摘要
A series of substituted N-(3,5-dichlorobenzenesulfonyl)-L-prolyl- and alpha-methyl-L-prolyl-phenylalanine derivatives was prepared as VLA-4/VCAM antagonists. The compounds showed excellent potency with a wide variety of neutral, polar, electron withdrawing or donating groups on the phenylalanine ring (IC50 approximately 1 nM). Heteroaryl ring substitution for phenylalanine was also well tolerated. Pharmacokinetic studies in rat were performed on a representative set of compounds in both series.
