Abstract: A series of ionizable prolyl oligopeptidase inhibitors were developed through the introduction of a pyridyl group to the P3 position of the prolyl oligopeptidase inhibitor structure. The study was performed on previously developed prolyl oligopeptidase inhibitors with proline mimetics at the P2 position. The 3-pyridyl group resulted in equipotent compounds as compared to the parent compounds. It was shown that the pyridyl group improves water solubility and, in combination with a 5(R)-tert-butyl-l-prolyl group at the P2 position, good lipophilicity can be achieved.
