Abstract

The synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of novel isobenzofuran-based compounds are described. The compounds were evaluated for their immunosuppressive effects of T-cell proliferation and IMPDH type II inhibitor activity in vitro, as well as their structure–activity relationships were assessed. Several compounds demonstrated highly efficacious immunosuppressive properties, especially compounds 2d, 2e, 2h and 2j, ...
