In the search for potential new metal-based antitumor agents, two series of nonclassical palladium(II) pincer complexes based on functionalized amides with S-modified cysteine and homocysteine residues have been prepared and fully characterized by 1D and 2D NMR (1H, 13C, COSY, HMQC or HSQC, 1H-13C, and 1H-15N HMBC) and IR spectroscopy and, in some cases, X-ray diffraction. Most of the resulting complexes exhibit a high level of cytotoxic activity against several human cancer cell lines, including colon (HCT116), breast (MCF7), and prostate (PC3) cancers. Some of the compounds under consideration are also efficient in both native and doxorubicin-resistant transformed breast cells HBL100, suggesting the prospects for the creation of therapeutic agents based on the related compounds that would be able to overcome drug resistance. An analysis of different aspects of their biological effects on living cells has revealed a remarkable ability of the S-modified derivatives to induce cell apoptosis and efficient cellular uptake of their fluorescein-conjugated counterpart, confirming the high anticancer potential of Pd(II) pincer complexes derived from functionalized amides with S-donor amino acid pendant arms.

A series of novel amide and thioester conjugates between Danshensu and cysteine derivatives have been designed and synthesized based on the strategy of "medicinal chemical hybridization". Pharmacological evaluation indicated that the amide conjugates 3a/4a/17a and thioester conjugates 6a-d exhibited obvious protective effects on H2O2-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Pretreated with these conjugates could increase glutathione (GSH) activity and decrease malondialdehyde (MDA) level. Further study on mechanism of compound 4a revealed that it was related to its mitochondrial-protective effect and regulation of apoptosis-related proteins expression (Bax, p53, PARP, caspase-3, caspase-9 and Bcl-2). These results indicate that these Danshensu-cysteine analog conjugates possess significant cardiovascular-protective effects and merit further investigation.

The present invention is directed to compounds that are inhibitors of cysteine proteases, in particular, cathepsins B, K, L, F, and S and are therefore useful in treating diseases mediated by these proteases. The present invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and processes for preparing them.
