DISCOVERY OF SUBSTITUTED 8,9-DICARBOXYLDIBENZO [2,35,6] BICYCLO [5.2.0] NONAN-4-ONES WITH MODERATE BINDING-AFFINITY TO THE ENDOTHELIN ET(A)AND ET(B) RECEPTORS
Ra. Rivero et al., DISCOVERY OF SUBSTITUTED 8,9-DICARBOXYLDIBENZO [2,35,6] BICYCLO [5.2.0] NONAN-4-ONES WITH MODERATE BINDING-AFFINITY TO THE ENDOTHELIN ET(A)AND ET(B) RECEPTORS, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 5(13), 1995, pp. 1401-1404
Screening of our sample collection for novel structures with endotheli
n receptor (ET(A) and ET(B)) binding affinity, resulted in the discove
ry of structure I (R = H). This unique bicyclic diacid elicited modest
affinity for both cloned human receptors (0.8 mu M, ET(A) and 7.9 mu
M, ET(B)). Substitution at 'R' resulted in increased affinity for both
receptors.
