Abstract
We have synthesized and assessed the ability of symmetrical fluorobenzoins and fluorobenzils to inhibit mammalian carboxylesterases (CE). The majority of the latter were excellent inhibitors of CEs however unexpectedly, the fluorobenzoins were very good enzyme inhibitors. Positive correlations were seen with the charge on the hydroxyl carbon atom, the carbonyl oxygen, and the Hammett constants for the derived K(i) values with the fluorobenzoins.Entities:
