A series of kojic acid (5-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethyl-4H-pyran-4-one) derivatives were synthesized and tested for their ability to inhibit D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO). Various substituents were incorporated into kojic acid at its 2-hydroxymethyl group. These analogs serve as useful molecular probes to explore the secondary binding site, which can be exploited in designing more potent DAAO inhibitors.
一系列曲酸(5-羟基-2-羟甲基-4H-吡喃-4-酮)衍生物被合成并测试其抑制 D-氨基酸氧化酶(DAAO)的能力。各种取代基被引入到曲酸的 2-羟甲基位置。这些类似物可用作探索次级结合位点的有用分子探针,这可用于设计更有效的 DAAO 抑制剂。
