Structure-activity relationships of new N-acylanthranilic acid derivatives as plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 inhibitors

Abstract

Novel anthranilic acid derivatives having substituted N-acyl side chains were designed and synthesized for evaluation as plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) inhibitors. Compounds with a 4-diphenylmethyl-1-piperazinyl moiety on the acyl side chains in general exhibited potent in vitro PAI-1 inhibitory activity and good pharmacokinetic profiles after oral administration in rats. Compound 16f (TM5275) was identified as a promising candidate for further pharmacological evaluation. © 2011 Pharmaceutical Society of Japan.
