Resumo

A novel class of inhibitor of the herpes proteases acting upon the catalytic apparatus by forming covalent complexes are described. Two new families of inhibitor, the spirocyclopropyl oxazolones and the benzylidine N-sulphonyloxyimidazolones, have been shown to be submicromolar inhibitors of HSV-2 and HCMV proteases which are selective relative to a panel of standard serine proteases.
