Popis: Structure-based design of a combinatorial array was carried out in order to identify non-peptidic thiomethylketone inhibitors of caspases 3 and 8. Five compounds from the designed array were active against caspase 3, and two were active against caspase 8. A 2.5-A resolution co-crystal structure of caspase 3 and a thiomethylketone array member is reported. The structure-based design strategy has proved useful for identifying caspase inhibitors.
