From natural products to achiral drug prototypes: Potent thrombin inhibitors based on P2/P3 dihydropyrid-2-one core motifs

A series of dihydropyrid-2-ones was synthesized and tested for inhibitory activity against serine protease enzymes. Moderate to low nanomolar inhibitory activities were obtained against thrombin and excellent selectivity against trypsin was observed.
