Discovery of novel non-peptidic ketopiperazine-based renin inhibitors
摘要:
Ketopiperazine 2 was designed from a previously published analog. Compound 2 was shown to be a novel, potent inhibitor of renin that, when administered orally, lowered blood pressure in a hypertensive double transgenic (human renin and angiotensinogen) mouse model. Compound 2 was further optimized to sub-nanomolar potency by designing an analog that addressed the S3 sub-pocket of the renin enzyme (16). (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
