Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Sep 1;17(17):4837-40. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.06.054. Epub 2007 Jun 20.

Abstract

2,5,5-Trisubstituted oxazolones were identified as potent inhibitors of 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11beta-HSD1). The synthesis, structure-activity relationship and metabolic stability of these compounds are presented.
