A novel necroptosis inhibitor—necrostatin-21 and its SAR study
摘要:
An initial structure-activity relationship study of the novel necroptosis inhibitor Nec-21 was described. Any changes of the tetracyclic scaffold were detrimental for the activity. Introduction of a substituent to 7 or 8 position (e.g., cyano or methoxy group, respectively), would increase the activity. The 7 and 8-position disubstituted compound 17b was 35-fold as potent as the lead, while EC50 reached 14 nM. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Unsuccessful attempts have been made to synthesize the pyrrolo analogues of equilenin and 3-desoxyequilenin. The synthesis of several carbazole derivatives required in this connexion is described.
