Combinatorial synthesis of SSAO inhibitors using sonogashira coupling: SAR of aryl propargylic amines

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2001 Oct 8;11(19):2565-8. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(01)00506-6.

Abstract

The structure-activity relationships for semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) inhibitors based on arylpropynylamines was investigated using solution-phase combinatorial Sonogashira coupling. The results suggest that binding to the active site occurs by coordination of the amine to the proximal copper(II) and formation of a pi-complex between topaquinone and the electron-rich aryl group of the inhibitor.
