The SUB1 protease, which is essential for parasite egress in both hepatic and blood stages, would meet these criteria. We previously reported the structure-activity relationship analysis of alpha-ketoamide-containing inhibitors encompassing positions P4-P2'. Despite compounds with high inhibitory potencies were identified, their antiparasitic activity remained limited, probably due to insufficient cell permeability. Here, we present our efforts to improve it through the N-terminal introduction of basic or hydrophobic moieties and/or cyclization. Compared to our previous reference compounds 1/2 (Ac-Ile/Cpg-Thr-Ala-AlaCO-Asp-Glu(Oall)-NH2), we identified analogues with improved Pf-/PvSUB1 inhibition (IC50 values in the 10-20 nM range) and parasite growth inhibition (up to 98% at 100 muM). The increase in potency was mainly observed when increasing the overall hydrophobicity of the compounds. Conjugation to the cell penetrating peptide octa-arginine was also favorable. Finally, the crystal structure of PvSUB1 in complex with compound 15 has been determined at 1.6 A resolution. Compared to compound 1, this structure extended to the P5 residue and revealed two additional hydrogen bonds.
