Electrophiles are commonly used for the inhibition of proteases. Notably, inhibitors of the proteasome, a central determinant of cellular survival and a target of several FDA-approved drugs, are mainly characterized by the reactivity of their electrophilic head groups. We aimed to tune the inhibitory strength of peptidic sulfonate esters by varying the leaving groups. Indeed, proteasome inhibition correlated well with the pKaof the leaving group. The use of fluorophores as leaving groups enabled us to design probes that release a stoichiometric fluorescence signal upon reaction, thereby directly linking proteasome inactivation to the readout. This principle could be applicable to other sulfonyl fluoride based inhibitors and allows the design of sensitive probes for enzymatic studies.
PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF GADOBENATE DIMEGLUMINE COMPLEX IN A SOLID FORM

Paragraph 0127; 0134, (2017/03/14)
The present invention discloses a process for the preparation of gadobenate dimeglumine complex in a solid form. In particular, said solid form is conveniently obtained by spray-drying a corresponding liquid suspension at a given temperature and concentration. The present invention is particularly advantageous for the industrial scale as the solid form may be obtained by employing water as a solvent, which is a non-toxic solvent, easy to handle and basically not requiring troublesome health or safety precautions.

Page/Page column 7-10, (2008/06/13)
The present invention refers to a process for preparing a compound of formula (I) through a carboxymethylation reaction occurring in the presence of a suitable alkylating agent and of a base, without the need of monitoring the pH of the reaction environment. The compound of formula (I) is a useful intermediate in the preparation of diagnostic contrast agents for MRI techniques.
