Synthesis of imidazo[2,1-a]phthalazines, potential inhibitors of p38 MAP kinase. Prediction of binding affinities of protein ligands

Arch Pharm (Weinheim). 2002 Jan;335(1):7-14. doi: 10.1002/1521-4184(200201)335:1<7::aid-ardp7>3.0.co;2-l.

Abstract

Based upon molecular modeling, the pharmacophore of potential inhibitors of p38 MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinases) is discussed and the predictive binding affinities are calculated. Syntheses of original diarylimidazo[2,1-a]phthalazines obtained by Suzuki coupling are described.
