摘要
A computer-aided drug design strategy leads to the identification of a new class of p38 inhibitors based on the 2-tolyl-(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl-4-carboxamide) scaffold. The tolyl triazole amides provided a potent platform amenable to optimization. Further exploration leads to compounds with greater than 100-fold improvement in binding affinity to p38. Derivatives prepared to alter the physicochemical properties produced inhibitors with IC(50)'s in human whole blood as low as 83 nM. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
