Usage

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
N-[[[(1S)-1-CARBOXY-3-METHYLBUTYL]AMINO]CARBONYL]-L-GLUTAMIC ACID is used as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of pain and inflammation. Its application is based on its ability to inhibit glutamate carboxypeptidase II, which in turn increases the activation of mGluR3 by NAAG released from peripheral sensory neurites, resulting in analgesia.
Used in Neurological Applications:
In the field of neurology, N-[[[(1S)-1-CARBOXY-3-METHYLBUTYL]AMINO]CARBONYL]-L-GLUTAMIC ACID is used as a modulator of neurotransmission. By inhibiting the hydrolysis of NAAG, it can potentially influence the synaptic levels of group II mGluRs, which may have implications for the treatment of various neurological disorders associated with glutamate dysregulation.
Used in Research and Development:
N-[[[(1S)-1-CARBOXY-3-METHYLBUTYL]AMINO]CARBONYL]-L-GLUTAMIC ACID is also utilized in research and development for the study of glutamate carboxypeptidase II and its role in neurotransmission, as well as the development of new therapeutic strategies targeting this enzyme for the treatment of pain, inflammation, and other related conditions.

Biological Activity

Potent inhibitor of glutamate carboxypeptidase II and III (GCP II and III/NAAG peptidase/NAALADase) (K i values are 0.8 and 23 nM respectively) that inhibits the hydrolysis of NAAG (IC 50 = 2.4 nM) . Does not directly interact with NMDA or metabotropic glutamate receptors. Reduces neuronal degeneration in a rat model of? traumatic brain injury (TBI) and reduces locomotor activity in the PCP-model of schizophrenia.

in vitro

as a potent inhibitor of glutamate carboxypeptidase ii and iii (gcp ii and iii) with kivalues of 0.8 and 23 nm respectively, zj-43 inhibited the hydrolysis of naag via indirect interactions with nmda or metabotropic glutamate receptors [1].

in vivo

intravenous injection of zj-43 coiuld suppress both phases of the agitation behaviour induced by paw formalin injection in the rat neuropathic pain model. moreover, intravenous administration of zj-43 attenuated the level of mechanical allodynia induced by the nerve ligation. these effects of zj-43 in both the formalin test and the partial sciatic nerve ligation model were completely antagonized by pretreatment with ly-341495, which was a highly selective group ii mglur antagonist [1].

IC 50

2.4 nm

Structure-activity relationship studies of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) inhibitors derived from α-amino acid with (S)- or (R)-configuration at P1′ region

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), a type II membrane glycoprotein, is considered an excellent target for the diagnosis or treatment of prostate cancer. We previously investigated the effect of β- and γ-amino acids with (S)- or (R)-configuration in the S1 pocket on the binding affinity for PSMA. However, comprehensive studies on the effect of α-amino acid with (R)-configuration in the S1′ pocket has not been reported yet. We selected ZJ-43 (1) and DCIBzL (5) as templates and synthesized their analogues with (S)- or (R)-configuration in the P1 and P1′ regions. The PSMA-inhibitory activities of compounds with altered chirality in the P1′ region were dropped dramatically, with their IC50 values changing from nM to μM ranges. The compounds with (S)-configuration at both P1 and P1′ regions were more potent than the others. The findings of this study may provide insights regarding the structural modification of PSMA inhibitor in the S1′ binding pocket.

Structural and computational basis for potent inhibition of glutamate carboxypeptidase II by carbamate-based inhibitors

A series of carbamate-based inhibitors of glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII) were designed and synthesized using ZJ-43, N-[[[(1S)-1-carboxy-3-methylbutyl]amino]carbonyl]-L-glutamic acid, as a molecular template in order to better understand the impact

Site-Selective, Late-Stage C?H 18F-Fluorination on Unprotected Peptides for Positron Emission Tomography Imaging

Peptides are often ideal ligands for diagnostic molecular imaging due to their ease of synthesis and tuneable targeting properties. However, labelling unmodified peptides with 18F for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging presents a number of challenges. Here we show the combination of photoactivated sodium decatungstate and [18F]-N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide effects site-selective 18F-fluorination at the branched position in leucine residues in unprotected and unaltered peptides. This streamlined process provides a means to directly convert native peptides into PET imaging agents under mild aqueous conditions, enabling rapid discovery and development of peptide-based molecular imaging tools.
