Synthesis of 19-[(2-azido-5-iodo)-benzoyloxy]-LTA4 and enzymatic conversion to the LTC4 analogue

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2000 Apr 3;10(7):665-8. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(00)00076-7.

Abstract

New photoaffinity probes based on C-19 position of leukotriene A4 has been synthesized from 19-hydroxy-LTA4 methyl ester. Enzymatic conversion into the LTC4 analogue yielded a potential tool for the study of cys-LT2 receptors.
