title: An efficient and scalable synthesis of Isodesmosine creator: Gupta, Aikan creator: Sharma, Yogesh creator: Pawar, Ganesh P. creator: Ashish , Ashish creator: Nihalani, D creator: Chaudhari, Vinod subject: QR Microbiology description: Isodesmosine is 1,2,3,5-tetrasubstituted pyridinium-based amino acid substituted with four lysine derivatives found in elastin which is the main component of elastic fiber. Elastin plays a vital role in providing stretchy properties to tissues and body organs. Isodesmsoine is a proven to be useful biomarker for elastin degradation during the progressing stage of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and related diseases. The present work reported an efficient and gram-scale approach for the synthesis of Isodesmosine, starting from readily available Boc-Asp-OtBu using mild reaction conditions. publisher: Wiley date: 2022-05 type: Article type: PeerReviewed relation: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jhet.4441 identifier: Gupta, Aikan and Sharma, Yogesh and Pawar, Ganesh P. and Ashish , Ashish and Nihalani, D and Chaudhari, Vinod (2022) An efficient and scalable synthesis of Isodesmosine.
