A new series of 1,2,4-oxadizoles 6a-g have been synthesised in good yields using the peptide synthesis strategy. The prepared compounds were tested for anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities. The anti-inflammatory activities were determined in the

The cysteine protease cruzipain is considered to be a validated target for therapeutic intervention in the treatment of Chagas disease. A series of 26 new compounds were designed, synthesized, and tested against the recombinant cruzain (Cz) to map its S1/S1′ subsites. The same series was evaluated on a panel of four human cysteine proteases (CatB, CatK, CatL, CatS) and Leishmania mexicana CPB, which is a potential target for the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis. The synthesized compounds are dipeptidyl nitriles designed based on the most promising combinations of different moieties in P1 (ten), P2 (six), and P3 (four different building blocks). Eight compounds exhibited a Ki smaller than 20.0 nM for Cz, whereas three compounds met these criteria for LmCPB. Three inhibitors had an EC50 value of ca. 4.0 μM, thus being equipotent to benznidazole according to the antitrypanosomal effects. Our mapping approach and the respective structure-activity relationships provide insights into the specific ligand-target interactions for therapeutically relevant cysteine proteases.
Synthesis and structure-activity relationship of nitrile-based cruzain inhibitors incorporating a trifluoroethylamine-based P2 amide replacement

The structure-activity relationship for nitrile-based cruzain inhibitors incorporating a P2 amide replacement based on trifluoroethylamine was explored by deconstruction of a published series of inhibitors. It was demonstrated that the P3 biphenyl substituent present in the published inhibitor structures could be truncated to phenyl with only a small loss of affinity. The effects of inverting the configuration of the P2 amide replacement and linking a benzyl substituent at P1 were observed to be strongly nonadditive. We show that plotting affinity against molecular size provides a means to visualize both the molecular size efficiency of structural transformations and the nonadditivity in the structure-activity relationship. We also show how the relationship between affinity and lipophilicity, measured by high-performance liquid chromatography with an immobilized artificial membrane stationary phase, may be used to normalize affinity with respect to lipophilicity.
