Abstract

The present invention relates to novel chain-fluorinated alkanoic acid derivatives thereof, their synthesis, and their use as αv integrin receptor antagonists. More particularly, the compounds of the present invention are antagonists of the integrin receptors αvβ3 and/or αvβ5 and are useful for inhibiting bone resorption, treating and preventing osteoporosis, and inhibiting vascular restenosis, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, angiogenesis, atherosclerosis, inflammation, inflammatory arthritis, viral disease, cancer, and metastatic tumor growth.
