For the development of new synthetic method for unnatural amino acid esters, N-aryl phenylglycine Ο-alkyl esters 4a∼i were synthesized through esterification, bromination, C-N bond formation from commercially available phenylacetic acids. An efficient and practical reaction condition for esters 2a∼c was that the starting materials 1a∼c were refluxed in absolute methanol for 3 hours with catalytic concentrated hydrosulfuric acid. In addition, bromines 3a∼c were formated for 3h in dichloromethane at rt with N-bromosuccinimide. Bromines 3a∼c were also converted to 4a∼i through substitution of arylamines during refluxing for 24 hours in ethanol with triethylamine. Interestingly, ethyl esters 5a∼c were formed via transesterification reaction when the p-sulfamylanilino group was used as a nucleophile in ethanol solvent.

Nonclassical quinazolinone analogs I, II, and III, in which the glutamic acid moiety of the classical antifolates is substituted by phenylglycine, phenylalanine or aminobenzoic acid and their methyl esters, were synthesized and evaluated as lipophilic inhibitors of thymidylate synthase (TS). The target compounds were generally potent inhibitors of L. casei and human TS with $IC_{50}$ values within the narrow range of 0.2-10 ${\mu}$M and 0.003-0.03 ${\mu}$M, respectively. Further, most of the target compounds showed cytotoxicity against tumor cell lines of murine and human origin with $IC_{50}$ values of as low as 0.050 ${\mu}$M. Substitution of another hydroxyl or carboxylic acid/ester group at the phenyl ring further increased the potency of TS inhibition and cell growth inhibition. Most effective were compounds If and Ic in which extra carboxylic acid/ester was present at the phenyl ring with nanomolar $IC_{50}$ values of 0.0044 and 0.0093 ${\mu}$M against human TS and submicromolar cytotoxic growth inhibition against all four tumor cell lines.

최근 sucrose polyesters(SPE)와 더불어 유지대체 물질로서의 사용이 검토되고 있는 glucitol fatty acid polyesters(GPE)를 합성한 후, 화학적 구조 및 상대적 에스테르 분포에 따른 치환도를 조사하였다. 본 연구에서 합성한 GPE는 순상 HPLC에 의해 단일 에스테르 그룹으로 분리되었으며, 분리된 에스테르 그룹의 치환도는 6으로서 GPE 전체가 glucitol fatty acid hexaester임을 알 수 있었다. GPE의 IR 스펙트럼에서 $1747\;cm^{-1}$에 나타나는 흡수대는 GPE 분자내에 glucitol과 지방산을 연결하고 있는 에스테르 결합이 존재함을 보여주었다. GPE는 H-NMR 스펙트럼에서는 glucitol의 hydroxyl proton의 시그널이 존재하지 않음을 볼 때 glucitol의 모든 수산기가 지방산과의 에스테르 결합에 참여하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 GPE의 H-NHR 스펙트럼을 정량적으로 해석한 결과는 수산기가(hydroxyl value) 측정에 의해 결정된 GPE의 치환도와 일치하였다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 본 연구에서 합성한 GPE는 glucitol fatty acid hexaester임이 확인되었고 향후 유지대체물질로서 사용되어질 가능성을 지닌 것으로 생각되었다.

The objective of this study was to develop new self-organized nanogels as a means of drug delivery in patients with cancer. Pullulan (PUL) and deoxycholic acid (DOCA) were conjugated through an ester linkage between the hydroxyl group in PUL and the carboxyl group in DOCA. Three types of PUL/DOCA conjugates were obtained, differing in the number of DOCA substitutions (DS; 5, 8, or 11) per 100 PUL anhydroglucose units. The physicochemical properties of the resulting nanogels were characterized by dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The mean diameter of DS 11 was the smallest (approx. 100 nm), and the size distribution was unimodal. To determine the organizing behavior of these conjugates, we calculated their critical aggregation concentrations (CACs) in a 0.01-M phosphate buffered saline solution. They were $10.5{\times}10^{-4}mg/mL,\;7.2{\times}10^{-4} mg/mL,\;and\;5.6{\times}10^{-4} mg/mL$ for DS 5, 8, and 11, respectively. This indicates that DOCA can serve as a hydrophobic moiety to create self-organized nanogels. To monitor the drug-releasing behavior of these nanogels, we loaded doxorubicin (DOX) onto the conjugates. The DOX-loading efficiency increased with the degree of DOCA substitution. The release rates of DOX from PUL/DOCA nanogels varied inversely with the DS. We concluded that the PUL/DOCA nanogel has some potential for use as an anticancer drug carrier because of its low CAC and satisfactory drug-loading capacity.
