Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2008 Apr 1;18(7):2373-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2008.02.066. Epub 2008 Mar 4.

Abstract

The syntheses of a new class of barbiturate-based inhibitors for human and Escherichia Coli methionine aminopeptidase-1 (MetAP-1) are described. Some of the synthesized inhibitors show selective inhibition of the human enzyme with high potency.
