Two fluorine-labeled analogs of LY333531, a potent, ATP-competitive, and isoform-selective inhibitor of protein kinase C-beta, have been prepared. 19 F-NMR labels were placed on the indole rings to probe for differences in the catalytic domains of the PKC isoforms. The fluorinated bis(indolyl)maleimide was prepared by a Steglich coupling of 5-fluoroindole with N-methyl dichloromaleimide, and was coupled to a chiral, aliphatic dimesylate prepared from 1(S)-[(2R)-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decanyl]3-buten-1-ol. The coupling-macrocyclization step was performed by slow addition of a mixture of the bis(indolyl)maleimide and the dimesylate to a suspension of cesium carbonate in DMF, and adjustment of the functionality provided the final labeled analog 1. A simplified analog 2 was prepared from diiodohexane by a similar procedure. Compounds 1 and 2 had IC(50)'s of 5 and 6 nM, respectively, against PKC-beta(II), and of 57 and 79 nM, respectively, against PKC-alpha. |
