Quinoline-4-acetamides were designed as potential phospholipase Al inhibito
rs by structural based method and synthesized. The chemical structures of t
he obtained compounds were confirmed by elemental analyses, H-1 NMR and MS.
Preliminary bioassay study shows that quinoline-4-acetamides display certa
in inhibition to sPLA(2). (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserve
