Abstract
A series of thiazole-4-carboxylic acid thiazol-2-ylamide (TCAT, 4) derivatives were designed and synthesized according to simple bioisosteric replacement from previously reported pyridine-2-carboxylic acid thiazol-2-ylamide (PCAT) MetAP inhibitors. The preliminary SAR studies demonstrated that these TCAT series of compounds showed different activity and selectivity compared with those of the corresponding PCAT compounds. These findings provide useful information for the design and discovery of more potent inhibitors of type I MetAPs.
