Three disulfide rss or bonds it contains which are between cyson and sizzix between cis4 and cystein and between cistiv and cis13 these are shown in exaggerated fashion in the line angle graphic showing the chemical bonds within a study in discovery synthesis reported that two of fourteen strategies available to synthesize linoclotide were successful the successful
Ones involving triton protection of all cysteines or tritile protection of all cysteines except sysone and cystics which were protected with turk-butylsulfenyl groups the study also reported that solution phase oxidation disulfide formation was advisable over solid-supported synthesis for linoclatide and that the cysonecisics disulfide bridge was the most favored
Energetically history the drug was discovered at microbia inc which had been spun out of the whitehead institute in 1998 by postdocs from the lab of gerald think to commercialize the lab’s know-how and inventions related to microbial pathogens and biology in 2002 the company hired mark curry who had worked at the cyril division of minsanto and then had gone to sep
Wrecker curry directed the efforts that led to the discovery of linoclothide which was based on an enterotic sin produced by some strains of escherichia coley that caused travelers diarrhea the company started phase-i trials in 2004 under a partnership agreement announced in 2007 between forest laboratories and microbia forest would pay 70 billion in licensing fees
