To explore cornea permeable calpain inhibitors, four compounds displaying different characteristics were designed and synthesized based on the known potent calpain inhibitor, peptidyl aldehyde SJA6017. Two approaches were adopted; an improvement in the physicochemical properties, and conversion of the active aldehyde. The water-soluble peptidyl aldehyde 1 containing a pyridine ring at the P3 site showed a modest inhibition against calpains and an improvement of corneal permeability in comparison with SJA6017. Replacement of the aldehyde of SJA6017 by an α-ketoamide provided compound 2 that was approximately equipotent with SJA6017, but it was extremely water-insoluble. However, compound 3, in which the aldehyde was converted into a cyclic hemiacetal, proved to be a less potent calpain inhibitor than SJA6017, but demonstrated excellent transcorneal permeability. Further modification generating the cyclic hemiacetal 4 containing a thiourea linker between the P3 and P2 sites exhibited potent inhibitory activities, high cornea permeability and excellent efficacy in the rat lens culture cataract model.

A pharmaceutical composition for the prophylaxis and therapy of a disease arising from ocular fundus tissue cytopathy such as retinochoroidal disease, glaucoma, and posterior complication arising form photocoagulation, which contains, as an active ingredient, a compound of formula (I) wherein R1represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or an aryl group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms which is optionally substituted; R2and R3may be the same or different and each represents hydrogen or an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or R2and R3may jointly form a ring having 3 to 7 carbon atoms; and R4represents a lower alkyl group which substituted by aryl, cycloalkyl, or aromatic heterocyclic residue, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
