Soluble-polymer supported synthesis of a prostanoid library: identification of antiviral activity

Org Lett. 1999 Dec 2;1(11):1859-62. doi: 10.1021/ol991130j.

Abstract

[formula: see text] The prostaglandins are potent natural products taking part in many biological processes. The "convergent generation of diversity" from a "toolbox" of prostanoid components, augmented with additional polymer-supported transformations, can enable construction of valuable libraries. A parallel-pool strategy was used to assemble a small library of prostanoids. The inhibition of a herpes-family virus demonstrated the potential for new drug discovery.
