title: Syntheses and evaluation of amidinobenzofuran derivatives as tryptase inhibitors.
abstract: We report the syntheses and evaluation of amidinobenzofuran derivatives as tryptase inhibitors. Among the compounds we evaluated, 1,5-Bis[4-(5-amidinobenzofuran-2-ylcarbonyl)piperazinylca rbonylmethoxy]cyclooctane 26 (AY0068) was found to be a selective and potent non-peptide inhibitor. 26 was effective in PCA reaction in rats without showing antihistaminic activity.
