Pk. Chakravarty et al., QUINAZOLINONE BIPHENYL ACYLSULFONAMIDES - A POTENT NEW CLASS OF ANGIOTENSIN-II RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 4(1), 1994, pp. 75-80
A new series of quinazolinone-based AT(1) selective antagonists, beari
ng acylsulfonamides (-SO(2)NHCOR) as the tetrazole bioisosteres, was e
valuated. While AT(1) potencies remained similar to the tetrazole anal
ogs, the AT(2) receptor affinities were significantly improved with th
e introduction of acylsulfonamide groups. Several of these antagonists
displayed improved in vivo properties.
