A simplified analog (WU-07047) of the selective Gαq/11 inhibitor YM-254890 has been synthesized, and an initial probe of its activity conducted. In the analog, the two peptide-based linkers in the cyclic YM-254890 have been replaced with hydrocarbon chains. This enables a convergent approach to the synthesis of the analog. Biochemical assays showed that while the simplified analog is not as potent as YM-254890, it does still inhibit Gq.
已经合成了选择性 Gαq/11 抑制剂 YM-254890 的简化类似物,并对其活性进行了初步研究。在类似物中,环状 YM-254890 中的两个基于肽的接头已被烃链取代。这使得类似物的合成可以采用收敛方法。生化测定表明,尽管简化类似物不如 YM-254890 有效,但它仍能抑制 Gq。
