Popis: | Using the example of cathepsin K, we demonstrate the design of highly potent and selective azadipeptide nitrile inhibitors. A systematic scan with respect to P2 and P3 substituents was carried out. Structural modifications strongly affected the enzyme-inhibitor association (but not dissociation) rate. A combination of optimized P2 and P3 substituents with a methylation of the P3-P2 amide linker resulted in the picomolar cathepsin K inhibitor 19 with remarkable selectivity over cathepsins L, B, and S. |
