Abstract

Analogues of Bz-423, a pro-apoptotic 1,4-benzodiazepine with potent activity in animal models of systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis, have been designed, synthesized, and evaluated in cell-culture assays. The results of these experiments have defined the structural elements of this new cytotoxic agent required for activity.
