Rj. Ife et al., 4-(2-PYRIDYL)-5-PHENYLTHIAZOLES AS NOVEL NON-BICYCLIC REVERSIBLE INHIBITORS OF THE GASTRIC H+ K+-ATPASE/, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 5(6), 1995, pp. 543-546
4-(2-Pyridyl)-5-phenylthiazoles, 3 (X = S), are shown to be reversible
, K+-competitive gastric H+/K+-ATPase inhibitors. It is suggested that
a hydrogen-bond between the protonated pyridine and the thiazole may
help the molecule adopt a conformation which mimics that of the previo
usly described quinoline based inhibitors such as 1 and 2.
