Abstract:
Cysteine Proteases have been implicated in a broad spectrum of disease processes including cancer, arthritis, and viral and parasitie diseases[1]. Cathepsin K, a cysteine protease of the papain superfamily, is selectively expressed in osteoclasts and has been implicated in the process of bone resouption[2]. It is therefore considered a promising therapeutic target for treating diseases charccterized by excessive bone loss, such as osteoporosis[3]. Several chemotypes of cathepsin K inhibitors will be reviewed. The design and synthesis of potent inhibitors will also be discussed.
