Sj. Keding et al., SYNTHESIS OF (3R)-AMINO-(2S)-HYDROXY AMINO-ACIDS FOR INHIBITION OF METHIONINE AMINOPEPTIDASE-1, Synthetic communications, 28(23), 1998, pp. 4463-4470
(3R)-amino-(2S)-hydroxy heptanoic acid (AHHpA) was synthesized via asy
mmetric aminohydroxylation and coupled with di- and tripeptides to for
m three compounds that inhibit MetAP-1 with IC50 values in the low mic
romolar range.
