  • Publication number: 20150056138
    Abstract: The invention features compounds and methods relating to hydroxy-proline analog inhibitors of the ASCT1 and ASCT2 neutral amino acid transporters useful for diagnostic purposes. These analogs are potent and selective inhibitors of ASCT2 and ASCT1-mediated amino acid transport as evidenced by significantly reduced glutamine or alanine transport-associated currents or radiolabeled substrate (amino acid) uptake in Xenopus oocytes expressing ASCT2 or ASCT1. Selectivity has been established in the same manner whereby reduced substrate associated current or substrate uptake is unobserved in Xenopus oocytes expressing ATA2, SN1, or EAAT(s) (excitatory amino acid transporter). The compounds and methods of the invention include radiolabeled inhibitors that can be used in research or clinical applications (e.g., for the treatment of cancer or ischemia-related central nervous system injury).

  • Patent number: 7807858
    Abstract: It was found that a fluoro derivative can be produced by reacting a hydroxy derivative with sulfuryl fluoride (SO2F2) in the presence of an organic base or in the presence of an organic base and “a salt or complex comprising an organic base and hydrogen fluoride”. According to the present production process, it is not necessary to use perfluoroalkanesulfonyl fluoride, which is not preferable in industrial use, and it is possible to advantageously produce optically-active fluoro derivatives, which are important intermediates of medicines, agricultural chemicals and optical materials, specifically 4-fluoroproline derivatives, 2?-deoxy-2?-fluorouridine derivatives, optically-active ?-fluorocarboxylate derivatives, and the like, even in a large scale.
