A novel series of potent and selective small molecule inhibitors of the complement component C1s
摘要:
Activation of the classical pathway of complement has been implicated in disease states such as hereditary angioedema, ischemia-reperfusion injury and acute transplant rejection. The trypsin-like serine protease C1s represents a pivotal upstream point of control in the classical pathway of complement activation and is therefore likely to be a useful target in the therapeutic intervention of these disease states. A series of thiopheneamidine-based inhibitors of C1s has been optimized to give a 70 nM inhibitor that inhibits the classical pathway of complement activation in vitro. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.
