Ja. Robl et al., DUAL METALLOPROTEASE INHIBITORS .3. UTILIZATION OF BICYCLIC AND MONOCYCLIC DIAZEPINONE BASED MERCAPTOACETYLS, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 4(16), 1994, pp. 2055-2060
A series of bicyclic and monocyclic diazepinones were incorporated as
conformationally restricted dipeptide surrogates in mercaptoacetyl dip
eptide dual-acting ACE/NEP inhibitors. A comparison was made between t
hese two classes of compounds as well as with the previously disclosed
ACE/NEP inhibitor 1. Compound 2a was found to exhibit high potency ve
rsus both enzymes in vitro as well as in vivo.
