Epoxysuccinyl dipeptide analogs of E-64 (R-EpsLeuPro-R') (Figure 1) have been synthesized with the carboxylate group on the epoxide ring either free (R = OH) or converted to an ester or an amide (R = EtO or i-BuNH) and the C- terminal amino acid proline either blocked (R' = OBzl) or free (R' = OH). These compounds were used to investigate the recently reported selectivity of this type of inhibitor for the lysosomal cysteine protease cathepsin B. It was shown that derivatization of the carboxylate on the epoxide ring confers selectivity for cathepsin B over papain only when it is combined to a dipeptidyl moiety with a free negatively charged C-terminal residue. It is proposed that this selectivity reflects interactions with histidine residues on a loop located in the primed subsites of cathepsin B which provides a positively charged anchor for the C-terminal carboxylate group of the inhibitor. The primed subsite loop of cathepsin B is not found in other cysteine proteases of the papain family and offers a unique template for designing selectivity in cysteine protease inhibitors.
