Novel peptidyl derivatives of formula I are found to be potent inhibitors of interleukin-1β converting enzyme (ICE). Compounds of formula I may be useful in the treatment of inflammatory or immune-based diseases of the lung and airways ; central nervous system and surrounding membranes; the eyes and ears ; joints, bones, and connective tissues ; cardio-vascular system including the pericardium ; the gastrointestinal and urogenital systems ; the skin and mucosal membranes. Compounds of formula I are also useful in treating the complications of infection (e.g., gram negative shock) and tumors in which IL 1 functions as an autocrine growth factor or as a mediator of cachexia.
