Abstract :
A novel class of indole-based endothelin-converting enzyme (ECE) inhibitors was identified by high throughput screening. We report systematic optimization of this compound class by means of classical and solid-phase chemistry. Optimized compounds with a bisarylamide side chain at the 2-position of the indole skeleton exhibit low-nanomolar activity on ECE.
