摘要
A series of malaria plasmepsin (Pim) I and II inhibitors containing a C-2-symmetric core structure have been synthesised and tested for protease inhibition activity. These compounds can be prepared using a straightforward synthesis involving a phenol nucleophilic ring opening of a diepoxide. Exemplar compounds synthesised exhibited remarkable inhibitory activity against both Plm I and II, notably 15c with K-i values of 2.7 nM and 0.25 nM respectively, as well as showing > 100-fold selectivity against Cathepsin D.
