Isophthalic acid bis(L-prolyl-pyrrolidine) amide is a very potent prolyl oligopeptidase inhibitor, but it has a log P value of -0.2, which is very low for a compound targeted to the brain. Therefore, these types of compounds were further modified to improve the structure-activity relationships, with the focus on increasing the log P value. The inhibitory activity against prolyl oligopeptidase from pig brain was tested in vitro. The most promising compounds resulted from replacing the pyrrolidinyl group at the P5 site by cycloalkyl groups, such as cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl groups, and by a phenyl group. These compounds are slightly more potent, and they have a significantly higher log P value. The potency of these compounds was further increased by replacing the pyrrolidinyl group at the P1 site by 2(S)-cyanopyrrolidinyl and 2(S)-(hydroxyacetyl)pyrrolidinyl groups.

New dicarboxylic acid bis(L-prolyl-pyrrolidine) amides were synthesized, and their inhibitory activity against prolyl oligopeptidase from pig brain was tested in vitro. As compared with earlier described prolyl oligopeptidase inhibitors, these new compounds have in common an L-prolyl-pyrrolidine moiety, but the typical lipophilic acyl end group is replaced by another L-prolyl-pyrrolidine moiety connected symmetrically with a short dicarboxylic acid linker. These compounds are a new type of peptidomimetic prolyl oligopeptidase inhibitor.
