Ad. Kohler et al., RADIOIODINATED ABSCISIC-ACID PHOTOAFFINITY PROBE, Journal of the Chemical Society. Perkin transactions. I, (10), 1997, pp. 1543-1547
The construction of a photoaffinity probe based on abscisic acid is de
scribed. A strategy based on C-4'-tethering of aromatic hydrazides led
to abscisic acid 4'-(3 ''-azido-4 ''-hydroxybenzoylhydrazide). This c
ompound is of moderate biological activity in cereal aleurone assays a
nd was readily iodinated with chloramine T and sodium iodide, conditio
ns that were used for the preparation of the [I-125]-labelled compound
in high radiochemical yield.
