The design and synthesis of three novel polycyclic scaffolds containing sulfoximines are presented in this work, which exemplify that sulfoximines represent a real opportunity for the discovery of new drug candidates. Additionally, the structures present at least two points of diversification and contain a high level of sp-character, hence being very interesting 3D scaffolds. The compounds synthesized were added to the compound collection of the European Lead Factory.
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.
