摘要:
The invention disclosed herein discloses selected ribose isomers that are useful as PET probes (e.g. [18F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-arabinose). These PET probes are useful, for example, in methods designed to monitor physiological processes including ribose metabolism and/or to selectively observe certain tissue/organs in vivo. The invention disclosed herein further provides methods for making and using such probes.

摘要:
Bacterial infections, including Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections are a major health problem that has created a pressing need for new antibiotics. Pyridazinone, rhodanine, and pyrazolethione compounds effective inhibit the enzymatic activity of sortase A (srtA) found in gram positive bacteria are disclosed. A structure activity relationship (SAR) analysis led to the identification of several pyridazinone and pyrazolethione analogs that inhibit SrtA with IC50 values in the sub-micromolar range. Compounds that inhibit the S. aureus SrtA sortase may function as potent anti-infective agents as this enzyme attaches virulence factors to the cell wall. Many of these molecules also inhibit the sortase enzyme from B. anthracis suggesting that they may be generalized sortase inhibitors. The novel compounds, compositions, uses, formulations, medicaments, articles of manufacture provide improved materials, uses, and treatments useful in combating infectious disorders.

摘要:
A method for synthesizing L-ribose (1) and 2-deoxy L-ribose (12) from inexpensive D-ribose (2) is provided. The 5-O-trityl ribose (3) (prepared in 70 % yield from D-ribose) is reduced with borohydride to give the tetrol (4), which is then peracetylated to the tetraacetate (5). Hydrolysis of the trityl ether followed by Swern oxidation affords the aldehyde (7) via the alcohol (6). This aldehyde is a protected form of L-ribose, being L-ribose 2,3,4,5,-tetraacetate. Mild basic hydrolysis of the acetate affords L-ribose itself (1), thus ending an efficient six-step synthesis of (1) from (2) which proceeds in 39 % overall yield. In a second aspect of the invention, L-ribose is converted into the β-selenophenyl ribofuranoside (10) via the tetraester (9) in 71 % isolated yield for the four steps. Treatment of (10) with tributylstannane and AIBN furnishes in 84 % yield the tribenzoyl 2-deoxy-L-ribofuranoside (11) which, on basic hydrolysis, gives 2-deoxy L-ribose (12) in high yield. In a third aspect of the invention, L-arabinose (13) is converted into 2-deoxy L-ribose (12) via the arabinopyranosyl bromide (14), via similar reductive rearrangement with tributylstannane to give the 2-deoxy ribopyranose tribenzoate (16). Hydrolysis yields 2-deoxy L-ribose. In a third aspect of the invention, L-arabinose is converted into 2-deoxy L-ribose by an alternate route.
