Abstract
Potent non-peptidic alpha(v)beta(3) antagonists have been prepared where deletion of an amide bond from an earlier series of linear RGD-mimetics provides a novel series of chain-shortened alpha(v)beta(3) antagonists with significantly improved oral pharmacokinetics. These chain-shortened alpha(v)beta(3) antagonists represent structurally novel integrin inhibitors.
