electrostatic binding to a DNA phosphate group. Loss of correlation found with the parameters associated with the diamino side chain in series III when series I and III were combined suggests that perhaps different substitu-ents at position 7 dictate different drug-DNA orientations which therein alter the manner in which the 4-diamino side chain is able to interact with the DNA backbone.Antimalarials. 7-Chloro-4-(substituted amino)quinolines

MDL 28,726 is a key intermediate in the synthesis of the ACE
inhibitors MDL 27,210A and MDL 100,240. An efficient nine-step synthesis of this tricyclic acid, which has three chiral
centers, was developed beginning with 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran.
A key step in the synthesis features an enzyme-catalyzed
resolution of the lithium salt of the N-trifluoroacetamide of
(R,S)-6-hydroxynorleucine. All of the steps were optimized and
completed in reactor equipment using environmentally acceptable processes. Process development of this route is described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
