An efficient and concise synthesis of three types of multi-labelled histidines with stable isotopes to be used for investigating pharmacokinetics and enzymic reaction mechanisms in vivo is described.Selective deuteriation at C-3 and C-5 of DL-diamino acid 4 was achieved by hydrogen exchange to give DL-diamino acid 5.The imidazole ring was constructed by heating of compound 5 with NaSC(15)N to give labelled 2'-mercapto-DL-histidine 6, which was oxidized at C-2' to give the desired L-histidine L-7 after enzymic resolution.To replace deuterium at C-5' with hydrogen, the labelled histidine was heated in water (pH 5.0) at 180 deg C, and subsequent enzymic resolution gave L-histidine L-8.A similar sequence of reactions carried out on the diamino acid 5 with KS(13)C(15)N gave DL-histidine 7-(13)C.Deuteriation at C-2 and C-2' of 7-(13)C with DCl-D2O (pD 5.0) at 180 deg C and subsequent back-exchange of deuterium at C-2' with water (pH 7.0) at 120 deg C gave DL-histidine 10.Synthesis of optically pure L-histidine starting from L-aspartic acid is also described.The optical purity of the synthesized L-histidine was estimated to be 93.8 percent (e.e).
