Abstract

The synthesis and the structure-activity relationships (SAR) of analogues derived from the introduction of basic residues on ring D of quinolone-based inhibitors of IMPDH are described. This led to the identification of compound 27 as a potent inhibitor of IMPDH with significantly improved aqueous solubility over the lead compound 1.
