Function of the alkyl side chains of Δlac-acetogenins in the inhibitory effect on mitochondrial complex I (NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase)
摘要:
We synthesized a series of Alac-acetogenins in which the two alkyl side chains were systematically modified, and examined their inhibitory effect on bovine heart mitochondrial complex I (NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase). The results revealed that the physicochemical properties of the side chains, such as the balance of hydrophobicity and the width (or bulkiness) of the chains, are important structural factors for a potent inhibitory effect of amphiphilic Alac-acetogenins. This is probably because such properties decide the precise location of the hydrophilic bis-THF ring moiety in the enzyme embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

The reaction of 1-bromoalk-1-ynes with two equivalents of butyl-lithium in hexane gives 3-butylalk-1-ynes; the reactive intermediate is a dilithioalkyne which can also be directly prepared fromterminalacetylenes, and selective reaction with alkyl halides in hexane occurs at the propargylic site to provide a general synthesis of 3-alkylalk-1-ynes.
