A novel class of reversible inhibitors of Interleukin-1β-converting enzyme (ICE, caspase-1) were discovered by iterative structure-based design. Guided by the X-ray crystal structure of analogues 1, 7 and 10 bound to ICE, we have designed a non-peptide series of small molecule inhibitors. These compounds incorporate an arylsulfonamide moiety which replaces Val-His unit (P3-P2 residues) amino acids of the native substrate. The synthesis of the core structure, structure-activity relationships (SARs), and proposed binding orientation based on molecular modeling studies for this serie of ICE inhibitors are described.
