Abstract
Reaction of histamine (Hst) with tetrabromophthalic anhydride and protection of its imidazole moiety with tritylsulfenyl chloride, followed by hydrazinolysis, afforded N-1-tritylsulfenyl-histamine, a key intermediate which was further derivatized at its aminoethyl moiety. Reaction of the key intermediate with N-Boc-amino acids/dipeptides (Boc-AA) in the presence of carbodiimides afforded, after deprotection of the imidazolic and amino moieties, a series of compounds with the general formula AA-Hst (AA = amino acyl; dipeptidyl). The new derivatives were assayed as activators of three carbonic anhydrase (CA) isozymes, hCA I, hCA II (cytosolic forms) and bCA IV (membrane-bound form). Efficient activation was observed against all three isozymes, but especially against hCA I and bCA IV, with affinities in the nanomolar range for the best compounds. hCA II was, on the other hand, activatable with affinities around 10-20 nM. This new class of CA activators might lead to the development of drugs/diagnostic agents for the CA deficiency syndrome, a genetic disease of bone, brain and kidneys.I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
