Synthesis of new 3-alkoxy-7-amino-4-chloro-isocoumarin derivatives as new β-amyloid peptide production inhibitors and their activities on various classes of protease
A series of new 7-substituted-4-chloro-3-alkoxy isocoumarin derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of representative classes of proteases: serine protease (α- chymotrypsin, trypsin), cysteine protease (Caspase-3), and aspartyl protease (HIV- protease), 20S proteasome and also as inhibitors of amyloid peptide γ-secretase-mediated production. Protease inhibition selectivity is directly related to the structure of the ...
