We report an efficient synthetic route to chiral pyrrolidine inhibitors of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) and crystal structures of the inhibitors bound to nNOS and to endothelial NOS. The new route enables versatile structure-activity relationship studies on the pyrrolidine-based scaffold, which can be beneficial for further development of nNOS inhibitors. The X-ray crystal structures of five new fluorine-containing inhibitors bound to nNOS provide insights into the effect of the fluorine atoms on binding.
我们报道了一种高效的合成手性吡咯烷抑制剂神经元型一氧化氮合酶(nNOS)的路线,以及抑制剂与 nNOS 和内皮型一氧化氮合酶结合的晶体结构。这条新路线可以促进基于吡咯烷骨架的结构-活性关系研究,这对于进一步开发 nNOS 抑制剂可能是有益的。与 nNOS 结合的五个新含氟抑制剂的 X 射线晶体结构提供了关于氟原子对结合影响的见解。
