Identification of potent type I MetAPs inhibitors by simple bioisosteric replacement. Part 2: SAR studies of 5-heteroalkyl substituted TCAT derivatives

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2005 Sep 15;15(18):4130-5. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2005.06.005.

Abstract

Systematic SAR studies on the thiazole ring 5-substituent of TCAT derivatives revealed that the introduction of a beta-alkoxy or an amino group enhanced the inhibitory activity significantly. The present compounds are representative of specific Co(II)-MetAP1 inhibitors. Before the physiologically relevant metal ions for MetAPs are established, these small molecular compounds could be used as tools for detailed biological studies.
