This paper describes the synthesis and biological evaluation of a new class of peptidomimetic falcipain-2 inhibitors based on a 1,4-benzodiazepine scaffold combined with various alpha,beta-unsaturated electrophilic functions such as vinyl-ketone, -amide, -ester, and -nitrile. The profile of reactivity of this class of derivatives has been evaluated and 4c, containing a vinyl ester warhead, proved to be a highly potent and selective falcipain-2 inhibitor.

Abstract
This paper describes the synthesis and biological evaluation of a new class of peptidomimetic falcipain-2 inhibitors based on a 1,4-benzodiazepine scaffold combined with various alpha,beta-unsaturated electrophilic functions such as vinyl-ketone, -amide, -ester, and -nitrile. The profile of reactivity of this class of derivatives has been evaluated and 4c, containing a vinyl ester warhead, proved to be a highly potent and selective falcipain-2 inhibitor.File in questo prodotto:
