Novel scaffold for cathepsin K inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Nov 15;17(22):6096-100. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.09.047. Epub 2007 Sep 15.

Abstract

Pyrrolopyrimidine, a novel scaffold, allows to adjust interactions within the S3 subsite of cathepsin K. The core intermediate 10 facilitated the P3 optimization and identified highly potent and selective cathepsin K inhibitors 11-20.
