“…The first report of a PHM inactivator was trans ‐4‐phenyl‐3‐butenoate (PBA) (Bradbury, Mistry, Roos, et al, 1990) (Figure 3h). In addition to PBA and ring‐substituted PBAs (Langella et al, 2010), other PHM inactivators include trans ‐styrylthioacetate (Casara et al, 1996), 2‐[(phenylethynyl)thio]acetate (Casara et al, 1996), acrylates (Foster et al, 2011; Katopodis & May, 1990b; Rhodes & Honsinger, 1993), monoethyl fumarate (Katopodis & May, 1990b), 2‐, 3‐, and 2,4‐alkenoates (Rhodes & Honsinger, 1993), cinnamate and ring‐substituted cinnamates (Bradbury, Mistry, & Smyth, 1990; McIntyre et al, 2016), N ‐formyl amides (Klinge et al, 1994), and peptides with a C‐terminal vinylglycine (Zabriskie et al, 1994). Treatment of cultured mammalian cells and rats with PBA inhibits PHM activity and the biosynthesis of α‐amidated peptides (Abou‐Mohamed et al, 2000; Ogonowski et al, 1997).…”
