D. Ok et al., STRUCTURE-ACTIVITY-RELATIONSHIPS OF THE NON-PEPTIDYL GROWTH-HORMONE SECRETAGOGUE L-692,429, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 4(22), 1994, pp. 2709-2714
Systematic investigation of the amino acid sidechain of L-692,429, the
prototype of a novel class of benzolactam growth hormone (GH) secreta
gogues, has led to the preparation of L-692,585, a 2(R)hydroxypropyl a
mino analog, which is twenty times more potent in vitro than L-692,429
. Additional amino modifications reported here further define the stru
cture-activity profile for L-692,429.
