Design and synthesis of dipeptidyl nitriles as potent, selective, and reversible inhibitors of cathepsin C

A series of dipeptide nitriles with a thienyl alanine in P2 were identified as potent and selective cathepsin C inhibitors. Incorporation of a substituted cyclopropyl moiety in P1 effectively protects these derivatives against hydrolase activity in whole blood.
