A series of 5-amino-1H-pyrazoles was synthesized and studied as inhibitors of furin. The most potent compound, 5-amino-4-acetylamino-3-(4-methylphenylamino)-1H-pyrazole, was found to retard the activity of furin by mixed-type inhibition with Ki = 288 µМ. These findings permit to plan new ways for chemical modifications of the 5-amino-1H-pyrazole structure and design more potent furin inhibitors of non-peptide nature.
Keywords: derivatives of 5-amino-1H-pyrazole, furin, inhibitors of furin
