Article: Anthranilamide inhibitors of factor Xa.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: SAR about the B-ring of a series of N(2)-aroyl anthranilamide factor Xa (fXa) inhibitors is described. B-ring o-aminoalkylether and B-ring p-amine probes of the S1' and S4 sites, respectively, afforded picomolar fXa inhibitors that performed well in in vitro anticoagulation assays.Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters 10/2007; 17(17):4832-6. · 2.55 Impact Factor -
Article: Nonpeptide luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone antagonists derived from erythromycin A: design, synthesis, and biological activity of cladinose replacement analogues.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The design and synthesis of a series of 11,12-cyclic carbamate derivatives of 6-O-methylerythromycin A that are novel, nonpeptide LHRH antagonists, is described. The macrolide antagonist 1, discovered during a screen of our chemical repository, was compared to a macrocyclic peptide antagonist 2 using molecular modeling, thus providing a model for the design of more potent antagonists. Medicinal chemistry efforts to find a replacement for cladinose at position 3 of the erythronolide core provided a series of oxazolidinone carbamates that were equally as active as the cladinose-containing parent macrolides. The descladinose LHRH antagonist 14 has 1-2 nM affinity for both rat and human LHRH receptors and is a potent inhibitor of LH release (pA2 = 8.76) in vitro. In vivo, 14 was found to produce a dose-dependent suppression of LH in male castrate rats via both i.v. and p.o. dosing.Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 03/2004; 47(5):1085-97. · 5.25 Impact Factor
