M. Eda et al., PEPTIDYL HUMAN HEART CHYMASE INHIBITORS - 2 - DISCOVERY OF HIGHLY SELECTIVE DIFLUOROMETHYLENE KETONE DERIVATIVES WITH GLU AT P3 SITE, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 8(8), 1998, pp. 919-924
Appropriate structural modification of the difluoromethylene ketone de
rivatives at both P3 and P' positions led us to the discovery of pepti
dyl human heart chymase inhibitor 12h which shows potent activity with
Ki = 6 nM and high selectivity against closely related serine proteas
e bovine alpha-chymotrypsin (chymotrypsin Ki = >100 mu M). Using the c
ompound 12b, a docking study with human heart chymase was carried out
to presume probable interactions, (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All r
