摘要
We describe here orally active and brain-penetrant cathepsin S selective inhibitors, which are virtually devoid of hERG K(+) channel affinity, yet exhibit nanomolar potency against cathepsin S and over 100-fold selectivity to cathepsin L. The new non-peptidic inhibitors are based on a 2-cyanopyrimidine scaffold bearing a spiro[3.5] non-6-yl-methyl amine at the 4-position. The brain-penetrating cathepsin S inhibitors demonstrate potential clinical utility for the treatment of multiple sclerosis and neuropathic pain. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
