Efficient synthesis of phenylene-ethynylene rods and their use as rigid spacers in divalent inhibitors

چکیده
The synthesis of phenylene-ethynylene rods and their use as rigid spacers is described. Alternation of a Sonogashira reaction and silyl group cleavage was used to obtain rigid spacers with even and odd numbers of phenylene units. Preliminary applications of these rods in divalent systems are shown. Inhibition studies with Pseudomonas Aeruginosa lectin LecA showed that the rigid spacer proved greatly beneficial for the inhibitory potency.

The synthesis of a new rigid spacer based on carbohydrate-triazole repeating units and their incorporation into divalent systems is described. Inhibition studies showed that a well-matched system with a rigid spacer with flexible ends leads to the most potent inhibition of Pseudomonas aeruginosa lectin LecA.

Several biscarborane-type derivatives of 8-iodo-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane (1), suitable as the precursors of linear metallacarborane-based molecular rods, were prepared. The synthesized closo-compounds contained two carborane moieties connected through a rigid linear unsaturated linker. The linkers were based on ethynylene and para-phenylene fragments and their combinations. The deboronati...
