A PROCESS FOR PREPARING CHIRAL 2-(2-BENZYL-3-MERCAPTOPROPIONYL) AMINO-1-ALKANOLS

摘要

Chiral 2-(2-benzyl-3-mercaptopropionylamino)-1-alkanol derivatives and chiral 2-(2-benzyl-3-mercaptopropionylamino)-4-methylthiobutyric acids are inhibitors of enkephalinase enzyme, reflecting their clinical utility as analgesics or anticonvulsant agents, or as therapy for disorders in which endogenous enkephalin levels are below normal.
