Pyridoxal phosphate. 5. 2-Formylethynylphosphonic acid and 2-formylethylphosphonic acid, potent inhibitors of pyridoxal phosphate binding and probes of enzyme topography
摘要:
The title compounds (17 and 21) were prepared in good yield by synthesis of the phosphonate diester acetals (14 and 19), deesterification with chloro- or bromotrimethylsilane, hydrolysis of the acetal group, and formation of the characterized barium salts. The 3-carbon aldehydrophosphonic acids (17 and 21) were potent inhibitors (Ki = 2 X 10(-6)) of pyridoxal phosphate (PPal) binding to apoaspartate aminotransferase (AAT) and are believed to span between and bind to the enzymic functional groups which bind the aldehyde and phosphate groups of PPal.
