Synthesis, evaluation and molecular modelling studies of 2-(carbazol-3-yl)-2-oxoacetamide analogues as a new class of potential pancreatic lipase inhibitors
2-(Carbazol-3-yl)-2-oxoacetamide analogues were evaluated for PL inhibitory activity. Compounds 7e, 7f and 7p exhibited potential PL inhibitory activity. Probable covalent bond formation of the compounds with Ser 152 of PL was determined. Hydrophobic interactions with the lid domain played an important role in PL inhibition.
