Abstract

Unsaturated and fluorinated analogues of aspartyl‐β‐phosphate were synthesised as potential inhibitors of the bacterial enzyme aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase (ASA‐DH). Acetylenic and Z__‐olefinic analogues showed competitive inhibition, but an__ E__‐olefinic analogue was inactive. A monofluoromethylene phosphonate competed poorly, but showed time‐dependent inhibition of ASA‐DH in the absence of phosphate. Simulated docking procedures were used to rationalise the results. These studies showed that substrate and inhibitor binding are mediated by interaction with two active‐site arginine residues, and for likely covalent attachment to the active‐site thiol group, electrophilic carbon atoms should be located 4.5 Å, or less, from the thiol.__

The synthesis of methylene phosphonate, difluoromethylene phosphonate and phosphoramidate analogues of aspartyl phosphate, together with reduced analogues, is described. These compounds were shown to be effective inhibitors of aspartate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (ASA-DH) from Escherichia coli. Howe
