The trans-epoxysuccinyl amide group as a biologically active moiety in cysteine protease inhibitors such as loxistatin acid E64c has been used as a benchmark system for theoretical studies of environmental effects on the electron density of small active i

A novel class of potent FXIII-A inhibitors containing a (±) cis-bisamido epoxide pharmacophore is described. The compounds display highly potent inhibition of FXIII-A (IC50 Combining double low line 5-500 nM) in an in vitro assay. In contrast to other types of previously described covalent transglutaminase inhibitors, the bis-Amido epoxides exhibited no measurable reactivity with glutathione, therefore possibly rendering this class of compounds suitable for future in vivo investigations. Additionally, the compounds show selective inhibition for FXIII-A against the cysteine protease, cathepsin S although they proved to have similar potency with a closely related transglutaminase, TGII, to that observed for FXIII-A.

We have proposed and synthesized several new structural classes of Cerulenin analogues, which have potential as inhibitors of both fatty acid and polyketide synthase multi-enzyme complexes. These analogues contain cis epoxides bearing flanking carboxylate groups. Our syntheses have been designed to allow access to a wide range of fatty acid and polyketide-like side chains from readily available starting materials in convergent fashion in just four to five steps. In total, ～40 potential analogues have been prepared and characterized, covering all the structural sub-classes proposed, the majority of which constitute novel functional groupings.
