Notes:
The desire to replace the amide backbone of renin inhibitors with a new scaffold led us to explore vinylogous amides (enaminones). An initial attempt proved unsuccessful, a result explained after the fact via docking experiments. Based on this lesson, we designed a different vinylogous amide scaffold which incorportated one or more pyrrolinone rings into the backbone. Three of the four compounds gave IC50s in the 0.6 to 18 μM range. These compounds did not inhibit HIV-1 protease. Taken together, the results reported herein provide insights into the role of hydrogen bonding and steric interactions for binding to renin. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
