Abstract: The serine protease urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) is thought to play a central role in tumor metastasis and angiogenesis. Molecular modeling studies suggest that 5-thiomethylthiopheneamidine inhibits uPA by binding at the S1 pocket of the active site. Further structure based elaboration of this residue resulted in a novel class of potent and selective inhibitors of uPA.
