Synthesis, biological evaluation, and molecular modelling studies of potent human neutrophil elastase (HNE) inhibitors

We report the synthesis and biological evaluation of a new series of 3- or 4-(substituted)phenylisoxazolones as HNE inhibitors. Due to tautomerism of the isoxazolone nucleus, two isomers were obtained as final compounds (2-NCO and 5-OCO) and the 2-NCO derivatives were the most potent with IC50 value...
