of 4 into the S3 pocket of Cat K. The synthesis of the 2-substituted thiophene 5 confirmed this hypothesis by displaying a slight increase in potency against Cat K (>10-fold increase in potency vs 2) and a good selectivity profile against CathepsinsB, L, and S. This rationally designedinhibitor 5 also displayed increased potency in a functional bone resorption assay (10nM) versus 2 (95 nM).
