Abstract

Dipeptide-based sulfonium peptidylmethylketones derived from 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine (DON) have been investigated as potential water-soluble inhibitors of extracellular transglutaminase. The lead compounds were prepared in four steps and exhibited potent activity against tissue transglutaminase.
