Fluorinated dihydroquinolines as potent n-NOS inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 Feb 9;14(3):743-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2003.11.022.

Abstract

Fluorinated dihydroquinolines showed reduced basicity of the amidine function. Their syntheses and potencies as neuronal nitric oxide synthase (n-NOS) inhibitors are reported.
