Novel, potent inhibitors of aminopeptidase P, containing a 3-amino-2-hydroxy acid and a proline or a proline analogues, have been prepared. One part of the bestatin-derived inhibitors was found to inhibit APP from Escherichia coli and from rat intestine a

This paper describes the development of new pyrrolidine-containing α-keto amide and hydroxyethylamine core structures as mechanism based inhibitors of the HIV and FIV proteases. It was found that the α-keto amide core structure 2 is approximately 300-fold better than the corresponding hydroxyethylamine isosteric structure and 1300-fold better than the corresponding phosphinic acid derivative as an inhibitor of the HIV protease. The α-keto amide is however not hydrated until it is bound to the HIV protease as indicated by the NMR study and the X-ray structural analysis. Further analysis of the inhibition activities of hydroxyethylamine isosteres containing modified pyrrolidine derivatives revealed that a cis-methoxy group at C-4 of the pyrrolidine would improve the binding 5- and 25-fold for the trans-isomer. When this strategy was applied to the α-keto amide isostere, a cis-benzyl ether at C-4 was found to enhance binding 3-fold. Of the core structures prepared as inhibitors of the HIV protease, none show significant inhibitory activity against the mechanistically identical FIV protease, and additional complementary groups are needed to improve inhibition.
