Preparation of biotinylated allosamidins with strong chitinase inhibitory activities

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1998 Nov 3;8(21):2987-90. doi: 10.1016/S0960-894X(98)00542-3.

Abstract

NaIO4 oxidation of allosamidin (1), a strong inhibitor of family 18 chitinases, followed by a coupling with Biotin Hydrazide afforded its mono- and dibiotinylated derivatives, 4 and 6. Reduction of 4 by NaBH4 afforded its reduced form 5. Each of these three biotinylated derivatives maintained strong chitinase inhibitory activity. Especially, 6 inhibited a Trichoderma chitinase as strongly as 1.
