Identification of small molecule sulfonic acids as ecto-5'-nucleotidase inhibitors
Ecto-5'-Nucleotidase inhibitors have great potential as anti-tumor agents. We have investigated biochemical properties of human and rat ecto-5'-Nucleotidases and characterized 19 small molecule sulfonic acid derivatives as potential inhibitors of ecto-5'-Nucleotidases. We identified 11 potent inhibitors of human and rat ecto-5'-Nucleotidases and checked their selectivity. Compound 10 (Sodium 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonate) with Ki value of 0.66 μM and 19 (N-(4- sulfamoylphenylcarbamothioyl) pivalamide) with Ki value of 0.78 μM were identified as the most potent inhibitors for human and rat ecto-5'-Nucleotidase, respectively. The present compounds have low molecular weights, water solubility and equal potency as compared to the reported inhibitors.

Process for the preparation of D(-)αphenylglycine
The invention provides a process for the preparation of D(-)αphenylglycine by resolution of DLαphenylglycine by means of D(+)camphorsulfonic acid. The present process enables the preparation of D(-)αphenylglycine at a minimum loss of the very expensive starting materials, such as DLαphenylglycine and D(+)camphorsulfonic acid. The salts produced in this process are precipitated from the resolution filtrate and the filtrate may be discarded as effluent water without any danger to the environment.
