Introduction of various modified prolines at P2 and optimization of the P1 side chain led to the discovery of SCH6 (24, Table 2), a potent ketoamide inhibitor of the HCV NS3 serine protease. In addition to excellent enzyme potency (Ki* = 3.8 nM), 24 was also found to be a potent inhibitor of HCV subgenomic RNA replication with IC50 and IC90 of 40 and 100 nM, respectively. Recently, antiviral activity of 24 was demonstrated with inhibition of the full-length genotype 2a HCV genome. In addition, 24 was found to restore the responsiveness of the interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF-3) in cells containing HCV RNA replicons.

Novel benzoylalanine-derived ketoamides were prepared and evaluated for calpain I inhibition. Derivatives carrying vinylbenzyl amino residues in the P2 - P3 region inhibited calpain in nanomolar concentrations and thus represent a novel class of nonpeptidic calpain inhibitors. Selected examples exhibited an improved pharmacokinetic profile including improved watersolubility and metabolic stability. In particular, these calpain inhibitors showed oral bioavailability in rats as demonstrated by N-(1-benzyl-2-carbamoyl-2-oxoethyl)-2- [E-2-(4-diethylaminomethylphenyl)ethen-1-yl]benzamide (5d). The closely related derivative N-(1-carbamoyl-1-oxohex-1-yl)-2-[E-2- (4-dimethylaminomethylphenyl)-ethen-1-yl]benzamide (5b) was evaluated for neuroprotective efficacy after experimental traumatic brain injury in a fluid percussion model in rats. When administered after injury, 5b reduced the number of damaged neurons by 41%, and this result would be in line with the suggested neuroprotective efficacy of calpain inhibition.

A versatile route for the synthesis of homochiral alpha-ketoamide analogues of amino acids is described. Incorporation of this functionality into peptide sequences using either solution or solid-phase chemistry resulted in potent inhibitors of the Hepatitis C Virus NS3 proteinase.
