Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2009 Jan 1;19(1):199-202. Epub 2008 Nov 5. The P4 region of a series of oxamyl dipeptide caspase inhibitors was optimized by the combination of anti-apoptotic activity in the Jurkat/Fas (JFas) cellular assay and membrane permeability in the PAMPA assay. Two highly potent anti-apoptotic agents with moderate membrane permeability, 29 and 36, showed strong in vivo efficacy in a murine model of alpha-Fas-induced liver injury. |
