Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Apr 1;17(7):1908-11. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.01.036. Epub 2007 Jan 24.

Abstract

A new class of lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) antagonists is described. Elaboration of the 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolizin-5(7aH)-one scaffold resulted in the synthesis of potent inhibitors of the LFA-1/ICAM-1 interaction. Along with the in vitro activity, we present the X-ray crystal structure of the complex of compound 9b, in a novel binding mode to the I-domain of LFA-1.
