In this letter, we report a series of five new RGD-containing cyclic peptides as potent inhibitors to αvβ3 integrin protein. We have incorporated various unnatural lipophilic amino acids into the cyclic RGD framework of cilengitide, which is selective for αvβ3 integrin. All the newly synthesized cyclic peptides were evaluated in vitro solid phase binding assay and investigated for their binding behaviour towards integrin subtypes. All the cyclic peptides were synthesized in excellent yield following solution-phase coupling strategy. The cyclic RGD peptides 1a-e exhibited IC50 of 9.9, 5.5, 72, 11 and 3.3 nM, respectively, towards αvβ3 integrin protein. This finding offers further opportunities for the introduction unusual amino acids into the cyclic peptide framework of cilengitide.

Hepatitis C is the most prevalent liver disease. Viral hepatitis C (HCV), a small (+)-RNA virus, infects chronically an estimated 300 million people worldwide. Results of Phase I clinical studies with our first generation HCV inhibitor Boceprevir, SCH 503034 (1), presented at the 56th Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) were encouraging, and thus, additional human clinical studies are underway. In view of the positive data from our first generation compound, further work aimed at optimizing its overall profile was undertaken. Herein, we report that extension of our earlier inhibitor to the P4 pocket and optimization of the P1′ capping led to the discovery of new ketoamide inhibitors of the HCV NS3 serine protease with improved in vitro potency. In addition to being potent inhibitors of HCV subgenomic RNA replication, some of the new P4-capped inhibitors were also found to have improved PK profile.

We have prepared a series of cathepsin K inhibitors bearing the keto-1,3,4-oxadiazole warhead capable of forming a hemithioketal complex with the target enzyme. By modifying binding moieties at the P1, P2, and prime side positions of the inhibitors, we have achieved selectivity over cathepsins B, L, and S, and have achieved sub-nanomolar potency against cathepsin K. This series thus represents a promising chemotype that could be used in diseases implicated by imbalances in cathepsin K activity such as osteoporosis.
