Through directed screening of compounds prepared as metalloprotease inhibitors a compound, CGS 30084, that had potent endothelin converting enzyme-1 (ECE-1) in vitro inhibitory activity (IC50 = 77 nM) was identified. Herein we report the synthesis and optimization of ECE-1 inhibitory activity of additional analogues from this lead. Compound 3c, the thioacetate methyl ester derivative of compound 4c, was found to be a long acting inhibitor of ECE-1 activity in rats after oral administration. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
