Jw. Lee et Wk. Anderson, DESIGN AND SYNTHESIS OF HETEROCYCLIC-ANALOGS OF MYCOPHENOLIC-ACID AS POTENTIAL CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC-AGENTS, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 5(8), 1995, pp. 861-866
A series of heterocyclic analogues 3-10 of mycophenolic acid were desi
gned as metabolically stable congeners possibly targeted for inosine m
onophosphate dehydrogenase. The synthesis, cytotoxic and anti-HIV acti
