Title:

Exploration of the P1 SAR of aldehyde cathepsin K inhibitors.

Journal:

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 Jan 5;14(1):275-8.

Abstract:

The synthesis and biological activity of a series of aldehyde inhibitors of cathepsin K are reported. Exploration of the properties of the S(1) subsite with a series of alpha-amino aldehyde derivatives substituted at the P(1) position afforded compounds with cathepsin K IC(50)s between 52 microM and 15 nM.
