First synthesis of alpha-aminoalkyl-(N-substituted)thiocarbamoyl-phosphinates: inhibitors of aminopeptidase N (APN/CD13) with the new zinc-binding group

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2008 Jul 1;18(13):3734-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2008.05.050. Epub 2008 May 17.

Abstract

OO-Di-trimethylsilyl esters of alpha-N-benzyloxycarbonylaminoalkylphosphinates (III) undergo triethylamine catalyzed addition to isothiocyanates to give after hydrolysis, a series of new alpha-aminoalkyl-(N-substituted)thiocarbamoyl-phosphinates. Thiocarbamoyl-phosphinate moiety can be included in the structures of the metalloproteinase inhibitors as the zinc-binding group and the new compounds reported here are good inhibitors of important aminopeptidase N(CD13) with IC(50) in range of 10.56-0.25 microM.
