Js. Mendoza et al., SYNTHESIS AND BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF CONFORMATIONALLY CONSTRAINED BICYCLIC AND TRICYCLIC BALANOL ANALOGS AS INHIBITORS OF PROTEIN-KINASE-C, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 5(19), 1995, pp. 2211-2216
A series of conformationally constrained bicyclic (20-25 and 28) and t
ricyclic (26 and 27) balanol analogues was prepared and evaluated as i
nhibitors of protein kinase C (PKC). Of special interest are bicyclic
balanol analogues 20 and 24 and the tricyclic analogue 26, which not o
nly retain the nanomolar activity for most PKC isozymes, but also disp
lay good selectivity over c-AMP dependent protein kinase (PKA).
