Abstract: A series of ketoamides were synthesized and evaluated for inhibitory activity against cathepsin K. Exploration of the interactions between achiral P(2) substituents and the cysteine protease based on molecular modelling suggestions resulted in potent cathepsin K inhibitors that demonstrated high selectivity versus cathepsins B, H, and L. Subsequent modifications of the P(3), P(1), and P(1') moieties afforded orally bioavailable inhibitors.
