protein processing. Thus, most efforts towards the development of proteasomeinhibitors have focused on the selective inhibition of the β5 subunit active site. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of a series of conformationally constrained tripeptidyl vinylsulfones were determined to be good inhibitors of the chymotrypsin‐like activity of proteasome, with KI values in the sub‐micromolar to micromolar

antitrypanosomal agents, we found that partially saturated quinoline-based vinyl sulfone compounds selectively inhibit the growth of T. brucei but displayed relatively weak inhibitory activity towards T. brucei’s cysteineprotease rhodesain. While two nitroaromatic analogues of the quinoline-based vinyl sulfone compounds displayed potent inhibition of T. brucei and rhodesain. The quinoline derivatives and
