K. Nakao et al., Benzoxazoline and benzimidazoline derivates as novel aldose reductase inhibitors, part 1: Lead evolution, MED CHEM RE, 9(7-8), 1999, pp. 621-630
Based on the 3D-pharmacophore model of aldose reductase inhibitors obtained
by SD-QSAR and protein-ligand docking study of spiroquinazolinones, we des
igned novel benzoxazoline and benzimidazoline derivatives. These compounds
exhibited high potency enough to be promising as leads for further optimiza
tion.
