Résumé
Peptidomimetics of the class of dipeptidyl nitrile analog peptoids were synthesized as inhibitors of mammalian cysteine proteases of the papain superfamily. The dipeptidyl nitrile side chains were attached to the peptide backbone's nitrogen atom, not to the α-carbons. Synthesized nitrile-based peptoid analogs that lack the hydrogen amide at P2-P3 are responsible for many of the secondary structure elements in peptides and proteins, making them resistant to proteolysis. The designed peptoids would lose a hydrogen bond with cruzain Asp161 decreasing the affinity toward the enzyme. A structure-activity relationship and matched molecular pair-based analysis between the dipeptidyl nitrile Neq0409 and its peptoid 4a yielded the following cruzain affinities: pK
