Abstract

Inhibition of intestinal carboxylesterases may allow modification of the pharmacokinetics/ pharmacodynamic profile of existing drugs by altering half-life or toxicity. Since previously identified diarylethane-1, 2-dione inhibitors are decidedly hydrophobic, a modified dione scaffold was designed and elaborated into a> 300 member library, which was subsequently screened to establish the SAR for esterase inhibition. This allowed the identification of ...
