R. Hamilton et al., SYNTHESIS AND PROTEINASE INHIBITORY PROPERTIES OF DIPHENYL PHOSPHONATE ANALOGS OF ASPARTIC AND GLUTAMIC ACIDS, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 8(13), 1998, pp. 1655-1660
The synthesis of diphenyl phosphonate analogues of aspartic and glutam
ic acid, and their inhibitory activity against S. aureus V8 protease a
nd granzyme B, is described. The study has revealed difficulties with
protecting group compatibility in the synthesis of these analogues. Tw
o analogues, Acetyl.Asp(P)(OPh)(2) and Acetyl.Glu(P)(OPh)(2) were foun
d to function as irreversible inactivators of V8 proteinase, yet exhib
it no activity against granzyme B. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All
