Structure-activity relationship of a series of non peptidic RGD integrin antagonists targeting α5ß1: part 1.

ABSTRACT

Potent antagonists of the integrin α(5)ß(1), which are RGD mimetics built from tyrosine are described. This letter describes the optimization of in vitro potency obtained by variation of two parts of the molecule, the basic group and the linker between the basic group and the phenyl central core.
