A series of Nα-2-benzoxazolyl-α-amino acid-(arylaminoethyl)amides were identified as potent, selective, and noncovalent inhibitors of cathepsin S. Structure-activity relationships including strategies for modulating the selectivities among cathepsins S, K, and L, and in vivo pharmacokinetics are discussed. A X-ray structure of compound 3 bound to the active site of cathepsin S is also reported.

A series of benzoxazolamine and benzothiazolamine analogs that inhibit leukotriene (LT) biosynthesis are described.The initial lead, (S)-N-(benzothiazol-2-yl)phenylalanine ethyl ester (5a), was discovered in a screening program for inhibition of Ca-ionophore-A23187-induced LTB4 release in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (IC50 0.23 μM).Through structural modification, it was determined that hydrophobic substituents in the 5-position and replacement of the phenyl ring of phenylalanine with a cyclohexyl group greatly enhance potency.Several ester bioisosteres that retain potency and enantiomeric selectivity are described.Lead optimization culminated in (S)-N--5-methyl-2-benzoxazolamine (43b), IC50 0.001 μM.The compounds described are not inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase but, rather, act at the level of arachidonic acid release.
