All chemicals for synthesis were purchased from Alfa Aesar (Ward Hill, MA) or Aldrich (Milwaukee, WI). The identity of the synthesized compounds was characterized by
1H and
13C NMR on a Varian (Palo Alto, CA)
400-MR spectrometer and mass spectrometer (Shimadzu
LCMS-2020). The identity of the potent inhibitors was confirmed with high resolution mass spectra (HRMS) using an
Agilent 6550 iFunnel quadrupole-time-of-flight (Q-TOF) mass spectrometer with electrospray ionization (ESI). The purities of the final compounds were determined to be >95% with a Shimadzu
Prominence HPLC using a Zorbax C18 (or C8) column (4.6 × 250 mm) monitored by UV at 254 nm.
