Fused pyridine derivativesFused pyridine derivatives R 0450Fluorinated Dihydroquinolines as Potent n-NOS Inhibitors. -Ongoing research leads to the synthesis of novel n-NOS inhibitors such as (X). It is noteworthy that the side chain at the benzene ring is important for a better selectivity. The fluorine atom reduces the basicity of the amidine function which may be crucial for the passage through the blood brain barrier (no yields given). -(JAROCH*, S.; REHWINKEL, H.; HOELSCHER, P.; SUELZLE, D.; BURTON, G.; HILLMANN, M.; MCDONALD, F.

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.
