  1. Abstract:

    We report a strategy based on bioisosterism to improve the physicochemical properties of existing hydrophilic, urea-based GCPII inhibitors. Comprehensive structure-activity relationship studies of the P1' site of ZJ-43- and DCIBzL-based compounds identified several glutamate-free inhibitors with K-i values below 20 nM. Among them, compound 32d (K-i = 11 nM) exhibited selective uptake in GCPII-expressing tumors by SPECT-CT imaging in mice. A novel conformational change of amino acids in the S1' pharmacophore pocket was observed in the X-ray crystal structure of GCPII complexed with 32d. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
