Identification of unique VLA-4 antagonists from a combinatorial library

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2002 Feb 25;12(4):685-8. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(01)00833-2.

Abstract

A combinatorial library of 28 pools of 180 compounds (345 diastereomers) was designed and prepared in support of the delineation of the SAR of two prototypical VLA-4 antagonists. Deconvolution of the active pools led to the identification of three novel series of VLA-4 antagonists with low nanomolar potencies.
