Da. Guo et Wd. Nes, SYNTHESIS OF A RATIONALLY DESIGNED INHIBITOR OF THE (S)-ADENOSYL-L-METHIONINE - DELTA-24(25)-STEROL METHYL TRANSFERASE, Synthetic communications, 25(17), 1995, pp. 2623-2630
A facile preparation of the first bisubstrate analog 4,4-dimethyl 14 a
lpha-methyl 24(R,S)-OMe, 25-dimethyl amino cholest-8-en-3 beta-ol 3 de
signed to interfere with the binding of (S)-adenosyl-L-methionine and
of the natural sterol substrate to the (S)-adenosyl-L-methionine: Delt
a(24(25))-sterol methyl transferase is reported here. Confirmation of
the identity of the novel side chain modified N-sterol was obtained by
H-1- and C-13-NMR.
