摘要

Novel rhodesain inhibitors were obtained by combining an enantiomerically pure 3-bromoisoxazoline warhead with a specific peptidomimetic recognition moiety. All derivatives behaved as inhibitors of rhodesain, with low micromolar K-i values. Their activity against the enzyme was found to be paralleled by an in vitro antitrypanosomal activity, with IC50 values in the mid-micromolar range. Notably, a preference for parasitic over human proteases, specifically cathepsinsB and L, was observed.
