Abstact

Using computer aided modelling studies, a new extended P2/S2 interaction was identified. This extended region can accommodate a variety of functional groups, such as aryls and basic amines. It was discovered that the N3 nitrogen of the pyrimidine-2-carbonitrile is critical for its cathepsin cysteine protease inhibition. N1 nitrogen also contributes to the inhibitory activity, but to a very limited degree. An 'in situ double activation' mechanism was proposed to explain these results.
