Abstract:
Novel tricyclic FPT inhibitors with submicromolar FPT activity are described. Greatly enhanced FPT activity is realized with phthaloyl derivatized amino compound 2k, which showed FPT inhibitory activity of IC50 = 0.66 μM. Sulfonamides 5g and 50 were also found to be potent FPT inhibitor. SAR resulting from a variety of tricyclic amino acids and sulfonamide derivatives is discussed.
