H. Hu et al., SYNTHESIS AND PROTEIN-KINASE-C INHIBITORY ACTIVITIES OF INDANE ANALOGS OF BALANOL, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 6(8), 1996, pp. 973-978
Regio- and stereoisomeric indane analogs (4-6) of balanol (-)-1, a pot
ent protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, were synthesized in which the pe
rhydroazepine of balanol was replaced by an indane nucleus. Analog (-)
-4 and its racemic regioisomer 6 were found to have highly potent PKC
inhibitory activities. In addition, compound (-)-4 displayed excellent
kinase selectivity for PKC over PKA. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Scie
