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.

Novel N-arylsulfonyldipeptidyl aldehyde derivatives were prepared by DMSO oxidation from the corresponding dipeptide alcohol, and their potencies as calpain inhibitors were evaluated in vitro. Among them, N-(4-fluorophenylsulfonyl)-L-valyl-L-leucinal (8,
