Biphenyl-4-ylcarbamoyl thiophene carboxylic acids as potent DHODH inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2006 Jan 15;16(2):267-70. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2005.10.011. Epub 2005 Oct 21.

Abstract

A previously discovered DHODH inhibitor series was further improved by replacing the cyclopentene ring by aromatic heterocycles. Different isomers of these compounds were prepared by the directed ortho-metallation procedure. The compounds are more active than the corresponding cyclopentene analogs and show potent effects on PBMC's proliferation.
