The importance of cysteine proteases in parasites, compounded with the lack of redundancy compared to their mammalian hosts makes proteases attractive targets for the development of new therapeutic agents. The binding mode of K11002 to cruzain, the major cysteine protease of Trypanosoma cruzi was used in the design of conformationally constrained inhibitors. Vinyl sulfone-containing macrocycles were
The enantioselective addition of allylstannanes and allylsilanes to alkyl glyoxylates of type 1, catalyzed by chiral (salen)Cr(III) complexes 3, has been studied. We have found that the reaction proceeded smoothly for low loading (1–2 mol %) of (1R,2R)-(salen)Cr(III)BF43a or (1R,2R)-(salen)Cr(III)ClO43c, and allyltributyltin under simple, undemanding conditions, affording (R)-2-hydroxypent-4-enoic
