Wc. Xu et al., Novel protein kinase C inhibitors: Synthesis and PKC inhibition of beta-substituted polythiophene derivatives, BIOORG MED, 9(15), 1999, pp. 2279-2282
A series of beta-substituted polythiophene derivatives was synthesized thro
ugh palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction. Their structure-protein kinase C
(PKC) inhibitory activity relationship was studied. The carboxaldehyde and
hydroxymethyl derivatives of alpha-terthiophene were potent PKC inhibitors
(IC50 = 10(-7) M). (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
