  • Publication number: 20080280769
    Abstract: A fragment-based strategy, involving “multicomponent reaction chemistry” (MCR), can identify novel chemotypes that disrupt the p53/MDM2 or p53/MDM4 complex employs. This approach uses high resolution structural information to delineate the region of a first protein or a ligand that is nestled within the binding pocket of a second target protein. The identified region is imported into a database containing MCR scaffolds to generate a virtual library of compounds, which subsequently are docked into the binding pocket of the target protein. Results from docking then are used to select compounds for synthesis and screening. A complementary, NMR-based methodology allows for screening the ability of compounds, selected using MCR, to disrupt the p53/MDM2 or p53/MDM4 complex.

  • Patent number: 6759424
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel imidazolidine derivatives of the formula I, in which B, E, W, Z, R, R0, R2, R3, e and h have the meanings indicated in the application. The compounds of the formula I are valuable pharmaceutical active compounds, which are suitable, for example, for the therapy and prophylaxis of inflammatory disorders, for example of rheumatoid arthritis, or of allergic disorders. The compounds of the formula I are inhibitors of the adhesion and migration of leucocytes and/or antagonists of the adhesion receptor VLA-4 belonging to the integrins group. They are generally suitable for the therapy or prophylaxis of illnesses which are caused by an undesired extent of leucocyte adhesion and/or leucocyte migration or are associated therewith, or in which cell-cell or cell-matrix interactions which are based on interactions of VLA-4 receptors with their ligands play a part.
