Abstract

A 6-oxa-1-aza-bicyclo[3.2.1]octan-7-one system inhibits the proteolytic activity of several cysteine proteases belonging to the papain family. In vitro mechanistic studies and in silico calculations suggest that the minimal pi-overlap between the bridgehead nitrogen and the carbonyl leads to a considerable weakening of the urethane system, making it susceptible to nucleophilic attack from the active site thiol group. The resulting covalent adduct is slowly hydrolyzed, releasing the hydroxypiperidine product of the inhibitor. Synthesis and testing of a set of analogs led to variable protease subtype selectivities ranging from micromolar to nanomolar potencies.
