Abstract

The hydroxamic acid functionality can be incorporated in a variety of simple molecules to produce potent inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase. As an example of this, the structure-activity relationships in a series of w-phenylalkyl and w-naphthylalkyl hydroxamic acids are presented. Among the features described are the influence of hydrophobicity, aryl substitution, and modifications of the hydroxamate group on enzyme inhibitory potency. To ...
