2,4,6-trisubstituted triazines as protein a mimetics for the treatment of autoimmune diseases

J Med Chem. 2010 Feb 11;53(3):1138-45. doi: 10.1021/jm901403r.

Abstract

A first-in-class series of low molecular weight trisubstituted triazines were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to mimic protein A binding to human IgG antibody. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) demonstrates that the 1,3-phenylenediamine component was essential for robust activity. Twenty-two compounds, represented by lead molecule 34, displayed significant activity compared to protein A. These compounds may prove useful for the treatment of autoimmune disease.
