摘要
A series of substituted tetra hydrofuroyl-1-phenylalanine derivatives was prepared and evaluated as VLA-4 antagonists. Substitution of the a carbon of the tetrahydrofuran with aryl groups increased the specificity for VLA-4 versus alpha(4)beta(7) while amide substitution increased the potency of the series without increasing the specificity. Substitution of the P carbon of the tetrahydrofuran with keto or amino groups slightly improved the specificity for VLA-4 versus alpha(4)beta(7) but with a significant loss in binding affinity for VLA-4.
