Title: Design, synthesis, and binding studies of bidentate Zn-chelating peptidic inhibitors of glyoxalase-I.
Authors: More SS, Vince R.
Abstract: The known affinity of ethyl acetoacetate (ACC) toward divalent zinc prompted us to attempt its employment as a chelating moiety in the design of glyoxalase-I inhibitors. A practical synthetic route was developed to incorporate this pharmacophore into the side chain of glutamic acid, with flexibility to allow incorporation of additional functionality at the end-stage of the synthesis. Herein, the details of this synthetic approach as well as the evaluation of the resultant beta-keto ester compounds are reported.
