化学是神奇的,永远令人惊讶。结构的微小变化可能对其生理化学和药理学性质产生深远的影响。其中一个例子就是神奇的甲基,它作为氢的生物电子等排体,可以对化合物的药效、代谢和其他药理学性质产生奇迹功效。虽然化学家直觉能感受到神奇的甲基,但通常很难向我的生物学同事解释这一点,他们发现很难相信这样一个小的甲基取代基会对药物产生如此大的差异。从那以后,我整了一个标准答案。下面是对话的内容:
生物学家:我不明白为什么甲基会产生如此巨大的差异?
Jack:如果有选择,你会喝乙醇还是甲醇?
生物学家:当然是乙醇。
Jack:乙醇或甲醇有什么区别?
生物学家:甲基,但这是一个特例。
Jack:如果有选择,你会喝苯或甲苯吗?
生物学家:当然是甲苯,因为它在体内代谢成苯甲酸。
Jack:苯或甲苯有什么区别?
生物学家:现在我知道了!在这两种情况下,甲基会导致生死之別!
在药物设计中,甲基化可以提高效力,改善选择性,调节代谢,影响溶解度并减轻毒性。
