Most boronic acid enzyme<br />
<strong>in</strong>hibitors conta<strong>in</strong> an aliphatic<br />
carbon-boron bond<br />
Consequences <strong>of</strong> an aliphatic carbon-boron bond<br />
–Chemical reactivity is moderate and can lead to over reactivity<br />
with non-target prote<strong>in</strong>s – poor selectivity & specificity<br />
–Stability problems <strong>of</strong>ten arise via oxidation or proto-debor<strong>in</strong>ation<br />
–Oxidative metabolism can lead to elim<strong>in</strong>ation <strong>of</strong> boron and loss<br />
<strong>of</strong> biological activity<br />
–pKa range <strong>of</strong> 8-9 favors trigonal form <strong>in</strong> aqueous environment<br />
–Can pose synthetic challenges
