and inhibitory activities of thirty-seven novel C-terminal agmatine dipeptides used as screening compounds to study the structure–activity relationship between active-site peptidomimetics and the West Nile virus (WNV) NS2B/NS3 serine protease. Our efforts lead to the discovery of a novel agmatine dipeptide inhibitor (compound 33, IC50 2.6 ± 0.3 μM) with improved inhibitory activity in comparison to
