This invention relates to the compounds or a pharmaceutical acceptable salts, hydrates or solvates thereof, which are inhibitors of cysteine proteases, in particular of cathepsin B. Compounds of the invention are useful in the treatment of diseases in which cathepsin B is implicated, such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, pancreatitis, immune and neurodegenerative diseases, e.g. Alzheimer's disease.

Evaluation of a series of MetAP inhibitors in an in vitro enzyme activity assay led to the first identification of potent molecules that show significant growth inhibition against Burkholderia pseudomallei. Nitroxoline analogues show excellent inhibition potency in the BpMetAP1 enzyme activity assay with the lowest IC50 of 30 nM and inhibit the growth of B. pseudomallei and B. thailandensis at concentrations >= 31 mu M.
