A series of dipeptidyl nitrites as inhibitors of cathepsin K have been explored starting from lead structure 1 (Cbz-Leu-NH-CH2-CN IC50 = 39 nM). Attachment of non-natural amino acid side chains in P1 and modification of the P3 subunit led to inhibitors with higher potency and improved pharmacokinetic properties. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
