This invention relates to a novel class of compounds which are cysteine protease inhibitors, including but not limited to, inhibitors of cathepsins K, L, S and B. These compounds are useful for treating diseases in which inhibition of bone resorption is indicated, such as osteoporosis.
Compounds having the following formula I:
or a stereoisomer or pharmaceutically-acceptable salt thereof, where R
