Novel fluorinated pseudopeptides as proteasome inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2009 Jan 1;19(1):83-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2008.11.012. Epub 2008 Nov 7.

Abstract

We have designed novel small inhibitors of rabbit 20S proteasome using a trifluoromethyl-beta-hydrazino acid scaffold. Structural variations influenced their inhibition of the three types of active sites. Proteasome inhibition at the micromolar level was selective, calpain I and cathepsin B were not inhibited.
