Design, synthesis, and evaluation of inhibitors of Norwalk virus 3C protease.

ABSTRACT: The first series of peptidyl aldehyde inhibitors that incorporate in their structure a glutamine surrogate has been designed and synthesized based on the known substrate specificity of Norwalk virus 3C protease. The inhibitory activity of the compounds with the protease and with a norovirus cell-based replicon system was investigated. Members of this class of compounds exhibited noteworthy activity both in vitro and in a cell-based replicon system.
