title: Synthesis and biological activities of analogs of D-glucosyl-l-tyrosine, a humoral factor that stimulates transcription of the acyl-CoA binding protein in the pheromone gland of the Silkmoth, Bombyx mori.
abstract: beta-d-Glucosyl-O-l-tyrosine (1) is a humoral factor that stimulates transcription of the acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP) in the pheromone gland of the Silkmoth, Bombyx mori. This paper describes stereoselective synthesis of five analogs that changed the sugar and/or amino acid part in 1 and their stimulatory activities on the ACBP transcription in the pheromone gland of B. mori. Among the analogs tested, beta-d-galactosyl-O-l-tyrosine showed a 1/5 potency compared to the activity of 1.
