Abstract

The design and preparation of ortho-substituted benzofused macrocyclic lactams are described. The benzofused macrocyclic lactams were designed as neutral endopeptidase 24.11 (NEP) inhibitors. Docking studies were carried out in a model of thermolysin (TLN) using the MACROMODEL and QXP modeling programs to select suitable ring sizes. These studies predicted that the 11-, 12-, and 13-membered ring macrocyclic lactams would be ...
