The present disclosure provides compositions for inhibiting proteases, methods for synthesizing the compositions, and methods of using the disclosed protease inhibitors. Aspects of the disclosure include a peptidyl propenoyl hydrazide compositions that inhibit proteases, for example cysteine proteases, either in vivo or in vitro.

results suggest an evolutionary constraint on the topography of the prime side of the activesite. SAR also revealed that esters in the P1' position are more potent than disubstituted amides and that monosubstituted amides and alkyl derivatives show little or no inhibition. The preferred P1' residues have aromatic substituents. Aza-asparaginyl Michael acceptors react with thiols, which provides insight
