Abstract

The serine Protease tryptase has been implicated in allergic and inflammatory diseases and associated with asthma. The synthesis and SAR of a series of N1-activated-4-carboxy azetidinones are described, resulting in identification of BMS-363131 (2) as a potent inhibitor of human tryptase (IC(50)<1.7 nM) with high selectivity (>3000-fold) for tryptase versus related serine proteases including trypsin.
