- This invention relates to inhibitors of cysteine proteases, in particular to dipeptide nitrile cathepsin K inhibitors and to their pharmaceutical use for the treatment or prophylaxis of diseases or medical conditions in which cathepsin K is implicated.
- Cathepsin K is a member of the family of lysosomal cysteine cathepsin enzymes, e.g. cathepsins B, K, L and S, which are implicated in various disorders including inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, tumors (especially tumor invasion and tumor metastasis), coronary disease, atherosclerosis (including atherosclerotic plaque rupture and destabilization), autoimmune diseases, respiratory diseases, infectious diseases and immunologically mediated diseases (including transplant rejection).
- Our copending International patent application WO 99/24460 describes dipeptide nitrites which are inhibitors of cysteine cathepsins and their use for treatment of cysteine cathepsin dependent diseases or medical conditions. New dipeptide nitrile compounds have now been made which are inhibitors of cathepsin K, and which have desirable properties for pharmaceutical applications.
