6Q37, 6Q39 - PubMed Abstract:
Recent efforts to identify new highly potent arginase inhibitors have resulted in the discovery of a novel family of (3 R ,4 S )-3-amino-4-(3-boronopropyl)pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid analogues with up to a 1000-fold increase in potency relative to the current standards, 2-amino-6-boronohexanoic acid (ABH) and N -hydroxy-nor-l-arginine (nor-NOHA). The lead candidate, with an N -2-amino-3-phenylpropyl substituent (NED-3238), example 43 , inhibits arginase I and II with IC 50 values of 1.3 and 8.1 nM, respectively. Herein, we report the design, synthesis, and structure-activity relationships for this novel series of inhibitors, along with X-ray crystallographic data for selected examples bound to human arginase II.
