Significance

A convenient solid-phase synthesis of a variety of photoaffinity probes was achieved by utilizing the Ns (Ns = Nosyl) strategy. Thus, the synthesis of the photoaffinity probe 9 was achieved in 47% overall yield from diazirine 1 and alkyl bromide 2. The carbon-nitrogen bond formation at the side chain was accomplished by the Mitsunobu reaction of the Ns amines (e.g. 4; Ns strategy). By using a similar synthetic route, six photoaffinity probes were prepared. The synthetic probes were evaluated via the labeling ability with the preseniline 1 C-terminal fragments (PS 1 CTFs), and 9 exhibited inihibitory activity of Ab40 (IC50 = 70 nM).
