The present invention relates to the design, synthesis, and the peptidylprolyl isomerase (PPIase or rotamase) inhibitory activity of novel bicyclic diamide compounds that are neuroprotective and/or neurotrophic agents (i.e. compounds capable of stimulating growth or proliferation of nervous tissue) and that bind to immunophilins such as FKBP12 and inhibit their rotamase activity. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds.

Several fluoresceinated FKBP12 ligands have been prepared for a high-throughput fluorescencepolarization assay. K(i)s for FKBP12 rotamase inhibition by these ligands range from 1.3 microM to 32 nM, and their design is based on X-ray crystal structures of FKBP12 complexed with known immunophilin ligands.
