Title: N-(3-(p-azido-m-(/sup 125/I)iodophenyl)propionyl)-succinimide--a heterobifunctional reagent for the synthesis of radioactive photoaffinity ligands: synthesis of a carrier-free /sup 125/I-labeled cardiac glycoside photoaffinity label

Journal Article · · Anal. Biochem.; (United States)

A new heterobifunctional reagent, N-(3-(p-azido-m-iodophenyl)propionyl)-succinimide (AIPPS), was synthesized and chemically characterized. The radiochemical form of the reagent, (/sup 125/I)AIPPS, should be of general use as a photoactive reagent for the derivatization of free amino groups on a large variety of biologically active compounds, including many hormones. Amino-containing ligands can be derivatized with (/sup 125/I)AIPPS in a method which is similar to that used for the /sup 125/I-labeled Bolton-Hunter reagent (N-(3-(p-hydroxyphenyl)propionyl)-succinimide). The added advantage with (/sup 125/I)AIPPS, however, is that the ligand derivative is made both photoactive and radioactive in a single step. As an example of how this reagent can be used, we have prepared carrier-free (/sup 125/I)AIPPS and reacted it with the amino-containing cardiac glycoside, 4-amino-4,6-dideoxyglucosyl digitoxigenin (GluD). The radioiodinated cardiac glycoside, (/sup 125/I)AIPP-GluD, was purified by thin-layer chromatography and was carrier-free with a specific radioactivity of 2175 Ci/mmol. (/sup 125/I)AIPP-GluD was an effective photoaffinity label for Na,K-ATPase as shown by specific photoaffinity labeling of purified canine kidney enzyme and human erythrocyte enzyme.
