Abstract: A systematic study of interleukin-1 beta converting enzyme (ICE, caspase-1) and caspase-3 (CPP32, apopain) inhibitors incorporating a P2-P3 conformationally constrained dipeptide mimetic is reported. Depending on the nature of the P4 substituent, highly selective inhibitors of both Csp-1 or Csp-3 were obtained.
