Abstract
This study aimed to elucidate the structural congeners of natural izenamides A, B, and C (1–3) responsible for cathepsin D (CTSD) inhibition. Structurally modified izenamides were synthesized and biologically evaluated, and their biologically important core structures were identified. We confirmed that the natural statine (Sta) unit (3S,4S)-γ-amino-β-hydroxy acid is a requisite core structure of izenamides for inhibition of CTSD, which is closely related to the pathophysiological roles in numerous human diseases. Interestingly, the statine-incorporated izenamide C variant (7) and 18-epi-izenamide B variant (8) exhibited more potent CTSD-inhibitory activities than natural izenamides.
