Carboxyalkyl

A number of different zinc binding groups have been investigated: carboxyalkyls, thiols, hydroxamic acids, phosphonic acids and phosphonamides (23).

Patchett and collaborators developed a new class of potent ACE inhibitors, the carboxyalkyl dipeptides, which includes enalapril (MK 421).

It is understood that such substituents, while they may not strictly be termed hydroxyalkyl groups, can be present in hydroxyalkyl carboxyalkyl cellulose and, as used herein, the term hydroxyalkyl includes substituents having the above formula.
