Ce. Rodriguez et al., EVALUATION OF PHOSPHORUS-CONTAINING INHIBITORS OF GAMMA-GLUTAMYL HYDROLASE, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 8(12), 1998, pp. 1521-1524
Several putative, phosphorus-containing inhibitors of gamma-glutamyl h
ydrolase were synthesized and evaluated for inhibitory activity. The p
hosphonamidoic acids were shown to be weak competitive inhibitors whil
e both a phosphoramidate diester and a phosphonamidate ester were show
n to be potent time-dependent inactivators, presumably through irrever
sible phosphorylation of an active site nucleophile. (C) 1998 Elsevier
