Substituted amino bicyclic-.beta.-lactam penam and cepham derivatives as cysteine protease inhibitors

Since sulfonamide derivatives of the present invention show strong inhibitory activity against cysteine protease such as calpain papain, cathepsin B, cathepsin H, cathepsin L, they can be used as remedies for muscular dystrophy, cataract, myocardial infarction, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophia, osteoporosis, hypercalcemia or the like.

Sulfonamide derivatives

Aminoketone derivatives according to the present invention strongly inhibit thiol protease such as calpain, papain, cathepsin B, cathepsin H, cathepsin L or the like and have excellent properties concerning absorbance on oral administration, tissue distribution and cell membrane permeability. The aminoketone derivatives cart thus be used as therapeutic agents for treating muscular dystrophy, cataract, cardiac infarction, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophy, osteoporosis and hypercalcemia and so on. It may also be used as therapeutic agents for preventing metastasis of cancer. In addition, the present derivatives are also applicable as intermediates for the preparation of ketone derivatives, which have inhibitory activity against thiol protease.

Aminoketone derivatives

Alpha-aminoketone derivatives of the present invention strongly inhibit thiol protease such as papain, cathepsin B, cathepsin H, cathepsin L and calpain or the like and have excellent properties in absorbance on oral administration, tissue distribution and cell membrane permeability. The alpha-aminoketone derivatives can thus be used as therapeutic agents for treating muscular dystrophy, amyotrophy, cardiac infarction, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, disturbance of consciousness or dyskinesia caused upon brain trauma, multiple sclerosis, peripheral nervous neuropathy, cataract, inflammation, allergosis, fulminant hepatitis, osteoporosis, hypercalcemia, breast carcinoma, prostatic carcinoma or prostatomegaly. They may also be used as therapeutic agents for suppressing growth of cancer cells, preventing metastasis of cancer or suppressing aggregation of plaques.
