propionic acidmoiety as an electrophile for covalent attack by the active‐site cysteine residue of caspase1. The syntheses of several cyanopropanate‐containing small molecules based on the optimized peptidic scaffold of prodrug VX‐765 were accomplished. These compounds were found to be potentinhibitors of caspase1 (IC50 values ≤1 nM). Examination of these novel small molecules against a caspase panel
