Potent and selective non-thiol-containing inhibitors of protein farnesyltransferase are described. FTI-276 (1) was transformed into pyridyl ether analogue 19. The potency of pyridyl ether 19 was improved by modification of the biphenyl core to that of an

This paper describes the discovery of a new non-peptide endothelin A (ET(A)) selective ligand, 2,4-dibenzyloxybenzoic acid 3, which inhibits the binding of [125I]ET-1 to ET(A) receptors with an IC50 of 9 μM (ET-1 = endothelin-1). Optimisation of 3 resulted in compound 52 which had an IC50 of 1 μM. One of the analogues of 3, compound 15, was examined in a functional assay and shown to antagonise ET-1-induced contraction of rat aorta. The identification of 3 was made through the application of ChemDBS-3D searching of our corporate database. The 3D query, using an aromatic ring to a carboxylic acid group separated by 10.2 ± 1.1 A, was derived from an examination of common pharmacophoric distances found in the low energy conformations of two known ET(A) antagonists, the cyclic pentapeptide BQ 123 1 and myriceron caffeoyl ester 2.
