R. Sharma et al., CONFORMATIONALLY CONSTRAINED ANALOGS OF DIACYLGLYCEROL .5. -DIDEOXY-3-O-TETRADECANOYL-D-GALACTONO-1,4-LACTONE - A SUPERIOR HOMOLOG OF 3-O-TETRADECANOYL-2-DEOXY-L-RIBONOLACTONE WITH PK-C BINDING-AFFINITY, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 3(10), 1993, pp. 1993-1998
A computer-generated molecular superposition of the key pharmacophores
in 3-O-tetradecanoyl-2-deoxy-L-ribonolactone (1) and phorbol-12-myris
tate-13-acetate (PMA) indicated that the corresponding one carbon homo
logue, -dideoxy-3-O-tetradecanoyl-D-galactono-1,4-lactone (2) would ha
ve an improved fit to PMA. Compound 2 was synthesized, and, consistent
with the model's prediction, demonstrated superior binding affinity f
or PK-C relative to 1.
