Abstract

Novel classes of tetrahydropyrido-pyrazole thioether amines and arylalkynes that display potency against human Cathepsin S have been previously reported. Here, key pharmacophoric elements of these two classes are merged, and SAR investigations of the P4 region are described, in conjunction with re-optimization of the P5 and P1/P1′/P3 regions. Identification of meta-substituted arylalkynes with good potency and improved solubility is described.
