Synthesis and V-ATPase Inhibition of Simplified Lobatamide Analogues

[structure: see text] Simplified analogues of the lobatamides have been synthesized and evaluated for inhibition of bovine V-ATPase. The salicylate phenol, enamide NH, and the ortho-substitution of the salicylate ester have been shown to be important for V-ATPase inhibitory activity.
