摘要
Herein we report the synthesis of a series of novel constrained peptidomimetics 2-10 endowed with a dipeptide backbone (D-Ser-Gly) and a vinyl ester warhead, structurally related to a previously identified lead compound 1, an irreversible inhibitor of falcipain-2, the main haemoglobinase of lethal malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. The new compounds were evaluated for their inhibition against falcipain-2, as well as against cultured P. falciparum. The inhibitory activity of the synthesized compounds was also evaluated against another protozoal cysteine protease, namely rhodesain of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
