Wadsworth–Emmons (Horner) Wittig procedure
摘要:
The use of a leucine-derived alpha-keto-beta-aldehyde (glyoxal) as a substrate in the Horner-Emmons (Wadswortb) Wittig reaction has enabled the synthesis of (Z)-7-methyl-5(S)-amino-4-oxo-methyl-oct-2-eneoate. This novel compound is a potent inhibitor (K-i = 76 nM) of leucine aminopeptidase and provides an interesting new template for the development of metallopeptidase inhibitors.
