Ja. Robl et al., DUAL METALLOPROTEASE INHIBITORS .2. EFFECT OF SUBSTITUTION AND STEREOCHEMISTRY ON BENZAZEPINONE BASED MERCAPTOACETYLS, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 4(15), 1994, pp. 1795-1800
A structure-activity study of dual-acting ACE/NEP inhibitor 1A.was ini
tiated in order to ascertain what parameters effect in vitro activity
versus ACE and NEP. Unlike NEP, ACE was found to be remarkably toleran
t to a wide variety of permutations with respect to both the lactam nu
cleus and the pharmacophore side chain.
