The structure-based design and subsequent chemical synthesis of novel, urea-containing FKBP12 inhibitors are described. These compounds are shown to disrupt the cis-trans peptidylprolyl isomerase activity of FKBP12 with inhibition constants (K(i,app)) approaching 0.10 μM. Analyses of several X- ray crystal structures of FKBP12-urea complexes demonstrate that the urea- containing inhibitors associate with FKBP12 in a manner that is similar to, but significantly different from, that observed for the natural product FK506.
