Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2013 Mar 1;23(5):1482-5. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2012.12.043. Epub 2012 Dec 21.

Abstract

A novel set of compounds containing a 4,5-dihydro-5-methylisoxazoline have been successfully designed as VLA-4 receptor antagonists. Compound (14p) had a high receptor binding affinity of 4 nM and also found to be metabolically stable in vitro.
