Ap. Kozikowski et al., TOOLS FOR CELL SIGNALING - SYNTHESIS OF THE 3-PHOSPHATASE-RESISTANT 1,3,4,5-INSP(4) MIMIC, 1D-MYO-INOSITOL 1,4,5-TRISPHOSPHATE 3-PHOSPHOROTHIOATE, Journal of organic chemistry, 59(9), 1994, pp. 2279-2281
The synthesis of 1D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-phosphorothioat
e, a 3-phosphatase-resistant analogue of 1,3,4,5-InsP(4) is reported,
and this compound is shown to elicit Ca-45(2+) release with an EC(50)
which is comparable to that of the natural metabolite, thus supporting
the idea that 1,3,4,5-InsP(4) can interact with the 1,4,5-InsP(3) rec
eptors.
