Abstract
Phosphino dipeptide (PDP) isosteres are known to be useful analogues of the transition state of metalloprotease substrates. Here we describe the use of this unit for the design of aspartic protease inhibitors. A PDP analogue of OM00-3, a potent BACE1 inhibitor, was synthesized and exhibited high biological activity (IC50 approximately 12 nM).
