Emerging infectious diseases like those caused by arboviruses such as Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) pose a serious threat to public health systems. Development of medical countermeasures against emerging infectious diseases are of utmost importance. In this work, an acrylate and vinyl sulfone-based chemical series was investigated as promising starting scaffolds against VEEV and as inhibitors of the cysteine protease domain of VEEV's nonstructural protein 2 (nsP2). Primary screen and dose response studies were performed to evaluate the potency and cytotoxicity of the compounds. The results provide structural insights into a new class of potent nonpeptidic covalent inhibitors of nsP2 cysteine protease represented by compound 11 (VEEV TrD, EC50= 2.4 μM (HeLa), 1.6 μM (Vero E6)). These results may facilitate the evolution of the compounds into selective and broad-spectrum anti-alphaviral drug leads.
Enantiodivergent, catalytic asymmetric synthesis of γ-amino vinyl sulfones

A set of diversely substituted N-Boc-γ-amino vinyl sulfones has been prepared by a four-step procedure from readily available, highly enantiopure anti-N-Boc-3-amino-1,2-alkanediols. This new route, which does not depend on the accessibility of α-amino acids as starting materials, is noteworthy for its efficiency, for its generality, and for the fact that both enantiomers of a given γ-amino vinyl sulfone can be obtained with equal ease.
Carboxyl-Modified Amino Acids and Peptides as Protease Inhibitors

Several types of carbonyl-modified amino acids and peptides were prepared in forms having N-terminal modifications (carrier fragments) suitable for one of several representative protease enzymes, and their inhibitory action toward those enzymes were evalu
