Xd. Cao et al., SYNTHESIS OF NH-ACYL-ALPHA-AMINOAMIDES ON RINK RESIN - INHIBITORS OF THE HEMATOPOIETIC PROTEIN-TYROSINE-PHOSPHATASE (HEPTP), Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 5(24), 1995, pp. 2953-2958
Cinnamic acid derivatives were prepared on Rink resin using tert-butyl
-4-carboxycinnamate in a four-component Ugi condensation, Inhibition o
f the hematopoietic protein tyrosine phosphatase (HePTP) by these smal
l molecules is reported. An IC50 value of 3.9 mu M was determined for
the most potent inhibitor discovered.
