established the requirement for the all-L stereochemistry of the active inhibitor. The early lead inhibitors were very hydrophobic and, therefore, poorly soluble in aqueous solutions. Using the stereospecific route, new compounds were prepared with polar groups at the C- and N-termini. These modifications resulted in more soluble inhibitors that were still potentinhibitors of calpain. Studies of the stability
