C. Garcia-echevarria et al., A new structural class of selective and non-covalent inhibitors of the chymotrypsin-like activity of the 20S proteasome, BIOORG MED, 11(10), 2001, pp. 1317-1319
We describe the identification and in vitro characterization of a series of
2-aminobenzylstatine derivatives that inhibit non-covalently the chymotryp
sin-like activity of the 20S proteasome. Our initial SAR data demonstrate t
hat the 2-aminobenzylstatine core structure can effectively serve as the ba
sis for designing potent, selective and non-covalent inhibitors of the chym
otrypsin-like activity of the 20S proteasome. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd
