A. Salimbeni et al., DESIGN AND SYNTHESIS OF CONFORMATIONALLY CONSTRAINED ARGINAL THROMBININHIBITORS, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 7(17), 1997, pp. 2205-2210
A series of conformationally constrained arginal thrombin inhibitors w
as prepared starting from 5,6 or 5,7 bicyclic lactamic structures, tha
t an indirect approach of X-ray structure-based drug design indicated
as D-Phe-Pro dipeptide mimetics. The tetrahydroquinolyl sulfonamido de
rivative Ig (LR-D/009) displayed the best inhibitory potency (IC50=0.0
18 mu m), with good selectivity over plasmin and trypsin. (C) 1997 Els
