We have identified a new class of chymase inhibitor through a substituent analysis of MWP00965, which we previously discovered by in silico screening. TY-51076 (7) showed high potency (IC50 = 56 nM) and excellent selectivity for chymase compared to chymotrypsin and cathepsin G ( > 400-fold). The synthesis and structure-activity relationship of this class are described. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
