1SNK - PubMed Abstract: 
The synthesis and biological activity of a series of aldehyde inhibitors of cathepsin K are reported. Exploration of the properties of the S2 and S3 subsites with a series of carbamate derivatized norleucine aldehydes substituted at the P2 and P3 positions afforded analogs with cathepsin K IC50s between 600 nM and 130 pM.
