Abstract

Proline-based trypsin inhibitors occupying the S1-S2-S1' region were identified by an HTS screening campaign. It was discovered that truncation of the P1' moiety and appropriate extension into the S4 region led to highly potent trypsin inhibitors with excellent selectivity against related serine proteases and a favorable hERG profile.

Keywords

Pancreatitis; Trypsin inhibitor; X-ray crystal structure; hERG inhibition.
