a The anchoring of 1 into the hydrophobic binding pocket of albumin (Alb) leads to the creation of Alb-Ru, which is capable of performing ring-closing metathesis. b Reactivity studies focused on the RCM activity of precursor 12 under various substrate concentrations and solvents. a20 mol% of glutathione added. Reactions were performed in triplicate; TON values were determined from product yields obtained by HPLC analysis. Michaelis–Menten kinetic graphs c and parameters d for substrates (2, 12, 14, 15). Summarized values are the substrate affinity (KM), turnover frequency (kcat), and catalytic efficiency (kcat/KM). Also presented are the TONArom using 1 mM substrate concentrations, which were incubated with 1 mol% of Alb-Ru in PBS/1,4-dioxane (9:1) for 2 h at 37 °C. Reactions were performed in triplicate. Data in c are represented as mean values ± SD, n = 3 independent experiments.
