We report alphabeta,alpha'beta'-diepoxyketones (DEKs) as a new type of mechanism-based inhibitors of nucleophilic cysteine enzymes. Studies with the L,D-transpeptidase Ldt(Mt2) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the main protease from SARS-CoV-2 (M(pro)) reveal that following epoxide ring opening by a nucleophilic cysteine, further reactions can occur, leading to irreversible alkylation. alphabeta,alpha'beta'-Diepoxyketones are mechanism-based inhibitors of nucleophilic cysteine enzymes.,de Munnik M, Lithgow J, Brewitz L, Christensen KE, Bates RH, Rodriguez-Miquel B, Schofield CJ Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Oct 26;59(86):12859-12862. doi: 10.1039/d3cc02932h.
