A novel series of ketoamide-based inhibitors of cathepsin K has been identified. Modifications to P2 and P3 elements were crucial to enhancing inhibitory activity. Although not optimized, a selected inhibitor was effective in attenua

Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by skeletal fragility. Cathepsin K, a lysosomal cysteine protease, has been implicated in the osteoclast mediated bone resorption. Inhibitors of this protease could potentially treat this skeletal disease. The prese
