摘要:
A series of substituted N-(3,5-dichlorobenzenesulfonyl)-(L)-prolyl- and (L)-azetidyl-beta-biaryl beta-alanine derivatives was prepared as selective and potent VLA-4 antagonists. The 2,6-dioxygenated biaryl substitution pattern is important for optimizing potency. Oral bioavailability was variable and may be a result of binding to circulating plasma proteins.
