First Synthesis of N-Acylated Photoactivatable Analogues of Glutathione Bearing an Aryl Azide Moiety

Abstract

N-Acylated photoactivatable analogues of glutathione bearing an aryl azide moiety were synthesized for the first time starting from S-tritylglutathione.

Key words

glutathione - photoactivatable - aryl azide - trityl group - N-acylation
