Synthesis of optically active homocysteine from methionine and its use in preparing four stereoisomers of cystathionine.

چکیده
In order to synthesize four stereoisomers of cystathionine (CYT), D- and L-homocysteines (D- and L-Hcy) were synthesized from methionine (Met) by a facile procedure. L-Met was reacted with dichloroacetic acid in concentrated hydrochloric acid under reflux to give (4S)-1,3-thiazane-2,4-dicarboxylic acid hydrochloride [(4S)-TDC.HCl]. L-Hcy was obtained by treatment of (4S)-TDC.HCl with hydroxylamine. D-Hcy was also synthesized from D-Met via (4R)-TDC.HCl intermediate. The obtained D- and L-Hcy were condensed with (R)- and (S)-2-amino-3-chloropropanoic acid hydrochlorides under alkaline conditions to give four stereoisomers of CYT.

Considerable experimental evidence has accumulated indicating that cystathionine is an intermediate in the conversion of methionine to cystine (l-5). The following report describes the synthesis of the isomers of cystathionine and the testing of their ability to replace the sulfur-containing amino acids in the diet of the young rat. The name cystathionine was suggested for the thio ether, S-(Z-...

متن کاملChemical pathology of homocysteine. V. Thioretinamide, thioretinaco, and cystathionine synthase function in degenerative diseases.
Hyperhomocysteinemia was first associated with degenerative disease by observation of accelerated arteriosclerosis in children with inherited disorders of cystathionine synthase, methionine synthase, and methylene tetrohydrofolate reductase. The metabolic blockade of sulfate synthesis from homocysteine thiolactone in malignant cells is ascribed to a deficiency of a chemopreventive derivative of...
متن کاملHomocysteine accumulation causes a defect in purine biosynthesis: further characterization of Schizosaccharomyces pombe methionine auxotrophs.
Methionine synthase (EC2.1.1.14) catalyses the final step in methionine synthesis, i.e. methylation of homocysteine. A search of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe genomic database revealed a gene designated SPAC9.09, encoding a protein with significant homology to methionine synthase. Disruption of SPAC9.09 caused methionine auxotrophy, and thus the gene was identified as a methionine synthase and ...

In Aspergillus nidulans the pathway involving cystathionine formation is the main one for homocysteine synthesis. Mutants lacking cystathionine gamma-synthase or beta-cystathionase are auxotrophs suppressible by: (i) mutations in the main pathway of cysteine synthesis (cysA1, cysB1, and cysC1), (ii) mutations causing stimulation of cysteine catabolism (su101), and (iii) mutations in a presumed ...
