The virally encoded NS3 protease is essential to the life cycle of the hepatitis C virus (HCV), an important human pathogen causing chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The design and synthesis of 15-membered ring β-strand mimics which are capable of inhibiting the interactions between the HCV NS3 protease enzyme and its polyprotein substrate will be described. The binding interactions between a macrocyclic ligand and the enzyme were explored by NMR and molecular dynamics, and a model of the ligand/enzyme complex was developed.

A macrocyclic, peptidomimetic inhibitor of peptide deformylase was designed by covalently cross-linking the P1′ and P3′ side chains. The macrocycle, which contains an N-formylhydroxylamine side chain as the metal-chelating group, was synthesized from a diene precursor via olefin metathesis using Grubbs's catalyst. The cyclic inhibitor showed potent inhibitory activity toward Escherichia coli deformylase (Ki = 0.67 nM) and antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (MIC = 0.7-12 μg/mL).

The unusual amino acid bishomoallylglycine was synthesized and used to form cyclic P3-P1 tripeptide inhibitors via a Grubbs olefin metathesis method. These compounds show micro- to nanomolar inhibition of Rhizopus chinensis pepsin and represent a new class of simplified aspartic protease inhibitors lacking P' residues.
