Sin, Ny; Kim, Kyung Bo; Elofsson, Mikael; Meng, Lihao; Auth, Hak; Kwok, Benjamin H. B.; Crews, Craig M. published their research in Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters on August 2 ,1999. The article was titled 《Total synthesis of the potent proteasome inhibitor epoxomicin: a useful tool for understanding proteasome biology》.Formula: C13H26N2O4 The article contains the following contents:
Epoxomicin (I), a peptide α’,β’-epoxy-ketone isolated from the actinomycete strain NumberQ996-17, possesses potent in vivo anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory activities. The authors report the first syntheses of I, [3H]-I , and a biotinylated I analog as well as the absolute configuration of the epoxide stereo-center. The natural product and derivatives have permitted the first identification of the proteasome as the specific cellular target of I. In the experimental materials used by the author, we found (S)-N-Methyl-N-methoxy-2-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-4-methylpentanamide(cas: 87694-50-6Formula: C13H26N2O4)
(S)-N-Methyl-N-methoxy-2-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-4-methylpentanamide(cas: 87694-50-6) belongs to amides.Formula: C13H26N2O4Amides are pervasive in nature and technology. Proteins and important plastics like Nylons, Aramid, Twaron, and Kevlar are polymers whose units are connected by amide groups (polyamides); these linkages are easily formed, confer structural rigidity, and resist hydrolysis.
