(2S)-2-Amino-4-(butylsulfonimidoyl)butanoic acid (BD136012) is a building block containing a sulfoximine group. Several CDK and ATR inhibitors have exemplified the utilization of the NH sulfoximine group as abioisostere for a sulfonamide group to overcome the main project hurdles of aqueous solubility, sulfonamide-mediated off-target activity and IP. Moreover, its NH group could be expediently further functionalized through Buchwald-Hartwig coupling reaction and multifarious nucleophilic reactions.. Recommended Products is: 4381-25-3 and 1621962-30-8.

The antioxidant defense system in malignant cells, which involves antioxidant enzymes and antioxidant mols., is an innate barrier to photodynamic therapy (PDT). Because of the complexity of the endogenous antioxidant mechanisms of these cells, simply inhibiting individual antioxidant pathways has a limited effect on improving the lethality of ROS. To enhance the efficacy of PDT for tumor treatment, a versatile nanoparticle (NP)-based drug is developed, which the authors call PZB NP, containing the glutathione inhibitor L-buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) and the heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) inhibitor protoporphyrin zinc(II) (ZnPP) to suppress the innate antioxidant defense system of cancer cells in a two-pronged manner. BSO reduces intracellular glutathione levels to minimize ROS elimination and protein protection during PDT, and ZnPP inhibits the ROS-stimulated upregulation of the antioxidant HO-1, thus preventing ROS removal by cells after PDT. Thus, BSO and ZnPP synergistically suppress the antioxidant defense systems of cancer cells both during and after protoporphyrin-IX-mediated PDT in a two-pronged manner, resulting in tumor cell death through excess oxidative pressure. The results demonstrate that the construction of nanodrugs having dual antioxidation defense suppression properties is a promising route for the development of highly efficient ROS-based therapies.
