Abstract

A novel class of L-lysine derivatives as aminopeptidase N (APN) inhibitors was designed and synthesized. Activity evaluation showed that compound C7 (IC50 = 9.6 ± 1.3 μM) and C20 (IC50 = 13.6 ± 1.9 μM) were equivalent to the positive control Bestatin (IC50 = 11.3 ± 1.6 μM).

Keywords: Lysine derivatives, Synthesis, APN, Inhibitor
