TNF-α converting enzyme (TACE) inhibitors are promising agents to treat inflammatory disorders and cancer. We have investigated novel tartrate diamide TACE inhibitors where the tartrate core binds to zinc in a unique tridentate fashion. Incorporating (R)-2-(2-N-alkylaminothiazol-4-yl)pyrrolidines into the left hand side amide of the tartrate scaffold led to the discovery of potent and selective TACE inhibitors, some of which exhibited good rat oral bioavailability.
TNF-α 转化酶(TACE)抑制剂是治疗炎症性疾病和癌症的有前途的药物。我们研究了新型的酒石酸二酰胺 TACE 抑制剂,其中酒石酸核心以独特的三齿方式结合锌。将(R)-2-(2-N-烷氨基噻唑-4-基)吡咯烷引入酒石酸支架的左手侧酰胺中,发现了有效的、选择性的 TACE 抑制剂,其中一些具有良好的大鼠口服生物利用度。
