Abstract
The design and synthesis of potent thiocarbamate inhibitors for carboxypeptidase G2 are described. The best thiocarbamate inhibitor N-(p-methoxybenzenethiocarbonyl)amino-L-glutamic acid 6d, chosen for preliminary investigations of in vitro antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy (ADEPT), abrogated the cytotoxicity of a combination of A5B7-carboxypeptidase G2 conjugate and prodrug PGP (N-p-{N,N-bis (2-chloroethyl)amino}phenoxycarbonyl-L-glutamate) toward LS174T cells. This is the first report of a small-molecule enzyme inhibitor proposed for use in conjunction with the ADEPT approach.Entities:
