Boronic acid compounds as potential pharmaceutical agents

Abstract: Boronic acid compounds have been used, because of their unique structural features, for the development of potent enzyme inhibitors, boron neutron capture agents for cancer therapy, and as antibody mimics that recognize biologically important saccharides. Consequently, there has been a surge of interests in boronic acid compounds. This study reviews the recent development in this area during the last six years.

“…1 H NMR spectra were recorded on a Varian-Mercury 400 MHz spectrometer, operating at ambient probe temperature unless specified elsewhere. Coupling constants (J) are given in Hz, and the multiplicity of the NMR signals is described as singlet (s), doublet (d), triplet (t), quartet (q) and multiplet (m).…”

“…2 For instance, boronic acid derivatives of amino acids are effective and reversible inhibitors of the serine proteases chymotrypsin and subtilisin. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] The mechanism of action for these compounds is believed to arise from the ability of the boron atom to coordinate via its empty p-orbital to the active hydroxyl groups of the enzyme. Boronic acid derivatives are also known to facilitate the transport of molecules across lipid bilayers, 10,11 an important attribute in the area of drug delivery.…”
