From natural products to achiral drug prototypes: potent thrombin inhibitors based on P2/P3 dihydropyrid-2-one core motifs

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2009 Sep 15;19(18):5429-32. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2009.07.107. Epub 2009 Jul 26.

Abstract

A series of dihydropyrid-2-ones was synthesized and tested for inhibitory activity against serine protease enzymes. Moderate to low nanomolar inhibitory activities were obtained against thrombin and excellent selectivity against trypsin was observed.
