Discovery and parallel synthesis of a new class of cathepsin K inhibitors.

Peptidomimetic aminomethyl ketones have been identified as a new class of cathepsin K inhibitors. Traditional and high-speed parallel synthesis techniques were applied to investigate this series. Structure-activity relationships were established, and certain analogues were characterized with IC(50) values in the range 200-500 nM.
