Abstract

The synthesis of a new class of peptidomimetics 1a-j, based on a 1,4-benzodiazepine scaffold and on a C-terminal aspartyl aldehyde building block, is described. Compounds 1a-j provided significant inhibitory activity against falcipains 2A and 2B (FP-2A and FP-2B), two cysteine proteases from Plasmodium falciparum.
