9VVO - PubMed Abstract: 
The development of potent K + -competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) as inhibitors of acid gastric secretion attracts much research attention. In this study, the structure-guided design and enantioselective synthesis of P-CABs yielded a diaza-tricyclic compound with moderate inhibitory activity against the gastric proton pump. The eutomer was experimentally confirmed, consistent with pharmacophore predictions, and its binding mode to the gastric proton pump was elucidated via cryo-electron microscopy.
