Matriptase belongs to trypsin-like serine proteases involved in matrix remodeling/degradation, growth regulation, survival, motility, and cell morphogenesis. Herein, we report a structure-based approach, which led to the discovery of sulfonamide and amide derivatives of pyridyl bis(oxy)benzamidine as potent and selective matriptase inhibitors. Co-crystal structures of selected compounds in complex with matriptase supported compound designing. Additionally, WaterMap analyses indicated the possibi ...[more]
