摘要:
The serine protease urokinase (uPa) has been implicated in the progression of both breast and prostate cancer. Utilizing structure based design, the synthesis of a series of substituted 4-[2-amino- 1,3-thiazolyl]-thiophene-2-carboxamidine is described. Further optimization of this series by substitution of the terminal amine yielded urokinase inhibitors with excellent activities. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
