A series of ketoamides were synthesized and evaluated for inhibitory activity against cathepsin K. Exploration of the interactions between achiral P(2) substituents and the cysteine protease based on molecular modelling suggestions resulted in potent cathepsin K inhibitors that demonstrated high selectivity versus cathepsins B, H, and L. Subsequent modifications of the P(3), P(1), and P(1') moieties afforded orally bioavailable inhibitors.
合成了一系列酮酰胺,并对其针对组织蛋白酶K的抑制活性进行了评估。基于分子模型建议,探索了非手性P(2)取代基与半胱氨酸蛋白酶之间的相互作用,得到了对组织蛋白酶K具有强效抑制活性的化合物,这些化合物对组织蛋白酶B、H和L表现出高选择性。随后对P(3)、P(1)和P(1')部分进行修饰,得到了口服生物可利用的抑制剂。
