Design and synthesis of a tetrahydropyran-based inhibitor of mammalian ribonucleotide reductase

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1998 Nov 17;8(22):3133-6. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(98)00575-7.

Abstract

A tetrahydropyran-based inhibitor (2) of mammalian ribonucleotide reductase (mRR) has been designed and synthesized based on the heptapeptide, N-AcFTLDADF (1), corresponding to the C-terminus of the R2 subunit of mRR. Inhibition studies revealed that 2 is indeed a competent inhibitor, albeit less potent than 1.
