Abstract

The structure-based design, chemical synthesis and in vitro activity evaluation of various falcipain inhibitors derived from 2-pyridone are reported. These compounds contain a peptidomimetic binding determinant and a Michael acceptor terminal moiety capable of deactivating the cysteine protease active site.
