Abstract
With the aim of discovering potent and selective dengue NS3 protease inhibitors, we systematically synthesized and evaluated a series of tetrapeptide aldehydes based on lead aldehyde 1 (Bz-Nle-Lys-Arg-Arg-H, K(i)=5.8 microM). In general, we observe that interactions of P(2) side chain are more important than P(1) followed by P(3) and P(4). Tripeptide and dipeptide aldehyde inhibitors also show low micromolar activity. Additionally, an effective non-basic, uncharged replacement of P(1) Arg is identified.
