Nonpeptidic, selective, and potent cathepsin S inhibitors were derived from an in-house pyrrolopyrimidine cathepsin K inhibitor by modification of the P2 and P3 moieties. The pyrrolopyrimidine-based inhibitors show nanomolar inhibition of cathepsin S with over 100-fold selectivity against other cysteine proteases, including cathepsin K and L. Some of the inhibitors showed cellular activities in mouse splenocytes as well as oral bioavailabilities in rats.
非肽类、选择性且强效的组织蛋白酶S抑制剂是通过对内部吡咯并嘧啶类组织蛋白酶K抑制剂的P2和P3部分进行修饰而得到的。基于吡咯并嘧啶的抑制剂对组织蛋白酶S具有纳摩尔级别的抑制作用,对包括组织蛋白酶K和L在内的其他半胱氨酸蛋白酶具有超过100倍的选择性。其中一些抑制剂在小鼠脾细胞中表现出细胞活性,在大鼠中也具有口服生物利用度。
