摘要
A comprehensive screening of N-acylated aziridine (aziridide) based cysteine protease inhibitors containing either Boc-Leu-Caa (Caa=cyclic amino acid), Boc-Gly-Caa, or Boc-Phe-Ala attached to the aziridine nitrogen atom revealed Boc-(S)-Leu-(S)-Azy-(S,S)-Azi(OBn)(2) (18a) as a highly potent cathepsin L (CL) inhibitor (K(i) = 13 nm) (Azy = aziridine-2-carboxylate, Azi = aziridine-2,3-dicarboxylate). Docking studies, which also accounted for the unusual bonding situations (the flexibility and hybridization of the aziridides) predict that the inhibitor adopts a Y shape and spans across the entire active site cleft, binding into both the non-primed and primed sites of CL.
