title: Lysyl 4-aminobenzoic acid derivatives as potent small molecule mimetics of plasminogen kringle 5.
abstract: Kringle 5, a proteolytic fragment of human plasminogen has been shown to potently inhibit angiogenesis. The tetrapeptide KLYD derived from kringle 5 has been shown to capture many activities of kringle 5 in vitro. Further simplification has been achieved by replacement of the two central amino acids with a 4-aminobenzoic acid spacer group. Molecules displaying the required recognition groups on this core show similar in vitro properties to kringle 5, and are able to displace radiolabeled protein from a high affinity binding site on endothelial cells.
