An improved synthesis of a phosphopeptidomimetic prodrug targeting the Src Homology 2 (SH2) domain of signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) is reported. In our convergent methodology, we employed a phosphotyrosine surrogate active ester harboring pivaloyloxymethyl groups, which efficiently coupled to tert-butylglycinyl proline diarylamide. Biological evaluation of 1 has not been reported. We show that it inhibits STAT6 phosphorylation in intact human bronchial epithelial cells, suggesting potential application in the treatment of asthma.
报道了一种靶向信号转导和转录激活因子6(STAT6)的Src同源2(SH2)结构域的磷酸肽模拟前药的改进合成方法。在我们的汇聚方法中,我们使用了带有新戊酰氧基甲基的磷酸酪氨酸替代活性酯,其能有效地与叔丁基甘氨酰脯氨酸二芳基酰胺偶联。化合物1的生物学评价尚未见报道。我们表明它能抑制完整人支气管上皮细胞中STAT6的磷酸化,提示其在哮喘治疗中的潜在应用。
