Synthesis and biological evaluation of oxoindolin-3-ylidene ethyl benzothiohydrazides as non-peptide TPO mimics

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2010 Sep 1;20(17):5062-4. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2010.07.040. Epub 2010 Jul 15.

Abstract

A novel series of oxoindolin-3-ylidene ethyl benzohydrazides were designed, synthesized, and identified as small molecule agonists of thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor c-mpl. Sulfur-oxygen exchange in oxoindolin-3-ylidene ethyl benzohydrazides was found to improve their agonistic activities. Several oxoindolin-3-ylidene ethyl benzothiohydrazides have been identified as full agonists of c-mpl.
