Calpain inhibitors have been proposed as drug candidates for neurodegenerative disorders, with ABT-957 entering clinical trials for Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment. The structure of ABT-957 was very recently disclosed and trials were terminated owing to inadequate CNS concentrations to obtain a pharmacodynamic effect. The multistep synthesis of an α-ketoamide peptidomimetic inhibitor series potentially including ABT-957 was optimized to yield diastereomerically pure compounds that are potent and selective for calpain-1 over papain and cathepsins B and K. Since the final oxidation step, with its optimized synthesis protocol, does not alter the configuration of the substrate, the synthesis of the diastereomeric pair (R)-1-benzyl-N-((S)-4-((4-fluorobenzyl)amino)-3,4-dioxo-1-phenylbutan-2-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxamide (1c) and (R)-1-benzyl-N-((R)-4-((4-fluorobenzyl)amino)-3,4-dioxo-1-phenylbutan-2-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxamide (1g) was feasible. This allowed for the exploration of stereoselective inhibition of calpain-1, with 1c (IC50 = 78 nM) being significantly more potent than 1g. Moreover, inhibitor 1c restored cognitive function in amnestic mice. (R)-1-Benzyl-N-((S)-4-((4-fluorobenzyl)amino)-3,4-dioxo-1-phenylbutan-2-yl)-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxamide (1c) is a very potent and selective calpain-1 inhibitor that restored memory in response to the blockade of cholinergic signaling by the mAChR antagonist scopolamine, leading to amnesia.
