| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project aims to synthesize multifunctional bioprobes for the elucidation of fundamental biofunctions, and is composed of three themes as follows. 1) Vialinin B is a strong inhibitor of TNF-α production, but its target molecule was unknown. In order to clarify the target, a biotinylated phenylbenzofuran was synthesized. 2) Although the annonaceous acetogenins inhibit mitochondrial complex I, the detailed mechanism was unclear. A new synthetic method for preparation of cyclic ethers included in the acetogenins was developed, and was successfully applied to construct the probe core mimicking acetogenins. 3) Total synthesis of a couple of N-acetylglucosaminidase inhibitors, TMG-chitotriomycin and pochonicine, was accomplished, and the proposed structure of pochonicine was revised. These compounds synthesized in this project would be quite useful tools for clarification of the target molecule and for detailed understanding of the functions of the corresponding enzymes.
