摘要
Three o-nitrobenzyl ether derivatives of choline (compounds A-C) were synthesized as photolabile cholinesterase inhibitors in order to study the mechanism of choline release from the enzyme active site. The key step of the synthesis was a simple and efficient Lewis acid-catalyzed opening of dioxolane rings derived from o-nitrobenzaldehyde and o-nitroacetophenone. Laser flash photolyses of compounds A-C were analyzed by UV spectroscopy, HPLC, and an enzymatic assay for choline. The quantum yields of photoconversion were determined, and the kinetics of choline release were analyzed by studying the decay of the transient aci-nitro intermediate at 405 nm. The observed rates varied considerably in function of both pH and the substituent at the alpha-benzylic position. Furthermore, we demonstrated that all three compounds possessed reversible inhibitory properties on both purified Torpedo acetylcholinesterase and purified human plasma butyrylcholinesterase. Compound A, O-[1-(2-nitrophenyl)ethyl]choline iodide, which displayed the highest quantum yield (0.27) and the most rapid photolysis rate (6.8 x 10(4) s(-1) at pH 6.5), represents therefore an interesting tool for the study of the fast process of choline release from cholinesterases by time-resolved Laue crystallography.
