“…22,23 Therefore, the Pim-3 enzyme assay was not routinely performed. In cell-based assays, the compounds were 8 30, 22 and 78 nM, respectively. Interestingly, between the set of enantiomers 8 and 9, the (R)-6'-Me enantiomer (9) was not only more potent in both enzymatic and cell-based assays, but also had lower microsomal turnover. The [5,5]-fused bicycles, 7, 9, 10, and 11, were further profiled in rat IV/PO PK.…”
