Y. Aoyama et al., Total synthesis of human chymase inhibitor methyllinderone and structure-activity relationships of its derivatives, BIOORG MED, 11(13), 2001, pp. 1695-1697
Total synthesis of human chymase inhibitor methyllinderone has been achieve
d in only four steps with an overall yield of 21% from dimethyl squarate. W
e developed an efficient synthetic method for obtaining methyllinderone der
ivatives and found the active compound. In addition, we propose the inhibit
ion mechanism of the active compound against human chymase using calculatio
