STRUCTURAL ANALOGS OF LY292728, A HIGHLY POTENT XANTHONE DICARBOXYLIC-ACID LEUKOTRIENE B-4 RECEPTOR ANTAGONIST - SPATIAL POSITIONING OF THESECONDARY ACID GROUP
We report the preparation and pharmacologic activity of three spatial
analogues of LY292728, a highly potent xanthone dicarboxylic LTB(4) re
ceptor antagonist. Molecular modeling of these compounds has helped to
further elucidate the nature of the secondary acid binding site of th
e LTB(4) receptor.
