Abstract: The present invention provides an aspartic proteinase-inhibiting compound of the formula: wherein a, b, c, d, and e, can be the same or different and each are R7, OR7, SR7, NR7R8, NHCOR7, CO2R7, CN, NO2, NH2, N3, or a halogen, wherein R7 and R8 are independently H or an alkyl. Substituents R1 or R2 are each H or an alkyl. Substituent R3 is a straight chain or branched alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl substituent, or is a cycloalkyl. Substituent A is OH, NH2, or SH. Further provided are pharmaceutical compositions, which include a therapeutically effective amount of at least one of the foregoing compounds, and therapeutic methods of using the foregoing compounds.

Abstract: The present invention provides a compound of formula (I) wherein a, b, c, d, and e, are R7, OR7, SR7, NR7R8, NHCOR7, CO2R7, CN, NO2, NH2, N3, or a halogen. R7 and R8 are H or alkyl, R1 and R2 are H or alkyl, and R3 is a non-aromatic substituent. Substituent A is OH, NH2, or SH. Substituents B and B1 include amide and sulfonamide groups, which can be cyclic, acyclic, or amino acid derivatives. Alternatively, B and R′ together with the nitrogen to which they are bonded, and/or B′ and R2 together with the nitrogen to which they are bonded, define a heterocycle. The present invention further provides a pharmaceutical composition that includes a carrier and a therapeutically effective amount of at least one compound of the present invention.
