Title: Design of small molecule ketoamide-based inhibitors of cathepsin K.

Abstract: A novel series of ketoamide-based inhibitors of cathepsin K has been identified. Modifications to P(2) and P(3) elements were crucial to enhancing inhibitory activity. Although not optimized, a selected inhibitor was effective in attenuating type I collagen hydrolysis in a surrogate assay of bone resorption.
