Abstract
Using a furanylthiazole acetic acid as a starting point, a novel series of benzoxazol-5-yl acetic acid derivatives have been identified as heparanase inhibitors. Several compounds possess an IC50 of ∼200 nM against heparanase, for example, trans 2-[4-[3-(3,4-dichlorophenylamino)-3-oxo-1- propenyl]-2-fluorophenyl]benzoxazol-5-yl acetic acid (16e). Several of the compounds show anti-angiogenic properties. Improvement to the DMPK profile of compounds has provided compounds of potential use in in vivo models. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
