Thirty Years in the Design and Development of Cruzain Inhibitors
Cruzipain is the principal protease of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease. Since its discovery in the 1980s and the resolution of the crystal structure of cruzain (a truncated recombinant form of the enzyme) in 1995, this target has attracted the interest of many research groups for screening studies, structure-based and ligand ...

Thermodynamic Drivers of Covalent Cruzain Inhibition Beyond Enthalpy-Entropy Compensation
Cysteine proteases are pivotal enzymes involved in diverse physiological and pathological processes, with cruzain and human cathepsin L emerging as key therapeutic targets. We report the design, synthesis, and characterization of a series of dipeptidyl inhibitors incorporating engineered modifications at the P1, P2, and P3 positions.
