The present invention provides compounds, compositions and methods for the selective inhibition of cathepsin S. In a preferred aspect, cathepsin S is selectively inhibited in the presence of at least one other cathepsin isozyme (e.g., cathespin K). The present invention also provides methods for treating a disease state in a subject by selectively inhibiting cathepsin S.

A new class of quinoline derivatives, bearing amino chains at C-4 and a styryl group at C-2, were tested on Leishmania donovani promastigotes and axenic and intracellular Leishmania pifanoi amastigotes. The introduction of the C-4 substituent improves the activity, which is due to interference with the mitochondrial activity of the parasite and its concomitant bioenergetic collapse by ATP exhaustion

The present study describes the discovery and characterization of a series of N-(1-(1,1-dioxidotetrahydrothiophen-3-yl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)acetamide ethers as G protein-gated inwardly-rectifying potassium (GIRK) channel activators. From our previous lead optimization efforts, we have identified a new ether-based scaffold and paired this with a novel sulfone-based head group to identify a potent

The present invention provides a process for efficiently producing an optically active &agr;-amino acid and an optically active &agr;-amino acid amide. After contacting with cells or processed cells thereof having an ability to asymmetrically hydrolyse, a water solvent is substituted with at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of linear, branched, or cyclic alcohol having 3 or more carbon atoms and the optically active &agr;-amino acid is preferentially precipitated from the alcohol solution.
The addition of basic compounds, particularly potassium compounds to the alcohol solution containing the optically active &agr;-amino acid amide, which is obtained after the separation of the optically active &agr;-amino acid, enables the purification of the amide without the inclusion of amino acid into amino acid amide. Thus, the amide is subjected to the step of racemization and then recycled.

1,3-Dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DBH) has been found to efficiently catalyze the one-pot conversion of various N-arylglycines through N-nitrosation and cyclization to sydnones in combination with NaNO2 and Ac2O in high yields (80-94%) under mild and neutral conditions. Also, it was shown that DBH can conveniently promote the bromination of these sydnones to their 4-bromo substituted congeners in excellent yields in DMF at room temperature.
