Abstract
Based on the analysis of the crystal structure of the Ca2+ salt of ionomycin and the chemical and physical data on ionomycin, a number of ionomycin analogues have been synthesized to study the structural features affecting the Ca2+ binding and transport. Compounds 2, 3, and 4 were synthesized to study the effect of additional intramolecular oxygen coordination sites on Ca2+ transport. Compounds 5a–5d were prepared to study the effect of lipid solubility on Ca2+ binding and transport. Compounds 6a–6c were prepared to study the effect of the distance between the β-diketone and the carboxyl group on Ca2+ transport. A general synthetic route to these compounds has been developed. The key reactions in this route are the consecutive regioselective alkylations of the dianion of 2,4-pentanedione with the appropriate bromides.[Formula: see text]
