Imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines: a new class of thromboxane A2 synthetase inhibitors

J Med Chem. 1985 Feb;28(2):164-70. doi: 10.1021/jm00380a003.

Abstract

The synthesis and structure-activity profile of a new class of potent and highly specific thromboxane A2 synthetase inhibitors is described. The most potent member of this series in vitro is determined to be imidazo[1,5-a]-pyridine-5-hexanoic acid (9).
