Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2009 Dec 1;19(23):6725-32. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2009.09.110. Epub 2009 Oct 2.

Abstract

We have identified the N(1)-benzyl-N(2)-methylethane-1,2-diamine unit as a substitute for the (S)-alanine benzylamide moiety for the design of co-activator associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1) inhibitors. The potency of these inhibitors is in the same order of magnitude as their predecessors and their clearance, volume of distribution, and half lives were greatly improved.
