Tóm tắt

Syntheses and physicochemical properties are described of several novel naphthoquinonyl amino acid derivatives, which are potential components in cytotoxic peptide conjugates. These compounds include N ε- and N α-naphthoquinonyl derivatives of lysine as well as N-naphthoquinonyl-carboxylic derivatives. The former class of compounds can be employed as building blocks in a stepwise peptide synthesis, whereas the latter two are adequate for postpeptide chain-assembly modifications. The ability of the naphthoquinonyl derivatives to produce semiquinone radicals and hydroxyl radicals (•OH), using chemical (i.e. NaBH4) and enzymatic (i.e. NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase) routes, respectively, was evaluated employing electron spin resonance spectroscopy.
