Pentosidine, a fluorescent advanced glycation endproduct that serves as a biomarker of diabetic complications, kidney dysfunction, oxidative stress, and aging and age‐related diseases, was synthesized from 2,3‐diaminopyridine and benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz) protected chiral amino acids N α ‐Cbz‐lysine and N δ ‐Cbz‐ornithine. Regioselective alkylation of 2‐(methylthio)imidazo[4,5‐ b ]pyridine, chlorination of methylthio group, and amination of 2‐chloro‐imidazo[4,5‐ b ]pyridine are the key steps. Hydantoin protection of amino acids was used and the deprotection under acidic condition was achieved in the presence of glycine. J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2011).
