- Potent and fully noncompetitive peptidomimetic inhibitor of multidrug resistance P-glycoprotein
-
Nα-Boc-l-Asp(OBn)-l-Lys(Z)-OtBu (reversin 121, 1), an inhibitor of the P-gp ABC transporter, was used to conceive compounds inhibiting the drug efflux occurring through the Hoechst 33342 and daunorubicin transport sites of P-gp, respectively H and R sites. Replacement of the aspartyl residue by trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline (4(R)Hyp) gave compounds 11 and 15 characterized by half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of 0.6 and 0.2 μM, which are 2-and 7-fold lower than that of the parent molecule. The difference in IC50 between 11 and 15 rests on the carbonyl group of the peptidyl bond, reduced in 15. Those compounds are rather specific of P-gp, having no or limited activity on MRP1 and BCRP. 15 displayed no marked cytotoxicity up to 10-fold its IC50. Importantly, 15 equally inhibited the Hoechst 33342 and daunorubicin effluxes through a typical noncompetitive inhibition mechanism, suggesting its binding to a site different from the H and R drug-transport sites.

- Selective Inhibition of Benzyl Ether Hydrogenolysis with Pd/C Due to the Presence of Ammonia, Pyridine or Ammonium Acetate
-
Ammonia, pyridine and ammonium acetate were found to be extremely effective as inhibitors of Pd/C catalyzed benzyl ether hydrogenolysis.While olefin, Cbz, benzyl ester and azide functionalities were hydrogenated smoothly, benzyl ethers were not cleaved in the presence of these additives.
