✦ Synopsis


A series of N-substituted 3-(2-mercaptoethyl)-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acids were synthesized as inhibitors of glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII). Those containing carboxybenzyl or carboxyphenyl groups at the N-position exhibited potent inhibitory activity against GCPII. These indole-based compounds represent the first example of achiral GCPII inhibitors and demonstrate greater tolerance of the GCPII active site for ligands with significant structural difference from the endogenous substrate, N-acetyl-aspartylglutamate.
