Abstract :
Detailed structure–activity relationships (SARs) for a series of dibasic human tryptase inhibitors are presented. The structural requirements for potent inhibitory activity are remarkably broad with a range of core template modifications being well tolerated. Optimized inhibitors demonstrate potent anti-asthmatic activity in a sheep model of allergic asthma. APC-2059, a dibasic tryptase inhibitor with subnanomolar activity, has been advanced to phase II clinical trials for the treatment of both psoriasis and ulcerative colitis.
