The invention provides aminoacid-arylaminoalkylamides in which the C-terminal carboxy group of the amino acid is substituted by an arylaminoalkylamino substituent and in which the amino nitrogen atom of the amino acid forms a peptide or pseudopeptide linkage which optionally additionally comprises a -methylene-hetero atom- linker or an additional hetero atom, through which it is directly substituted by aryl, lower alkyl, lower alkenyl, lower alkynyl or heterocyclyl, or a physiologically-acceptable and -cleavable ester of a salt thereof; in particular compounds of formula (I), or a physiologically-acceptable and -cleavable ester or a salt thereof, wherein the symbols are as defined, as cathepsin K inhibitors for use pharmaceutically for therapeutic or prophylactic treatment of diseases or medical conditions in which cathepsin K is implicated.
