Synthesis of a bis-azido analogue of acromelic acid for radioisotope-free photoaffinity labeling and biochemical studies

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2006 May 1;16(9):2433-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2006.01.083. Epub 2006 Feb 15.

Abstract

A novel acromelic acid analogue containing a phenyl group possessing two different types of azido functional groups, of which one is the aromatic N3 acting as a photoaffinity group to bind to a target protein by photoirradiation and the other is alkyl N3 group which survives photolysis acting as a detecting group through the Staudinger-Bertozzi reaction to identify the ligated product, was designed and synthesized as a radioisotope-free biochemical probe potentially for studies on kainoid receptors.
