Synthesis and evaluation of non-basic inhibitors of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA)
A series of non-basic naphthamides and naphthalene sulfonamides were synthesized and evaluated for uPA inhibition. Several non-basic compounds showed comparable uPA inhibition and selectivity with reference amidines. Recent drug discovery programs targeting urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) have...

Summary: | A series of non-basic naphthamides and naphthalene sulfonamides were synthesized and evaluated for uPA inhibition. Several non-basic compounds showed comparable uPA inhibition and selectivity with reference amidines.
Recent drug discovery programs targeting urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) have resulted in nonpeptidic inhibitors consisting of amidine or guanidine functional groups attached to aromatic or heteroaromatic scaffolds. There is a general problem of poor oral bioavailability of these charged inhibitors. In this paper, we report the synthesis and evaluation of a series of naphthamide and naphthalene sulfonamides as uPA inhibitors containing non-basic groups as substitute for amidine or guanidine groups. |
