Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2002 Dec 2;12(23):3413-5. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(02)00765-5.

Abstract

A series of 6-substituted amino-4-oxa-1-azabicyclo[3,2,0]heptan-7-one compounds was designed and synthesized as a new class of inhibitors for cysteine proteases cathepsins B, L, K, and S. One compound (5S,6S)-6-(N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-phenylalanyl) amino-4-oxa-1-azabicyclo[3,2,0]heptan-7-one showed excellent cathepsin L and K inhibition activity with IC(50) at a low nanomolar range.
