effect | intraperitoneal injection of abrin can reduce the inflammatory reaction caused by staphylococcal toxin in the shoulder of mice, high concentration can inhibit the lysis of sheep red blood cells. The combination of 1-methyltryptophan (abradine) with a range of existing clinical chemotherapy drugs such as cyclophosphamide, cisplatin, doxorubicin, or paclitaxel showed excellent synergistic effects, become a promising chemical, immune combination therapy drugs. 1-methyltryptophan is expected to play an important role in anti-cancer therapy, and the development of its synthetic method will bring favorable social and economic benefits. |
preparation | in a three-necked flask with an ice water bath, 10.2g of tryptophan was added to ML of tetrahydrofuran (THF), under the condition of nitrogen protection, within 50min, 5g of commercial sodium amino acid was added in batches, and after adding the sodium amino acid, the ice water bath was removed to stir at room temperature (about 25 ° C) for 2 hours, the temperature of the reaction system was then reduced to 0 °c using an ice-water bath. A solution of 7.46G of methyl iodide in 50ml of THF was added dropwise to the above mixed solution with a constant-pressure dropping funnel within 30min, and after completion of the dropwise addition, the reaction was continued with stirring for 15 hours. After completion of the reaction, 30ml of water was added at room temperature to quench the reaction. The reaction mixture was poured into 6.5 ml of ether, and a large amount of solid was observed to precipitate. The solid was filtered with a Buchner funnel, and the obtained solid was dissolved in ml of water to obtain a solution, and 25ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid was added to adjust the pH, the precipitated solid was filtered off with suction again and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate to obtain a white solid powder product, 8.5g (yield 78%,m. P. 269 °c). |
