摘要:
Screening of the Merck sample collection for compounds with CCR5 receptor binding afforded (2S)-2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)- 1-[N-(methyl)-N-(phenylsulfonyl)amino]-4,4'-piperidin-1'-yl)]butane S-oxide (4) as a potent lead structure having an IC50 binding affinity of 35 nM. Herein, we describe the discovery of this lead structure and our initial structure-activity relationship studies directed toward the requirement for and optimization of the 1-amino fragment.
