Structure-activity relationship of benzo[b]thiophene-2-sulfonamide derivatives as novel human chymase inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2003 Nov 17;13(22):4085-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2003.08.040.

Abstract

We have identified a new class of chymase inhibitor through a substituent analysis of MWP00965, which we previously discovered by in silico screening. TY-51076 (7) showed high potency (IC(50)=56 nM) and excellent selectivity for chymase compared to chymotrypsin and cathepsin G (>400-fold). The synthesis and structure-activity relationship of this class are described.
