Abstract

A novel series of potent and selective αvβ3/αvβ5 dual inhibitors was designed, synthesized, and evaluated against several integrins. These compounds were synthesized through a Mitsunobu reaction between the guanidinium mimetics and the corresponding central templates. Guanidinium mimetics with enhaced rigidity (ie,(2-pyridylamino) propoxy versus the 2-(6-methylamino-2-pyridyl) ethoxy) led to improved activity toward αvβ3. Exemplary ...
