Abstract

Small molecule FKBP inhibitors were prepared with inhibitory activity ranging from micromolar to nanomolar. The design of these inhibitors derives from a structural analysis of the substrates for FKBP and cyclophilin. As a consequence of this analysis two key observations were made, namely:(1) amino ketone moieties are suitable as FKBP recognition elements at the P1-P1'site and (2) the P3/-P4/site will accept a trans-olefin as ...
